1. Music Magazine
Questionnaire Analysis
By Ellis Tobin

2. 1) What Gender are you?
I gave my questionnaire to 60% and 40% females because this is the
gender ratio I would like for my music magazine.

3. 2) Preferred music genre?
This chart shows the most preferred genre of music is Rock with 50% of the
votes and Indie being the second highest with 20%. Rap, metal and pop also
were preferred genres while no one was interested in electronic music.

4. 3)Which music magazines do
you read?
When looking at my results I found 60%of respondents do not read
any of the music magazine choices however each magazine given did receive
10% of the overall response

5. 4)Which of the following titles
(Mastheads) do you prefer?
The results show the masthead Unplugged was the most preferred with it
having 40% of the overall vote with Soundwave, Uproar and Amped gaining
20% of the vote each.
Alt did not have a single vote which shows the masthead is very unpopular
with the audience.

6. 5)Which of the following
slogans do you prefer?
The majority of my respondents preferred the slogan “Sounds of a generation”
as it had 60% of the vote. “Back to bassics” was also well received with 30%
with “The birthplace of legends” gaining 10%.
“Ready, set, rock” did not have a single response.

7. 6)Do you access other media platforms
associated with music magazines e.g.
website of magazine?
60% of all my respondents have said they do access other media platforms
Associated with music magazines while 40% say they have not done so.

8. 7)Which of the following images would you
like to see on the front of a music
magazine?
When looking at my results I found that having a mixed artist on the front cover
gained 50% of the vote while male band and artist both gained 20% showing
they are still popular.
Female artist gained 10% while female band did not have a single response.

9. 8) How much would you pay
for a magazine
The vast majority of respondents (70%) would pay £2.01-£3 for a magazine.
All the other price ranges each gained 10% each. This shows if the magazine
was to sell it would need to be cheaply priced.

10. 9)Which of the following sections from a magazine
contents page would encourage you to read it?
I have found 70% of my respondents would prefer to read an interview with an
artist if the article is seen on the contents page. This shows I should highlight
the fact the magazine will contain interviews as more people are more likely to
read the magazine. Reviews of albums also had a good response with 30% of
the votes.
While features on current artists was at 10% and the editors letter and other
had no votes whatsoever.

11. 9)What types of articles do you prefer to read in a
music magazine?
When looking at the data gathered I found that 1st person interviews, reviews,
information about the history of band/artist all had a 30% split while 3rd
person reviews had 10%.
