How the responses for the college magazine questionnaire influenced my design

Most of my topics and regulars i have included in my magazine have been based rounded what the respondents said in my questionnaire. This helped me see what people really wanted in there magazine.

* I have used the college logo colours which had the highest suggestion out of all the colours. Therefore it was designed for a multi sex readership.

* I have used the price that i found by my researchers of being the most common as it could be given out in the college.

* I have covered a few topics that was suggested by my responses. As i couldn't choose all of them as some of them i didn't think relevant for my target audiences.

* I used the college logo because many of my students found it operate, to have it as it represent the college, as the college logo is the identity of where each student gose.

* I also asked my resonses about the magazine they normal read or buy, as this helped me take in to consider what other topics of subjects i could inclued eg i inclued the college rugby score for the sports fans and the gossip from the college party for all the heat readers.
