Evaluation - Preparation - Questionnaires

Questionnaires are a great way to understand who my audience are and what they want. At the start of the year I used a questionnaire to get a sense of what my target audience wanted from the magazine.

Questionnaires are easy to produce and it is possible to distribute them out for high demand. They are cheap to make and can change the questions to fit my magazine. Therefore I can ask questions that link to the answers I need.

Since the audience is anonymous, apart from age and gender, I can expect to get real opinions from them, not influenced by having their name associate with their response. However, it is not possible to tell that the audience is telling the truth.  

As part of my evaluation, I plan to do a questionnaire to get opinions from my target audience.

 Closed

The data from closed questionnaires are measurable. There are a set number of answers and I can calculate percentages which answer the responders pick. However, there is often little opportunity for the responders to expand upon their response.

 

How I made my article

Chosen article photo

This is the photo I have chosen to use for my double page spread and main story.

Possible article photos

We headed down to the Quayside to take photos one afternoon for my double page spread. I moved away from using the green room in school as sometimes the lighting can affect the photo taken. These are some of the possible photos I could use for my article.

Article

I have written my article on Microsoft word and will then transfer it onto InDesign. I have chosen to do an interview between a journalist and my main story star 'Kai Turner'.

NEW double page flat plan

After careful consideration, I have decided to change the layout of my article. At first this was the flat plan for it;

However I have decided not to use three different images and instead take a landscape photo of my artist in a different location, not the green room. So now my flat plan for this is;

Double Page Spread Idea

I am currently writing my article for the double page spread and have decided the name of my artist will be 'Kai Turner' and will be going solo from being part former boy band 'Horizon' for several years that have had great success in the past years. The article will be an interview with the artist talking about his latest projects and his feelings after leaving the band.
