The results of the questionaire were then used to create the college magazine on the understanding that the answers were what the target audience wanted. The results to the questionaire were.
Q1. The majority of the vote was no. this helps to show us that College magazines are not intressting to the target audience and dont provide the information they want.

Q3. the main things wanted inside a college magazine are sports, music, college events and jobs.
