Homework Due Thursday 6th October

By next Thursday, you must:

—  Create a questionnaire and conduct the research.

—  Come up with a final list of ideas for your magazine – do this on word so that it becomes a formal part of the planning process -  see example!

—  Write 1-2 paragraphs justifying the decisions you have made in terms of appealing to a specific target audience.

—  Write 1-2 paragraphs on how your audience research informed your final decisions.

An optional extra is:

—  Conduct a focus group as well to really explore the opinions of your target audience!

Homework for Thursday 29th September

Decide on and make a bullet-point list of the following:

-     The audience of your school magazine. Make sure you break it down into a detailed demographic: age, gender, class, race, interests and beliefs. This relates to your school and you will need to research the population and not just make assumptions.

-     What conventions you are going to use to attract that audience and what conventions you are going to subvert (play with/turn on their head).

-     How the use of these conventions will help you create a particular representation of your target audience. What kind of “reality” are you trying to create with this representation.
