Here I can see that the age range must be eitheryoungadultsorgrownadults.Eventhough20-40 is
a lot more than othercategories,Ipersonallydon’twanttotargetthisage exactlybecause Iwantto
target youngerpeopleasIknowthisage range more as I am a part of it.The low resultfrom41-60
and no resultfrom61+ showsme that thisage range I shouldnotattemptto targetbecause they
don’tappearto like rockas much as the youngerage ranges.
What age range do youthinklistenstothe mostrock music?
What wouldyoulike tosee the mostina rock magazine?
Thisquestionrevealswhatstudentswouldliketosee ina studentmagazine whichshowsme whatthe younger
audience ismore interestedin.Thishelpsme make mymagazine more appealingandinterestingasitwill
feature whatyoungerpeople lookforinmagazines.WhatIshouldparticularlyfocusandinclude fromthe
resultsisnewrockbands andartists andupcomingconcertsand gigs.However,because Iamtargetingmy
rock magazine towardsfemales,the resultscome outwrongbecause stereotypically,the fashionstylesand
trendsiswhat shouldbe the mainfocusof women’sinterests.Therefore,despite the resultsIwill stillinclude
thisfeature tomy magazine.

How muchshouldthismagazine be?
ShouldIadvertise bandsorartists?
Thisgivesme an indicationforwhatIshouldputon the front of my magazine forthe price.It also
representsme thatthe people Iaskedare familiarwithmagazinesbecause thisisthe average
price for a musicmagazine. The answerof £1 is wrong,butbecause isnot a bignumber,I don’t
thinkitsrelevantanddoesn’taffectthe overallresultasmuch.
The overall leadinganswershowsthatmostpeople believe thatIshouldrepresentbothbands
and artistsinmy magazine.Howeverrockmusicgearsmore towardsbandsanywaybecause
rock musicis all aboutlive musicwhichisall aboutpeople playingmusical instrumentslike
guitarsand drums.All of the rock artistsmentionedfrompreviousquestionswere all bands
too whichonlyfurthersthe stereotype of rockmusicbeingdominatedbybandsandtherefore,
despite the results,Iwill onlyinclude bandsinmymagazine.
