Evaluation of my questionaire

Evaluation of questionaire

I need further research to make my school magazine more effective and to tell me something about the choices students make about the typical magazines given out in a weekly bases. The questionnaire was given to 7 pupils at different age groups to see their views about the typical normal school magazines. As I have given the questionnaire to a range of students this gives me a fair result and makes me not look biased when opinions are made about the magazines. As a result I than analysed these given result shown by the analysis in the end.

I used this questionnaire to identify what type of thing I should put on my questionnaire for student who chose the other box they would choose what other things they would want the magazines to include. This helped me understand that all pupils’ choices are different and some people prefer typical advices instead of activities, whereas some just like to have their fun. In these question I have given students a range of choices and made things more specific instead of asking random question that doesn’t relate to the front magazine page that I intend to do.

 After this I will evaluate the results of all question and making sure i use these answers to my advantage when doing the context page because a will have a overall understanding of what typical things inspire students and teachers.

To get the best results when trying to find out what features is best to suit my school magazine I don't further research to try and suit this magazine front cover to everyone. So I did a questionnaire and it was given to 5 different students and year groups so I can get a range of answers back so that I have a variety of things in my magazine front cover and contexts that suites the recommended boundaries for rhs.it was chosen at random to help me make my school magazine more personal to them. Then I have analysed the result and will show it in this PowerPoint. Many students don't read the magazine and there was a 75% that don't read it at all which shows that there's isn't much entrainment in them or things they enjoyed reading.35% of the rest which are mostly teachers enjoy reading the magazines in school feeling that they want to know the different achievements student have done during school terms. As a result it shows that in my magazine I would need to put things then people enjoy and make it attractive for the targeted audiences. Some students did say that they didn't enjoy reading school magazine because there were other accessories in school that entertain them and weren't boring.

Many students around 90% or more did say they did like the school uniforms. Some gave their reasons as it looks smart and very attractive for other people outside school to see them. Teachers also commented saying that the new school uniform makes a different on the appearances of school students because they look ready to learn and don't bother to much about the way they look as it has a smart look on them already. Some students day say that the new school uniform makes them look more mature in this case they love the whole make of the new school uniform that brings a different feeling to the new creation of the school. 10% mostly students did feel that school uniforms takes away individuality and doesn't let people show their unique skills. So therefore they dislike the new school uniform. Overall this shows that the new reconstructing and changes in the new school means that it has positive impacts on some individuals and some teachers on were the school is moving in the future. This therefore shows me that I can include the changes that has been already happening and what impact it has had on people. A school logo and a picture of the school uniform will be the best solution for my school magazine.  On the other hand some individuals didn't like the school uniform and i will have to add other things that has been happening in their new school to convey the message that there's other things to look forward to in school.

Well this was the critical question that I had to ask because therefore I could find out the things that different teachers enjoy seeing and what students also enjoy seeing. Also in the opposite of this the things that they don't enjoy as much. In this case I also left an other category to see if they had any suggestion what they would like to see if the things that were there didn't suit their liking. this helped me understand that not all pupils interest are the same, but in this case I will include things about trips because that was commonly chosen by students mainly. As a result this will increase the popularity and more school magazines wouldn't go to waste because this will mean that most pupils will be encourage to read the school magazines.
The highest category chosen was trips with the least about advices for school. This means that more pupils love to see more trips update and are concerned about the amount of fun things going on in their school. If this magazine was to sell out in the street this will immediately attract many buyers because many people would be interested in seeing trips and the things that is going in school with the updates in exams dates etc and this will mainly attract parents as it will show them what things are going on in school.

50% of the students mention that they like all colours to be used in the school magazines because it makes the school magazine stand out more. I gave a range of options they can choose from and others they could suggest. As they feel that all colours make a different on the appearance and the attractiveness of the front cover of the school magazine this means that in my front cover I will have to used a range of different colours were appropriate. The rest  of the students chose blue/white and red which means that i have to include these colours as they are vital in attracting the targeted audiences. Colours that didn't associate with the school logo were not chosen so this means that they were  not appropriate to be used in some areas of the school magazine as they wouldn't be appealing to teacher and students.

What I manage to do

      The school magazine follows the policies and conventions of a typical school magazine. My masthead is placed right in the middle of the front cover to attract the target audience which in this case is students and some teachers who are interested to find out what students are doing across every boarder of subject choice. The issue and date number is going to be placed in the corner and underneath the master head. The main cover line is the boldest and the largest text on the screen having the text anchoring the images and making everything stand out and more clear to the students. The main cover line or in this case in my front cover the main master head is followed with a main image of me standing looking down at the master head showing that I am aware of the countdown to the new building in RHS. I have so far chosen the colours blue in the background colours and the image to fade in and contrast with the background colours to show that everything is joined together. I have set my context page to be split into two half triangles so that I could fit in the four main points. As I have researched many different context page this was the most effective way to show all the events that are taking place of the new school buildings. I made sure the date line is standing out and can be viewed by the audiences very easily. As these colours are simple and are not doll therefore it will attract various amount of readers.

      To follow the codes and conventions of a school magazine my main image in my content page has been placed in the middle bottom half of the page.

      The word content is located at the top left of the page. I made sure that i have enough storyline to fill my context page so that it becomes appealing to the students and teachers.

      To create my school magazine I used Photoshop which is a hardware that is responsible of making a magazine designer. I found this software particularly hard to use because i never used it before but when I got the hang of things it really brightened my front cover and context page. I have identified how important choosing specific colours for your front cover magazine because that is the direct attention of the audience’s eyes and therefore needs to be eye catching. This is all helped by the Photoshop to help me choose a light blue colour so that its not too bright but it balances out brightness and darkness together making the image stand out more. I have made sure that the image covers the whole magazine and not part of it because this follows the codes and conventions of how to show and effective school magazine. At this session I managed to choose he front cover background and image. I particularly chose that specific image because it shows that I have a interesting idea in other terms as I am looking down at the countdown it shows that I’m curious and waiting until the final intervention of the school

      I chose the fonts to be in that way and also that size because it shows the colour contrasting with the background and the “N” being the biggest word as the countdown goes up and the down over the “N”. The background colour is light blue contrasting with the grey to show the image as a fade therefore the words can stand out more over the light. Also I used this slogan to improve my school magazine front cover because it gave me the idea to create a magazine that has all the different activities building up to the final new school building.






      As I have cropped the image I have got rid of the other parts of the image to manipulate it so that my facial expression stands out more in the shading light instead of the unwanted accessories at the background. Also I cropped the bottom part of my body to show my folded arms and my concentration and focus instead of what I am wearing.
