2. I wanted to find out the type of music
magazine’s the target audience will prefer to
see and would purchase. So I did a survey
online because it was easier to get around
different age groups and also because I could
collect my results easier.
I also received 56 responses which made it
reliable and easier to see what people mostly
prefer.

3. I asked general questions about gender and age because the people
answering remain anonymous, so by asking this allowed me to find
out a but about the people answering my survey
I found out that the majority of
people who answered my survey
where females so most my results
will be more from a female
perception, however there was 34%
males who answered which can still
even it out slightly .
The majority of people who
answered my survey where
students aged 16-18 which
was a good sign to see as
this is my target audience.
So the feedback will be
useful because I can see
what appeals so them most
in a music magazine.

4. I also decided to ask if the people
answering my questionnaire read
magazines. It was evenly balanced
out showing that around 50% of
people don’t read and 50% do read.
It was also interesting to see that
50% of those who answered don’t
read magazine -so this is also useful
because it allows me to see what
would make them purchase
magazines.
For those who do already read
magazines I wanted to find out
what type of magazines they are
into reading so it would allow me
to see what elements I could add
to mine that is similar to their
chosen magazines.
Most of these responses where OK, heat and magazine with Gossip. However there
was also some kerrang and football related magazines added. So I could include
some of the celebrity gossip in my double page spread that will be on an artist.

5. I also then asked what genre of
music they would buy a magazine of.
I decided not to add in an ‘other’
option as it would leave it too open
and there may not have been a
consistent answer to help me chose
the genre. The top 2 choses were
ROCK- Which I would not do as I
don’t listen to that genre of
music, and R’N’B this is in my
comfort zone and I know a lot about
I then wanted the audience to generally think of it which makes it more fun for me to
their chosen genre and what colour reflects it. do. colour scheme would you prefer to see for your
6.What
chosen Genre? (pick three)
This would then give me ideas of possible
number of people who picked
colour schemes.
The popular 3 where: Black red and White-
however some may have chosen the colours
based on their favourite colour.
Colour choices
Though the box did not get as much responses, the responses given where
useful. The majority of responses said Gold which does reflect Rnb genre – I had not
thought of this so it did help me.

6. The purpose of question 7 was
to find out what appeals to
people in a magazine. So it
would give me ideas of what
also to include in my magazine
The amount of times the items where ranked as number 1 for appealing to
I then asked the audience to Rank 1-6 ( 1 the audience in a magazine
being the best) What appeals to them
most in a magazine. The pie chart shows
how many times the items where voted
as number 1 only. This showed me what
appeals to people the most in a
magazine and what they like to see. So
from this I gathered that interviews and
latest gossip are what people read
magazines for- as they where voted 1 the
most amount of times.

7. This question was to help me
find out what type of pictures
the audience may like to see
in magazines. I found out that
celebrity was the main
attraction in magazines.
If I was to produce a magazine
including a free-bee I wanted to find
out what would appeal to the general
public. Headphones was a clear winner
Finally I asked the audience what
price they would pay for a magazine
so I had a reasonable price for my
magazine. The most vote was £2
this could be because it is the
cheapest or most affordable.

8. Overall my survey gave me basic ideas of what to include in my own
magazine.
I have decided to do the genre Rnb as it was voted mostly by the public
and also because I feel comfortable and excited to do It.
My target audience is male and females aged 15- 20
My pictures will portray some type of celebrity in my chosen genre of
music.
I will have an interview of one of my chosen artists and it will include
some gossip about them however still keep the main content music
related.
