1. 5. HOW DID YOU
ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR
AUDIENCE?
Survey Analysis of Audience
Feedback

2. When asking the first question I allowed
my target audience to pick multiple
answers, with the majority deciding the
genre of my music magazine is pop, just
from looking at the front cover. This
could be because of the title of the
magazine ‘ULTRA POP’ or because of the
music artists mentioned who are
associated with the genre, a typical
convention on music magazine front
covers. The image of the model could
also suggest the genre of pop, because
of her styling and happy and friendly
facial expression/direct mode of address.
In this question I asked my
audience about suitability of
the typography of my
magazine title, 93% of 15
people said that Bauhaus 93
font for ULTRA POP was
suitable and attractable.

3. I also asked my audience what
the title of ULTRA POP
connotes to them as, allowing
multiple choices with the
majority of the audience
answering that it suggests
bubbly and lots of fun which
was what I set out for the title
to achieve, and qualities that
would appeal to the audience.
On my front cover, the biggest
cover line ‘EXCLUSIVE! Interview
with break-out star KATY BROOKS’
relates to the cover image/main
story, showing a typical convention
of a magazine front cover, 87% of
my audience agreed with that cover
line relating to the cover
image, however a small proportion
did not, suggesting that it may not
be perfectly clear, and as an
improvement I could show more
variation in sizes and positioning of
cover lines.

4. Legibility of text in music
magazines is important, especially
on the contents page, so the
audience can easily read and be
directed to what’s on what page, I
used magazine conventions such
as sub-headings, page
numbers, and the layout of images
on the left and text on the right for
my audience to easily glance round
the page. 100% of my audience for
this survey, said that the contents
page text is legible to read.
The majority of music magazine
contents pages have a wide
variety of studio and live shots.
In my magazine I used two live
shots and two studio/beauty
shots for an equal balance and
to appeal to the audience, I also
made use of long shots and
medium shots. In reply to this
question, my audience said that
there is a wide range of photos
used, with 100% agreeing.

5. From asking my audience to
look at my double page
spread, 93% answered that the
layout is appealing to eye, with
7% answering that they were
unsure, and perhaps the layout
could do with adjustment, this
suggests that perhaps as an
improvement I need to move
some features around for a
more abstract feel.
I asked my audience if they felt that
my double page spread had a suitable
colour scheme, colour schemes usually
consisting of three to four colours in
music magazines, and the majority of
my audience agreed that the colour
scheme of dark pinks and black is
appropriate for the genre (country
pop) of the interview. 7% of my
audience, however, said that perhaps
different colours could be used, with
one member saying that shades of
brown would also be appropriate.

6. The model/character is important
in a music magazine, as they have
to appeal to the audience, the
majority, 93%, of my audience said
that the model is appropriate and
suitable for a young female
country pop star.
For the last question of my
survey, I asked the audience
which gender they thought
ULTRA POP primarily aims
at, and 100% responded mostly
females, which is accurate, as I
intended for my pop magazine
to primarily aim at a female
audience.
