Evaluation Of Results

When reading through my survey results it becomes evident on what people like when it comes to magazines. It is shown in my tables that people don't read magazines very often but when they do the genre people rate the highest is Hobbie . Previously I planned to do a gaming magazine but the tables have said Hobby despite my results I am choosing to do a lifestyle magazine based on the military. The public also seem to wants posters included in their magazines as a free gift prompting them to purchase the magazine.

As well as this my results show that a magazine should have a variety of interesting topics to keep the readers interested in the magazine. The results make the statement that people would like magazines released every week but at the same time they would prefer not to buy a subscription but instead buy the individual issues. My final question was asking if an attractive cover would urge you to buy a magazine the answers were mostly yes this makes it obvious that people judge a book by its cover quite literally for they take most notice on the cover as it is what gives them their first impression of the magazine.
