2. For my research task I produced a questionnaire about music which I
could use the results for to help me when it comes to producing my own
music magazine. I included some important questions such as favourite
music genres and what people like about magazines. I also asked what
was their favourite music magazine on the market today and how that
magazine stands out from the rest of the other magazines on the
shelves. These questions would give me some good and bad examples
of what to include or not to include in my magazine
Here are the results from my questionnaire

With these results I can see that the main focus for my music magazine is people aged
between 16 and 20. There was 38 out of 64 people who filled out the questionnaire in
the age range of 16 to 20. Between these 38 people there was an even distribution
between male and female, so my magazine will have to appeal to both genders in some
way. People of other age ranges also completed the questionnaire so I could possibly
produce the magazine in a way that it will appeal to people of all ages and both genders.

Looking at the results for the favourite genre question, I have discovered that the majority put Rock down as their
favourite genre. Also a few people put down Indie and Pop. When it comes to producing my music magazine the main
genre focus will be rock music , however I can also include a variety of Pop and Indie bands to appeal to a wider
audience. As many people did not put answer with the other genres I think I will not include them in the magazine.

In my questionnaire I asked what people favourite magazine was. As I can see by the results Kerrang was the
favourite closely followed by NME. Which are possibly the two most know and popular music magazines. When
producing my own magazine I will take ideas from these two different magazines to help me produce my own. Q
magazine was the next favourite so I may also include features which are used within Q magazine.
6. I next asked people the amount of money which they are likely to spend on a music magazine. As shown in the
results below the majority of people opted in the £1-£2 category. This allows me to set myself a budget when
making the magazine. If I would sell it for this price it would have to make it’s money back through advertisements
or some other way. Also this data lets me see if the magazine should be weekly or monthly. If it is cheap to
produce then It could be a weekly magazine.
