2. How old are you?
I asked this question just to gather general information about them so when I
look at the questionnaire, I can tell what the target audience will like and prefer.
Most of the people that filled out the questionnaire are at the age of 15-20
which is the target audience for my magazine. The research was useful as I am
able to compare which age likes what.
3. What is your gender?
Male- 9
Female- 11
I asked this to also gather general information and the person. By doing this I can
see what female and male prefer in a magazine. As the target audience for the
magazine is mixed gender, I needed mixed views for both. So the research was
useful and successful as there is almost an equal amount of each gender and I could
link this to my other research.
4. Do you read music magazines?
Yes- 17
No- 3
This question is relevant as I was able to see if the person answering the questionnaire
reads music magazines. From the conclusion, I can see what people like and don’t like
even if they don’t reads magazines so even though I only wanted information from
people that would buy my magazine, it was also useful to see the views of people who
wouldn’t.
5. What magazines do you read?
I asked this question as I can get ideas from the most popular read magazine
which in this case is DJmag at 8 people and Mixmag at 6 people. The research was
useful as in my production, I can use elements of these other magazine and this
question also give the ability for me to compare results like what they like from
this magazine.
6. How often do you buy a magazine?
I asked this question to see how frequent my magazine should be. From these
results, i will know to make my magazine monthly as my research shows that 7 out
of 20 people buy it monthly but the largest amount is 9 people saying every so
often. This means that putting it every month is better than it being more frequent
as my results show that people wont buy it that often.
7. How much would you be willing to pay
for a DJ magazine?
I asked this question so I know what price I should make my magazine so the
audience will actually buy it. My results show that my magazine price should be
around £1-£2. this may be because the target audience for the magazine is quite
young and therefore are most likely going to be students.
8. What colours would you associate a dj
magazine with
Other
This question was asked to see what the audience will want to see if they where reading
the magazine and what colours makes it aesthetically pleasing to see. My results show that
the colour blue, black and white are the 3 top colours that associate with a DJ magazine.
However, two people said that neon colours also associate with a magazine which was put
in the ‘other’ section.
9. Which font would you most associate
a DJ magazine with?
Font -1
Font -3
Font -4
Font -3
Font -3
Font -6
Font -7
Font -5
Font -2
Font -3
This question gave me an insight to the font I should
use inside my magazine but also to make sure that it
fit to the genre of the magazine and to know what
the target audience will want to see. The results show
that the most popular fonts where Eras Demi ITC with
7 and Goudy Old Style with 6.
10. Do you buy cd’s?
Yes-18
No-2
This is relevant as I can tell if people buy cd’s so I can give them out as an incentive
which will pull the target audience in. the results show that 18 out of 20 do buy cd’s
so have cd players so i have come to the conclusion that I will use them as an
incentive in my production.
11. Which do you prefer to see in a music
magazine?
This question was asked to let me know what people like in a music magazine. The
results show that 10 out of 20 people like half and half writing/images. This gives me
and indication of how many images I need to put in compared to writing. I will also
take into account the other results as 5 out of 20 people chose mainly images wereas 2 out of 20 said mainly writing which tells me that that people would rather see
images to look at.
12. What regular content would you most
like to see?
This gave me an indication to what should put on my contents page or include in
my article. The results show that most people like posters or eye candy. This is
due but very little liked puzzles. The others varied. This may be due to the people
that I selected for the questionnaire however the difference between the results
lets me know what I should put in my magazine to please the target audience.
13. What features would you most like to
see?
This question would also help me choose what will go in my contents page as it
indicates what the target audience like. The results show that interview are most
popular however the others aren't far behind and none are particularly low and
therefore shows that all of them will be included in my magazine. To make the
question better, I could of added a ‘other’ option to get an idea of what other
features they would like to see.

relates and fits to the target audience.
15. Would you like to read about
new/unsigned artists
Yes-19
No-1
This question is useful as I know what to include in my magazine and that is why I
asked the question. The results show that 19 out of 20 people would like to read
about unsigned people which is a large majority. That mean that in my magazine, I will
include unsigned artist articles.
