Masthead idea analysis and social media feedback.

I created 3 titles using the website ‘DaFont’ and posted my chosen three ideas on my Twitter and received some response. I asked my followers which font they liked the best and why. As you can see, 0% of my folowers selected the 1ST font.  10% selected the second text. And 90% selected the last masthead idea. As you can see, the last font was selected because they explained that it caught their attention and it looks proffestional. Also, the lettters are slightly bigger and further apart so it is easier to read.

Due to this result of my ideas, my school magazine’s masthead will be written in font number 3.

Below I have also attached a chart of my findings.

Analysis of my Questionnaire.

I gave my questionnaire out to be completed and i have gained results and feedback. Here are some of my many results. 

The most popular choice of colour scheme seemed to be white, black and blue. I asked why this was the choice over the yellow scheme and this was because yellow could be a difficult colour to read on the magazine. As well as this, if any students suffered with the condition of being colorblind, yellow is an extremely difficult colour to read and some people cannot see the colour yellow at all. 

Broadway also seemed to be the most popular font as it was easier to read and the font itself was bold and eye catching. 
The most popular masthead name was Chislehurst News.
50p was the amount most students were willing to pay so this will be the price of my magazine as well as the fact that quizzes and competitions were the most popular attraction for students to buy the magazine so ill make sure i advertise both these and the price of my magazine on the cover page. 

Also you can see below other information i received back from the students I asked.
