From the number of votes I learnt “KHS” was the most popular masthead.

“we have issues….” Had the most votes here, this is because many people found the pun
5. How much would you pay for a school magazine?

50p-£1 3 votes
£1-£2
£2-£3 1 vote
This was a tie between “50p-£1” and “less than 50p”
The price will be decided by the cost of production but will likely be the more expensive one.
6. Please circle five of the following stories you would be interested in reading about in a school magazine
Uniform
Sports 4 votes
Teachers 5 votes
Exams 2 votes
New lifts 5 votes
Buildings 2 votes

Activities 3 votes
School trip 4 votes
Canteen 1 vote
Food 2 votes
Resources
The five most popular stories are “sports” “teachers” “new lifts” “clubs” and “school trip” although it had less votes I would choose “activities” over “new lifts” because there would be a wider range to discuss on the topic.
7. Which of the following images would you want to see on the front cover of your schools magazine?
School teams/clubs
Teachers 2 votes
6th formers 3 votes
Year 7-13 2 votes
Most votes went to 6th formers so they will become one of the main images, I was surprised school teams/ clubs received no votes but I would probably include it anyway as a secondary image separate to the main one.

RED 1 vote
BLUE 1 vote
YELLOW 1 vote
GOLD 3 votes
BLACK 1 vote

“GOLD” was the most popular colour and will be the primary colour for titles and borders, and I will most likely use black and white as secondary colours for text or background colour.

Year 8
Year 9
Year 10
