2. In my audience research I create 9 questions, and now there are 20 people
wrote my survey, so I think they can represent a small group of people what
they are thinking about the music magazine.
This is my questionnaire.
3. * QUESTION 1
Question 1 I want to know the
age of the audience, and then
I can find
the people from different age
have different thinking of the
music magazine. From the
sheet we can see we have
different aged audience,
especially the teenagers, I
think it is quite good, because
I can get more ideas from their
different answers and the
almost people is from 16 to
20,it is very similar to my
target audience, so I think I
will try to make my magazine
more lively and use some
warm colours to attract my
target audience.
4. *
I created this question is because I want
to know which genre do people like best.
Unfortunately, you can see, most people
chose others, and I find they are indie rock
music,create pop and poetry songs. SO if I
see the indie rock as rock music, I can get
25% or more people like rock music, and
10% like pop music and 15% like classical
music, and just a small group of people
like rap music and folk. I decide to make a
country music magazine, but surprisingly,
nobody choose that, so I know maybe my
magazine just can attract less people to
read it. Although, I think it doesn’t matter
because more and more magazines are
rock music, so maybe some details have
been already boring, if I can show
something really interesting in my
magazine or something they don’t know
before, my magazine can also be
successful.
5. *
This question can bring me convenient
and let me know how much would people
like to pay.From the from we can see
almost people like to pay me 2
pounds,and also somebody like to pay 3—
5pounds to buy a magazine.So finally,I
decide I the price of my magazine will be
2.5pounds.I know first people don’t want
to pay more in a new magazine,and
someone even write’I only get free
magazine’,also the genre of my magazine
is country music,it just can attract less
people and if it is very expensive as
well,nobody will buy it,for me it will be a
such big problem.
6. 6
*
*From their answers I think in my
magazine I will write something
really and make my writing more
creative.I will write some
interesting stories maybe about
love, the experience of the
singer or band or something
encouragement and some latest
news.Also,I find some people like
to read historical stories,so I will
also write some articles about
the history of the singer or band.
7. 7
*
*This question can give me
some advice about the
layout of my double page.My
plan is like the almost
people’s choice—a half
pictures and a half text.I
think this kind of layout can
make people read easy and
won’t be tired or boring
during reading.Also,
somebody wants the article
have more pictures,I think if
I can find the images(not the
main image,it is the add
image ) which relate to the
article,I will put it around
the the text.
8. 8
*
*I create this question
because I want to know
which part of the magazine
will people pay more
attention,then I will plan
that part careful and think
more.From the answer I
found people will find
whether this magazine genre
or article they are interested
in first,then see the design of
the magazine.So I will spend
more time on the design and
layout.Then I need to have a
creative writing to write
some popular articles or
latest news to attract people
to buy my magazine.
9. 9
*
*I want to find out which
element in the cover
page is the most
important.Now,I know
it is very necessary to
spend my time in how
to make my cover page
design as a professional
magazine.Also, the
cover image is very
important,I think I will
look through more
magazines’ cover image
and study how to take
it by myself.

*
*This question I
just want to know
whether the
magazine logo is
important.I think
if I can make the
logo very special
and has my own
style,maybe
people can
remember it and
buy it.
11. 11
*
*This question can make me
know how long I should
publish a new
magazine.Because maybe I
just have a small group of
customers,so I won’t choose
weekly because it will bring
me(the editor) a high
pressure and maybe will sell
less.I think I will choose the
semimonthly or the
monthly.At the beginning,I
will publish it monthly,it is
very assure for a new
magazine,but if my
magazine sales good,I think I
will change it into
semimonthly.
