1. Age

10%
I have found that the target
audience is around the ages of 16-19
however this is biased as most of the
questionnaires were handed out
around college. When my magazine
is finished I should get feedback
from an old audience about the
articles so it’s fair.

2. Gender

I found that there was an
equal split of males and
females that answered my
questionnaire. With this
information I must make
sure I put in content that
will please both male and
female readers.

3. Favourite Colour
10
The most popular answer was
red so I have decided to use red
in my colour scheme and the
other answers didn’t have any
other colours that were very
popular so I am just going to
choose 2 other colours to use.

4. What music magazines do you read
regularly?
10
I also found that just over half the
people who took my questionnaire
read a music magazine regularly.
My plan is to make my magazine
cheaper than NME and Kerrang as
they were the 2 most popular
magazines read regularly.

5. How often do you buy a music magazine?
I found that most people never or rarely buy a music magazine so I
ignored those results and the amount of people that read them weekly
and monthly is equal so I have decided to publish my magazine weekly.
Also this makes it more recent so the reader can find out news about
tours or albums within the week it was announced.

6. How much would you be willing to spend
on a music magazine?
10
I have found out that only two
people are willing to spend over £3
on a music magazine and nearly half
would be willing to spend under £2
even though this is the same number
of people that have said they never
read music magazines I have decided
to charge under £2 for my magazine
as it is coming out weekly so people
may not be able or willing to spend
£3 a week as it would come £12 a
month.

I found that there’s a large range of people’s favourite
punk band and there isn’t one most popular so I should
try and feature as many different bands as possible.
8. On a scale of 1-5 where 1 is not important and 5 is very
important how would you rate the following aspects of a
magazine?
10
This data shows that
pictures are the most
important thing people like
to see featured followed by
interviews so I should
feature as many pictures and
interviews as possible.

Noise, Drugs and Loud
were the 3 most popular
words that people
answered this question
with. I was already going
to call my magazine noise
so it’s good that a large
amount of people
associate this word with
punk.
