As you can see from the table above the majority of the student feel that the colour blue and green would suit a school magazine best as the colours are not too out there and not so dull. A mixture of pictures, short and long text would be best as some people like reading longer text than others however, long paragraphs will be limited as the majority prefer short text. Students would rather have the front cover of the magazine to be students in the school as it would make the students feel more involved in the magazine as they would be seeing familiar faces however, the front magazine would change when it is published to give a change to it and not see the same thing over and over again. They prefer it to be published every term as only one person said they would spare time to read it however if it is published every term they will not get bored of it and could probably read it going home from school one day.
