Initial Conclusions

After collating my results from my research, both questionnaire and focus group I was able to come to some initial conclusions as to what I need to include in creating a successful product. My research has helped me to come to some general conclusions as to what would attract the audience on the front cover, and the content that should be included inside the final product.

I found from both focus group ideas and questionnaire results that my target audience regularly read weekly gossip magazines, which allowed me to gain a huge pointer as to the layout of the magazine that will attract the reader and also the general content and language that I should use in my final product. This also helped me to decide the title of my magazine, as I found that 'inside' would be a relevant title as it is similar to the titles given to some of the countries most popular weekly gossip magazines. I feel that similarities will attract the reader.

I also found from both parts of my research that my target audience would not be attracted to read a school magazine based solely on school life, as this has previously been produced in this particular school and has proved to be quite unsuccessful. In conclusion to my general research that I carried out before creating my final product, I was pleased with the feedback that I received as it gave me pointers as to what content and what style to base my magazine on so that it caters for my target audiences needs.
