Overall

From this questionnaire I have gathered that the overall look should come across as relatable to the audience using big fun writing. The price should be from £1.00 to £1.20 so it is affordable for students. The colours should be kept simple and too one colour that should go with the image and create a stable theme throughout the magazine. The magazine should be full of competitions and interesting articles that students can relate to. The pictures should suggest fun and connote an atmosphere that makes people feel happy and that’s how student life should be.
