Research and Design Example by Martha Causier

Draft Design Example by Hannah Franks

Hannah Franks' work is an example of a professional looking piece of work. This is her draft product. It is successful because she has used the conventions intelligently to suit her magazine genre and target audience perfectly.
This piece of work also highlights how important colour and font choice are in the design process. All three of these products link together as they are following an in-house style. In other words, it is easy to see how all the pages come from the same magazine. Well done Hannah!

Media Institutions use Market Research to guide them to make their magazine appeal to their Target Audience. Knowing what your readers like is key to being able to design a product that will attract customers and in turn generate profit.

Use Survey Monkey to help you construct a questionnaire. Invite people to answer your questionnaire and then analyse the data.
