3. The majority of the people in my survey
either said yes or probably. This is very good
for my magazine as it being attractive is a
very important factor. The magazine needs to
jump out at the audience from the shelf and
attract the readers attention from the start
because if it doesn’t they wont even pick it
up, let alone buy it.
5. The majority of the people said 13-17 with 12
and under being the next category down.
This is then something I may need to improve on
if I were to do it again. With the age range being
16-25 I may have captured too much of the
younger audience and not put in as many factors
for the 18+ readers.
Also however, I feel that if the complete
magazine were to be made, the target audience
may be reached as all the sections for them
would be in there such as all the informative
articles, based more as a newspaper than an
adolescent magazine.
7. 74 percent of people said yes in this survey, which
is a positive outcome. My magazine however has
no real genre, so the other 26 percent saying no
can also be seen as an upside. I set the Hip-hop
and R&B genre to grasp that type of audience but
not completely base it on that kind of music.
However, most of the music that I have featured in
my magazine is from an urban background so that
sort of urban, Hip-hop, R&B music is used in my
magazine as a general basis for the
music, therefore being seen as the genre for the
magazine.
9. The majority of the people i asked said the image
on my cover page drew the most attention.
This is very important as this was also the
aim, mainly because this is what is advertising
the main artist in the magazine, with this being
the unique selling point, it is vital that it is
portrayed well to the audience.
I tried to do this in many ways, two of them
being that I made the image look playful and fun
and also I had the artist looking over his shoulder
to make sure he maintained eye contact with the
audience, drawing them in, making them feel
involved and selling the magazine.
