The survey results showed that the target audience for the magazine is 16-19 year olds. Most respondents said they would buy an acoustic music magazine and be interested in articles about artists like Green Day and Ben Howard. The majority preferred a monthly magazine that costs between £3-5 with a spacious layout. Most were interested in new music releases and photography that is not overly edited. The font and text size could experiment with both bold and minimalistic options.
2. Question 1
The proportion of
females in comparison
top males that have
filled out my survey is
significantly lower. I
could use these results
to improve my ideas
for the design of my
magazine so that the
contents is slightly
more in the interest of
females.
3. Question 2
The majority of the
people that filled in my
survey are 16-19 year
olds. Therefore my
magazine design should
be aimed at that age
range as my target
audience.
4. Question 3
43.33% of people that
answered my survey
said that they would
buy acoustic genre
magazine. I should
therefore make the
music genre of my
magazine acoustic.
5. Question 4
• There was an equal
divide between the
amount of people that
said they would be most
likely to either see Green
Day or Ben Howard live
but not Justin Bieber.
Therefore in my
magazine I should
concentrate on articles
about artists and music
that’s most popular from
my survey.
6. Question 5
The largest amount of people
said that they would
subscribe to a magazine
monthly and the second most
popular format was
electronic download.
Therefore my magazine
would most likely be a
monthly delivered magazine.
7. Question 6
There was an equal
divide in the amount
of people that would
spend £3 and under
and who would spend
£3- £5. Therefore the
price range of my
magazine should be
between £0- £5.
8. Question 7
46.67% of people
said that new
releases is what
interests them most
in a music
magazine. I could
use this in my
magazine design ad
include information
and contextual
information on
artist/bands new
releases or
upcoming artists.
9. Question 8
The majority of the
people that
completed my survey
said that they
preferred a spacious
layout ect. I will use
this and make my
magazine layout and
colour scheme fit
with what was the
most popular on this
survey.
10. Question 9
45.16% of people said that
they preferred a
photograph that wasn’t
taken in a studio with no
artificial lighting and
minimal editing. However
32.26% said they
preferred high quality shot
photographs taken in a
studio. This means that I
can experiment with both
types of photography and
way of shooting and chose
based on the other
themes within my
magazine design.
11. Question 10
There was little difference
between the amount that
said they preferred a bold
font, colourful and large
text and who said they
preferred dainty,
minimalistic, small text. I
could therefore
experiment with both and
see which one would be
more suited to the other
design components
within my magazine.
