Most of the survey respondents were 16-17 years old and from the north of the country. They listen to over 1-2 hours of music per day, mainly R&B/Pop and chart music. Most would attend a music festival but do not regularly read music magazines. Based on these findings, the magazine will focus on these music genres and artists, include interviews and information on current/upcoming musicians, and provide festival information to attract this target demographic.
2. How old are you?
Most of my respondents
were aged between 16-17
years old. This means that I
will have to make my
magazine suit the mid-teen
audience more as they are
the ones that most likely to
read my magazine.
3. Whereabouts do you live?
47% of my respondents lived
in the north east with a
further 30 being from the
north which means my
typical reader will be from
the north of the country
4. How many hours do you listen to music (per day)
Most people listen to music for more than 1-2 hours per day which means that my
readership will be very interested in music and will enjoy it.
5. How often do you read music magazines?
Most of my respondents never
read music magazines or only
read them sometimes. This
means I will have to offer
something different in my
magazine to encourage them to
read it.
6. What music genre do you like?
My respondents mainly listen to R&B/Pop and chart music and so I will orientate my
music magazine around these genres to suit their preferences.
7. Who is your favourite artist/band?
These are just a sample of the artists and bands my respondents enjoy listening to
and so I will vary the articles within my magazine to be around these artists and
artists like them to ensure my readership is getting what they enjoy.
8. What would you want in a music magazine?
From my responses I can see that people want to see interviews and facts about artists and
bands within a magazine. Also listings of new songs and the top songs right now, I will
ensure that I include lots of articles and facts about current and upcoming artists and
musicians
9. Would you attend a music festival?
95% of the people that responded to my survey said they would attend a music
festival. To cater for and encourage this I will ensure my magazine has lots of
dates, information and pictures of upcoming festivals and events.
10. Are you Male or Female?
60% of my respondents were female therefore most of my readership will be
female. I will have to ensure to use colour schemes and information on
certain artists to collaborate with this.
11. Are you influenced by music? (state below)
Most of my respondents claimed that music influenced their mood a lot and helped
them to concentrate and block people out, therefore in my magazine I will cover a
range of different styles of music to ensure that people are affected by my magazine.
