Media college magazine evaluation

The results that I gathered from my questionnaire, asked to 16-19 year olds, have helped to

determine what this age group want from a college magazine. The questionnaire highlighted that it

should be issued monthly, cover a wide range of subjects not all to do with just college, include

interviews with students and many more features.

The research I done into magazines before this questionnaire enabled me to gain an insight into

what college magazines should include, and then by furthering this information to create suitable

questions and getting helpful answers which will help me create a college magazine that students

will actually enjoy reading and want to have. The results I got from the questionnaire have allowed

me to find out what the target audience think should be in college magazines and what they want

this helps me because my final product will be suited to them and be everything that they want to

see and gain from a college magazine.

In my magazine I am going to include academic advice, student success stories, sex and relationship

Q & A’s, social life and college sports and entertainment because these are the features that

generated the most interest in the questionnaire. The magazines colour scheme will consist of

college colours such as: blues, greens and white as these colours came up more than once. A whole

page dedicated to college events as this would be helpful, tips on personal statements and allow

student input and images of people who actually attend the college.
