1. Male or female:
The majority of the people who filled out my questionnaire
Male were female and slightly lower were male. This means the
Female result would be bias to certain questions.
Age range:
15 - 17
The results show that mainly 15-17 year old would be
18 - 20
interested in the magazine, so the result will be slightly bias.
21+
It will still appeal to 15-21 year olds, but a little verged to the
younger side with older additions.
How often do you buy a magazine:
Once a
month
The results show that the majority of the pupils that
Twice a
month answered said that they either buy a magazine once a month
Monthly or never. So I will make my magazine so it has monthly
editions.
When I can
Never
Favourite colour:
Blue
Red The colour with the most votes was blue, then red, then
White
white. My magazine colour scheme will revolve around
these colours which is convenient as it is the British flag
Purple
colours.
Green
Orange
Pink

2. Favourite Artist:
Solo
This shows that people’s favourite type of artist is a solo
Duet
artist. This will help me decide the front cover in inside
4 piece article feature so people will be interested in reading
5 piece about their favourite kind of artist.
What is the most you will pay for a magazine:
£3.00-£3.49
These results show that my target audience who are
£3.50-£4.00
presumably in full-time education so they cannot afford
£4.01-£4.50 £4 magazines, so I will minimise my price so it is
affordable.
Favourite shape:
Circle
Square I did this question so I could decide which shape to do the
Triangle puff in so it appealed to my audience.
Other
Most interested in reading:
New band It is clear that people really wish to know about
feature new album releases. So I will involve that in a
Interview on quite large percentage in my magazine. Next is
new bands
meeting the band, so I will cover various aspects
New album in meeting the band and when they are touring
release
and releasing albums.
Tour dates
Meeting the
band

3. Male or female cover:
This has helped me know what my target audience would
Male
rather see on the cover. This result is a female would be
Female
more appealing. Along with the favourite type of artist, I now
know that my front cover will be a female solo artist to
appeal to my audience.
Promotional offers:
Posters To promote my magazine, I will offer a certain
Competitions amount of posters as that would interest people
Freebies to buy my magazine. People also would like
freebies so that may added to gain more buyers.
Discounts
Least interested in reading:
New band
feature This shows that people are not interested
Interview on in reading about an interview. So in my
new bands magazine I will keep the interviews to a
New album minimum and more things the audience
release wants.
Tour dates
Meeting the
band
Simple or busy cover:
The results show that a simple cover only slightly
Simple appeals more. So I will make a simple cover and
Busy maybe make the contents busier to appeal to the
other majority.

4. One or two words for name:
This question was to help me decide what kind of name my
One magazine would have. The results show that a simple one
Two worded magazine name would be better than a two worded
magazine.
Exclusive bands or interviews:
This proves that my audience is more interested in finding out
Bands
about new bands than interviews. So on the cover of my magazine, I
Interviews will enlarge the fact I have exclusive bands so I will gain more
buyers.
Prefer old or new indie band:
My target audience are more interested in older indie music. So in
Old
my magazine I will try and involve the fact that older indie bands are
New still around and what they are doing now and the greatest songs.
Would you enter competitions:
It is simply shown that depending on the competition, people would
Yes enter. So I have to make sure that if I do include competitions, they
No have to be interesting so that people would wish to enter them.
Depends

5. How many pages:
15-19 In a previous question it said people would rather buy
20-24 magazines monthly. So this question helps it along as people
25-29 would rather buy a magazine with a lot of pages. So I could do
30-34 more and sell monthly instead of more often with fewer pages.
What attracts you to a magazine:
Title name
It is clear to state that a cover image is what attracts a person
Cover most to a magazine, so I have to make sure I have an appealing
image cover. A colour scheme also seems important to the people
Colour answering the questions, so that was also be a key inside to my
scheme
cover.
Layout
Other
Do you like advertisements in magazines:
Yes Only slightly do people I asked like advertisements in magazines. So I will
No include a fair few to reach out to my audience. I will include a few full
page advertisements.
