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.
