Topic: market research focus group

hello i am currently doing GCSE media studies i have a huge project due in october which is create a magazine cover and contents page. yes it doesnt seem like much but i have to do months of research. at the moment i am coming to the end of my research and all i have to do now is market reasearch focus group. as the magazine i am making is a gaming one you are my TA (target audience). if you would could you answer these questions

1. the name. what name will make you think its a nintendo magazine?
the BIG N magazine
the N
Ngaming

2. colours what type of colours should i use?

3. should there be alot of text on the front cover?

4. do you want more gaming news in the magazine or more game reviews?

5. what type of freebies should it include?

6. what sections do you want in it? eg. reviews, news ect

Word of advice: write a better introduction. I'm not inclined to answer a survey if I'm struggling to read your post.

a longer introduction would drive people away from answering my intro is quick and straight to the point

Ngaming
red and white
no
reviews

I meant in terms of punctuation and grammar. It's hard to read.

thank you for answering

This.
just keep te cover simple and work on your grammar.

1 Ngaming. is the best of the three, but it`s too close to a magazine already in publication called Ngamer. my suggestion would be Ndroid or iNtake.
2. red and white. most nintendo orientated magazines seem to go for these as their main colours.
3. No. you don`t need loads of text on the cover. you just need to have a picture from what you want to focus on most. either your main news article or from the big game release of the month, and a quick comment on what it`s about.
plus a its worth having small section in the corner with 3 or 4 other article comments for the latest news or reviews that will grab a readers interest. they should read similar to these. "BIG E3 info overload", "New Super Mario Bros 2 preview", "exclusive 3DS XL news and pictures inside"
you need to think about what would attract you to pick up and read the magazine. bright colours and a good layout are the two key factors to get people to even look at the cover of the magazine, that`s before they even pick it up.
4. tbh, most magazines will run news first and reviews second. reviews should be the main bulk of the magazine if possible.
sometimes, if it`s a quiet month for either news or reviews, adding a featured article in the middle helps to pad out the magazine. these could include developer interviews, maybe a round up of the best games from previous nintendo consoles. basicly, anthing nintendo related that readers will find interesting.

NGaming - Silver & Blue - Keep the front simple, put a few highlights, and a header for the main subject - Put a considerable amount of reviews, but have more news

1. The N
2. Red and White
3. No (images have a much bigger impact, IMO).
4. Reviews for sure. The internet will always break news first, but having an extra opinion (review) on a game's quality is always welcome.
