I asked a group of seven people, all of which were female, to answer a series of questions on their preferences for a school magazine. The majority of these, with five votes all said that they would be interested in buying a magazine; however the remaining two both said they would only be interested if the magazine was free.
The most popular choice for the masthead was “JANGLE” with a strong five votes. One person chose “The Reformer”, and all other options weren’t chosen. When asked about the caption of the magazine, there was more variation between the different options. The most popular with two votes each, were “The K.H.S Portal” and “King Henry’s Herald”. Other captions chosen were, “News, Debate, Gossip”, “The K.H.S Update” and “Your weekly fix of news, debate and gossip.” But these only had one vote each.
Four of the people asked, thought the target audience for the magazine should be sixth formers, however two of these four also chose KS4. With three votes, some thought the magazine shouldn’t be restricted to one age group but should be for the whole school.
I also asked each of them what colours they associate with King Henry School in order to get an idea for the colour scheme for the magazine. The two most popular choices of colour were black with five votes and yellow with four votes. Green and gold had two votes each. The least popular colours were red, purple, pink and blue, each only with one vote.
Given five votes for the main image for the front cover were sixth formers. Pupils in lower education were given two votes. Both the school site and sports teams were only given one vote each.
Everyone who was asked would want information on upcoming events featured in the magazine. The next popular was news from the new drama production rehearsals with a strong six votes, along with student opinions. Other fairly popular choices were updates on student debates and information on the new school canteen with five votes each. Slightly less popular were student opinions with three votes, and the least popular was sporting success with just two votes.
