What I Have Learnt So Far

Preliminary Task

I'm working on a project to design a magazine aimed at 6th form students in the school of City of London Academy. The key requirements are to take a photograph of a student, medium close up shot. Also, I need to have appropriately laid out typography and masthead. All this needs to be done by the 14th December with the research and planning by the 26th of October. The production by the 23rd November. I also need to create a rough contents page.

Name: Jack Jackson Year: 12

 

1. Do you read magazines?

Yes.

2. What genre of magazine do you read?

I am mainly interested in marvel comics, superhero magazines or in general cartoon type comics. I may also read some football magazines.

5. How long would you spend reading the magazine?

I would normally spend 5 to 15 minutes reading a magazine.

6. Would you like to receive rewards for competitions between magazine issues? Such as ‘Best Swag of The week’ or ‘Best Sporty Student of the Week’?

Yes. I think that would make the magazine more interesting.

7. How much would you roughly spend buying a magazine?

The maximum I would go to is £5.

8. Would you be interested in a sports section in the 6th form magazine?

Yes.

 

Analysing the answers I have received. It seems like this person and other people prefer to only read a magazine which interests them for no longer than 20 minutes and will only spend no more than £5 buying the magazine. This person and a few others are interested in having a sports section in the magazine. Everyone has feedback that they would like the idea of awards in the magazine as most say it would make the magazine more interesting to read and more worth buying. Most of the teenagers are interested in non-fiction books such as Harry Potter which gives me some sort of idea to what to include, also teenagers would like a section in the magazine which will help them in their studies and help them have a career plan/path to move on in their life to further education or getting a job from when they finish 6th form. This has been a success in getting feedback and I am grateful for it, it has given me lots of ideas to what to include in the articles for my magazine.
