2. Question 1:
This question was used to identify my target
audiences age and to make sure that my target
audience was reached. I wanted to base my
magazine on 16-18 year olds as I believe these are
the ages that I have the most knowledge about,
however it would still suit the audience with ages
up to 20. I've also thought that my music
magazine will reach audiences with ages up to 22
however I haven’t gotten any results from these
ages so I just decided to keep it from ages16 to 20.
3. Question 2:
This question was used to identify the music genre
that my target audience is into so that if they will
be my target audience I will make sure that my
magazine will include the music genre that they
enjoy. From this I have made my choice to base
my magazine mainly on the rap genre specially on
my front cover to grab my target audiences
attention. Although I will also try to include a
variety of music types by including music genres
like ‘Pop’ and ‘Dub step’ in my contents page with
images as well as on the double page spread.
4. Question 3:
Although researching music magazines gave me
some knowledge on how musicians are portrayed
I’m still not entirely sure how I would present them
within the pictures of my music magazine,
therefore this question will allow me to identify
how my target audiences sees or believes
musicians look like. I really feel like this question is
very vital for my research when creating a music
magazine because it is a part of my front cover
which I believe is very important and gives an
image of the music magazine, if the audience does
not get attracted by the front cover then its very
likely that they will not buy the magazine. This will
also help me build up and structure my images
within the music magazine.
5. Question 4:
This question was used to categorize my contents
page towards my target audience. From my results
from this questions I have learned that my target
audience would mostly prefer content of a top 10
list which ill keep in mind, I will also try to make a
picture just for the top 10 list for people to identify
it if they do not find it in the contents page, the
picture will be eye catching for them to know that
possibly their favorite content is in this magazine.
Also because the results from this questions were
fairly similar I might think about adding these
pictures from the other contents as well, if I choose
so.
6. Question 5:
This question will simply give me a better
understanding of how much my target audience is
willing to pay for a music magazine. It will also
help me decide a more sensible price when
declaring it in the front cover of my music
magazine. Therefore from these results I have
noticed that most people are willing to pay 2-3
pounds which gives me the indication to list my
magazine for about 3 pounds.
7. Question 6:
This question helped me to figure out the structure
and length of my contents page, now that I know
my target audience prefers for the magazine to
stay fairly short I may be able to fit the contents
onto one page and on the other give some
additional information as well as a huge image.
Also because I wont have to include as much
contents I may think about giving the contents
some additional description.
8. Question 7:
This question helped me again to understand the
structure of my magazine a bit more towards the
mast head, titles and subheadings. 90% of the
people that took this survey believe that changing
up the font within each different page/content
makes it more interesting which gives me a hint
that I might need a wide variety of fonts to choose
from as well as coloring and designs.
