QUESTIONNAIRE.

As part of our task we have to devise a questionnaire in which we need to give to our target audience to complete - this would be known as primary research. I asked 10 of my target audiences to answer this questionnaire as honestly as they could to help me decide on what features to include. This will then help me to get ideas on the design and style of my final magazine.

From the results that I have collected from doing this questionnaire it is clear to see that a certain answer powers the other options. For example, "what colours do you like to see on the design?" every person I asked went with option A meaning that I will use these kind of colours on my design rather than the colours in option B. This is because people are more likely to purchase something in which they prefer and like when compared to others. 
As long side this "do you like to see bright colours on the front page?" the majority of the people replied with 'yes' meaning that I will most likely include bright colours on my design.
With each answer I will take the option which received more responses and apply them into my magazine as it is what interests my target audience most - possibly leaving it with more sales!
