How old are you?
The reason I have asked this
question in my questionnaire is
because it will allow me to look at
what my target audience thought
about the genre indie/rock. As you
can see, the majority of people I
have asked are between the ages of
13 and 18. This is because this age
is around my target audience, and if
I asked anyone a lot older, then the
results would probably be a lot
different, and so wouldn’t be very
valuable because they wouldn’t
help me when I come to construct
my music magazine.
3. What is your gender?
Male-9
Female-11
The reason I asked this question is because it will allow me to see what
both genders think about music magazines, which will consequently
give me a wider view of what is good and bad about music magazines.
As you can see I have got a mixture of results from both genders, which
will mean that I will created my magazine that is suitable for both male
and female.

This will help me with my magazine
because it will allow me to see on
average what people would be
willing to pay for a magazines, which
will consequently help me to set a
reasonable price for my music
magazine.

This question will help me to think about
how often I should publish a new issue of
my magazine because this question helps
me to understand on average how
frequently my target audience would by my
magazine. I have found from my results
that on average my target audience would
be willing to by my magazine once per
month.

This question is a good one
ask my target
audience, because it will allow
me to find out what colour
scheme they would associate
with the music genre I will be
focusing on. As you can
see, the colours that my target
audience thought best go with
the music genre indie/rock are
red, blue and black. As a
result of this, I will definitely
consider these colours when
creating my music magazine.

about them in articles.

Like Dislike
The two graphs above will help me because they will help me to decide what I
will include and exclude from my magazine to satisfy my target audience. For
example, from the results on the “Like” graph I can see that I should consider
including reviews, band information, interviews and general music information
when creating my magazine. The graph emphasises that I should consider
excluding advertisements from my magazine.
10. What things in the magazine persuade you to buy it
General information
Posters
Quizzes and puzzles
Other:
Interviews
Free CD's
Freebies
Front cover
This question will help me by
providing me with
information on what
incentives to put in my
music magazine to influence
my audience to by the
magazine. As you can
see, the graph demonstrates
that is should consider
including general
information and posters
when producing my music
magazine.

Text Pictures I don't mind
Series1
This question will be
good because from the
results on the
graph, the statistics
demonstrate that the
majority of my target
audience don’t mind if
there is text or pictures
on my magazine, which
will mean that I will
have a wider choice of
things to include in my
magazine.

genre?

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC
Series1
This question will be usual
for my magazine as it will
help me to generate a
house style for my font
which will attract my
target audience. As you
can see on the graph, the
second font is more
popular with my target
audience, so I may
possibly consider this font
when creating my music
magazine.
13. Do you listen to indie/rock?
Yes-14
No-6
This question will help me, because for
the people who have said no in this
question, I might not take all of their
views into account, because I think it
would be better to ask people
questions about the music genre
indie/rock, who actually have an
interest in it, because it will make my
questionnaire more accurate.
14. What regular features would you like to see in a magazine?
Interviews
Posters
Album reviews
Gossip
Fashion
Other:
Freebies
This question will help
me because it allows
me to know what my
target audience would
like to see appear in
my music magazine.
For example, the two
main regular features
that I will consider
including my magazine
are album reviews and
posters, because this is
what the pie chart
expresses.

This question is good as
is demonstrates things
that would persuade the
reader to buy my music
magazine, as you can
see, the things that my
target audience would
like to see advertised in
magazines are mostly
free tickets, and the free
prizes (iPods).
16. Would you like to have the chance to enter prize draws if you
bought a magazine?
Yes-18
No-2
This question is good as it stresses that most of
my target audience would want the chance to be
entered into a prize draw if they bought a
magazine. Since 18 out of 20 people said they
would want to have that chance and only two
wouldn’t, I could use this information to suggest
that the majority of my target audience would
want to be able to enter a prize draw, which may
make me decide to put something into the
magazine which gives the buyer that opportunity
to be entered into a prize draw.
