Research, Target Audience

I asked three students what they thought a the magazine should be like, this is what they said:

What kind of title should it have?

• "It should have a large title as that's what you see first".
• "Bold and bright colours always catch my eye".
• "It should be student related, then it would be easy to find". 

Layout

• "An image should be the main part of the cover".
• "The cover and contents page should be easy to read and follow".
• "I think it should still have bold colours, but not to much of it on the main articles, it would be too distracting".

Content

• "It should have student related stories".
• "A gossip column".
• "Defiantly something students can relate to".

Price

• "Free".
• "I don't think I could afford to buy it every month, so I think it should be free".
• "Should be free".
