I decided to opt for a questionnaire when it came to researching what my target audience wanted on my magazine review page as I found this to be a very useful method of research for my previous ancillary task. This was useful because I handed out this questionnaire to 20 people who fit into the category of my target audience and their input was useful upon the creation of my magazine review page. After gathering the questionnaires back in I looked at the results to determine what would feature in my magazines. The results were anonymous as I did not want to sway towards a more masculine/feminine design.

Question 1 results:

• "Tyrannosaur"- 3 votes
• "Avatar"- 11 votes
• "The Devil in Disguises"- 6 votes

Question 2 results:

• Yes- 16 votes
• No- 4 votes

Question 3 results:

• Pictures- 12 votes
• Text- 8 votes

Question 4 results:

• Yes- 14 votes 
• No- 6 votes

Question 5 results:

• Yes- 18 votes
• No- 2 votes 

Using this information it was clear that there was a majority vote each time so I decided that I would incorporate these ideas into the production of this ancillary task. It is important to use this research carefully because it is an accurate reflection of what my target audience want to see in a magazine review page. Not using these results would mean I was not listening to my target audience and I would likely create something that was not effective in engaging the audience.
