what i thought of the questionaire about college magazines
I knew i needed to make a questionaire about college magazines before making one to see if their was a market for it,and what i would need to include.
I asked do you think a college magazine is a good idea and 84% of people said it was a good idea,so after the first question i knew alot of people would want a magazine.I then asked would you pay for it and just under 40% of people would pay but a further 30% said they would pay for it if it was good enough.So i had to think about how i'm going to show that further 30% who origonaly arnt giving it a first chance to show them it is worth the money so i will be most proberly making the first edition for free so they can see if they like it or not.
Alot of people wanted the magazine to be published on a monthly basis which was quite good for me because that gives me a chance to make it to a top notch quality and get more people to enjoy reading it which means more people buying it but on the downside if it was published on say a 2 weekly thing it would mean a higher frequency of people buying it.
After establishing that their was room in the market to make a college magazine i went on to ask what they would want me to include in it and what the students of my college wanted to be included is ;a gossip page,college information,course information,envents guide and a sports page.The options that wenrt so popular were mainly horoscopes and other things like that.
I decided i am going to put a competition in the magazine and to feautre on the front page is for people to send their pictures in to me and the winner will be placed on the front cover on of the magazine on the next edition.

my analyse in making a good magazine cover
When making a college student magazine you will need to find out several things for instance the audience you are aiming at and if they are willing to pay for the magazine and what they would like to be included.In this college magazine the writer has done a very good job in finding who their audience and everything they have included in the front cover has related together and nothing really does not fit into the audience "of being a girly girl american cheerleader type" .
