analysis of music magazine questionnaire

1. Analysis of
questionnaire
The majority of people that filled out my questionnaire were female. This
means my magazine will have more stereotypical female colours such as pink
and purple and the magazine will either be on famous women who a female
might look up to or a male who could be seen as a sex symbol to women.

2. The conclusive result
is that the majority of
people were 11-20
which means they will
be mainly teenagers.
This means my
magazine will feature
younger musicians as
this will attract a
younger audience.
The colours will also
be brighter and more
vibrant to attract a
younger audience and
excite them. This was
the result I was
expecting as pop
music magazines
attract a younger
audience whereas
music such as
classical is associated
with a younger
audience.

3. The end result was mainly students although there was an even mix of other
classes. This will affect the price of my magazine as unemployed/receiving
benefits/ students will not have much money and will not buy my magazine if it
is over priced. This was the result I was expecting as a younger audience are
more likely to read music magazines for pop although due to having to pay for it
I was expecting maybe a working class audience might be reading it as they are
more likely to afford it. The stereotypes of an audience like students are brighter
colours and intriguing storylines.

4. The conclusive result is mostly British. This is what I was expecting as the music magazine was only sent
to British people as I live in the UK. This will impact my magazine as it will all need to be in English so they
understand and should focus on topics that people in England will understand.

5. The vast majority said they prefer decorative fonts. I was not expecting this result as most music
magazines have serif fonts. This will affect my magazine as with this type of font the layout must
match it. This means I will have to make sure my magazine doesn’t look too much and fits on the
page looking professional.

6. There was a 50% split
on my results on £1-£2
and £2-£3 so I will
therefore meet in the
middle with £2. As the
majority of my audience
will be students I will
make it cheaper so they
can afford it and are
therefore more likely to
buy it. This also means
that higher classes will
also buy it if it looks
professional as it is
cheap so all audiences
can afford it. I was
expecting the result to
be lower around £0-£1
as the majority vote
before hand was
students although I will
go with their choice and
as long as it looks
intriguing and
professional I am

7. The majority of people chose the colour scheme pink and black. I think this was
because the main audience who filled out the questionnaire were female. The pink
would therefore attract them. The flowers are also stereotypical to a younger female
audience which matches the previous results in the questionnaire. This might impact
me to use pinks to attract female audience as well as stereotypical objects aimed at
females such as flowers, hearts etc.

8. Most people said they would like to see my magazine once a week although it was closely followed
by monthly. I will therefore have my magazine look like it will be released very often. This will be
different if it was released monthly as I would fit more information on there to keep the reader happy
although as it is weekly I will go more in depth to fewer stories. I was expecting this result as most
magazines are released every week to keep up to date with things that are happening in
music/fashion/news/reviews/fashion.

9. The main vote was music which I was expecting as it is a pop music magazine. This will not
affect my music magazine as it is already the key topic on there. It was a conclusive result.
The topic music was followed by celebrity’s and then fashion. I think I will include celebrity’s
in as they are the people who make and sing the music. Although I will not include fashion
as I believe too many subjects will make my magazine look crowded. This was the result I
was expecting as music magazines are usually focused on topics such as music and
celebrity’s.

10. Just over half of the people chose the layout below for their favorite. After
seeing the results about font I was expecting the audience to prefer this. This
will work with the font and wont change much about my magazine apart from
the colour as having a complex colour for the background would look too
much alongside the font.
