Preliminary Task: Student Magazine Q&A


Analysis of the specified results

The results I have appear to be commonplace, but there is a contradictory answer with the first question.

Students are happy to pay nothing for a monthly or termly distributed magazine from the reception or coffee shop with red, white and black colours that are eye-catching, especially if it contains updates for revision, competitions, music, fashion and food, and they are happy to get the magazine if it contains free stuff, since freebies are just awesome. They are happy to see themselves and others with their work on the front cover, and they also want it to be multi-platform so they can share the magazine with friends on Facebook. They will even permit for relevant advertising in the magazine.

Yet 90% of all students do not, or would probably not, read the magazine anyway. So what is the use of distributing a student’s college magazine if so few people are interested in reading it? They expect so much from it, but when it comes around they were never interested in the first place. By using these results, it is possible that the magazine could be revamped into a whole new thing, enforcing ideas provided by the students, for the students. This gives the magazine a new lease of life and an opportunity to rescue its positive reputation among the students.


It is possible to put effort into this magazine to revive it, and with (mostly) approximate results relating to what the students want, its revamp and return could be a success.
