My School Magazine Audience Questionnaire.

I sent out an audience questionnaire which when I received it back provided me with ideas on things such as what to call my magazine, what features/sell lines I should include and the colour scheme which should be used. I didn't act on every bit of feedback I received but took into account the answers I thought would best reflect my target audience of 16-18 year old females at an all girls school. Here is the questionnaire I sent out:

In my next blog will be the reader profile I created before I made the school magazine, as well as a mood board to show visually what type of person would typically read it.
