Research Project Presentation


From Magazine to Glamourous

Hypothesis: 
I believe that magazines have an influence on the way females dress and do their make-up and hair through the portrayal of constantly changing trends in fashion to “look” better.

Survey Questions:
1. Are you between the ages of 12 and 26?                       
Yes                                     No
            2. How often do you buy a new magazine?
                        a.) Once a week
                        b.) Every two weeks
                        c.) Once a month
                        d.) When I like who is on the front cover
                        e.) Almost never
3. Which magazine do you most follow? (May be more than one)
                        ______________________________________________
4.  Do you get new ideas on how to “glamour up” from this/these magazine(s)?  
                                    Yes                                    NO

5. What do you most follow from a magazine?
            a.) Hair/makeup
            b.) Clothes
            c.) Shoes
            d.) Weight/fitness


Results:









3.) Which magazines are most followed?
·      People
·      Seventeen
·      Vogue
·      Fashion
·      Cosmo
·      Glamour
·      In Style
Out of the seven magazines most frequently purchased, People was the most common through 45% of the girls buying that one (which is 5/11 girls).



Conclusion:
Although most of the responses I received stated they hardly ever purchased a magazine, there was a high rate on being interested in what is in style, primarily being able to “glamour up” with makeup and dress according to fashion trends.
