Advanced production initial decision

I have now decided that I will do a Magazine for my coursework. I am probably going to do a satirical Magazine, because it allows me to add humour to my work, which is something I enjoy. Therefore i will look at Magazines such as Private Eye to get some inspiration.

I have decided that I will produce the front cover, contents page, one advert and one feature article.

In terms of my research into my target audience I will give out Questionnaires to at least twenty
respondents, because it will allow me to clearly understand what appeals to the audience that I am trying to attract. I will use questionnaires as opposed to interviews because although interviews would also give me a full picture of what the readers would want,I do not have a very long time to do this project and transcribing each interview would be time consuming.

As part of my research I intend to show the respondents a range of front covers of Magazines and ask them to tell me what they like and dislike about them . I will be defining my target audience as the research progresses.
