Today, 21st September 2011, I was set a target to ‘Demonstrate an understanding of primary research’. Primary research generally means my own research.
To achieve this target, I had two tasks to carry out. This included the completion of a questionnaire and to analyse two magazines.
The questionnaire involved me using the Mac computers to create my own questionnaire as a research task for my upcoming magazine. I made up twelve questions to ask my fellow peers about what they would expect from the magazine I am making. An example of one of my questions is ‘How much would you be willing to pay for the College magazine? 50p, 70p or £1.00.

I then analysed two college magazines from Google Images.
I did both of these tasks to develop my research skills, analysis skills including textural analysis and to further knowledge in creating a magazine.
