(Pilot Questionnaire)
2. 1) Which title do you think suits best for my pop magazine?
ALLPOP!
POPWORLD.
TEENPOPS!
GIRLPOP
TOPpop
At the moment, it seems
‘POPWORLD.’ is the most
popular title for my pop
magazine, while no one
has yet chose ‘GIRLPOP’
(therefore, it is less likely that
this title is going to be the
name of my product).

Purple, pink and white

Half of the 10 responders
have chosen purple, pink
and white as my main
colour scheme. Although,
the three results are still
quite close so there is still a
possibility that either of
one of them could be the
most popular in the end.

magazines, so they would all work
and relate to my target audience...
4. 3) Which existing pop magazine are you most likely to read?
TOP of the POPS
WElovePOP.
Other
None
‘TOP of the POPS’ and
the ‘other’ choice are
drawing with the same
results, while
‘WElovePOP.’ magazine
and ‘none’ choice are
equal with the least

5. 4) Who is your favourite BAND, out of
the choices given?
The Vamps
One Direction
Little Mix
The Saturdays
The Saturdays are twice as
popular than the other
three choices which are
equal with one another.
There is no huge difference.

There are very close answers,

6. 5) What should the double page spread, within my pop magazine, be
about?
An interview with an artist
Photos of celebrities being
exposed
Access with a band
Gossip about a particular
artist or event
Currently, the majority of
people from my target
audience want my double
page spread to be about an
interview with a particular
artist. However, the results
from the other choices may
catch up...

7. 6) Who should be the main focal image on my front cover?
A female
A male
A boyband
A girlband
A female, at the
moment, is the most
popular decision as my
main focal image, and
half of this result with ‘a
male’. A focal image of a
group is not as well-liked
with my target audience
presently.

8. 7) Approximately, how many images would you expect to see on a
pop magazine front cover?
4
5
6
Or more
Many have decided
that my pop magazine
should have around 5
images on the front
cover. I have to take
into account that I may
not need anymore
images than 5, due to
the lack of results with
‘6’ or ‘more’.

There are a range of

choices, therefore, this
shows that I do need to
collect more answers.
This is for more
certainty for the best
possible answer as a
whole.

£2 - £2.50
£2.50 - £3
£3 - £3.50
£3.50 - £4
Close results in
comparison with one
another, however, I
believe the £2 - £2.50 is
the most popular
choice only because it
is the cheapest (I’ve got
to keep in mind that
most existing
magazines nowadays
cost slightly more of
£2.99 - £3.99).

11. 10) Would you prefer formal language within the double page
spread, or informal colloquial language?
Formal
Informal (colloquial language)
It’s fifty-fifty with the double page
spread containing formal or
informal language text. This
conveys that I need to collect more
results for a secure answer.
This also depends with what the
audience had chosen in question
5, of what the double page spread
should be about (e.g. If they chose
an interview, it will most likely be
formal. On the other hand, if they
decided on ‘gossip about a
particular celebrity’, it might be
informal).

12. 11) Which shot type do you prefer to be on the magazine cover, as
the main focal image?
Medium Close-Up
Medium Shot
Medium Long Shot
Long Shot
This was a little surprising for
me as I, at first, wanted my
main focal image to be a
medium shot, however, my
target audience want
currently a medium long
shot instead. This shows that
my audience research is
helping me to decide on what
my audience want best out of
my magazine.
