1. Audience Research- Results & Conclusions
I decided against giving multiple choices to the question as there are many sub genres of music so I
couldn’t possibly cover all. This would mean I should get a more honest, accurate answer from the
participant. From the graph, it’s clear to see that rock is the most occurring genre from the
questionnaire however; in “other” is the sub genre’s that people have mentioned for example
“Psychedelic rock.I would like to think my answers are very reliable which makes the results valid.
I gave the participants a choice of three major music magazine names with a picture of one of their
covers that I had looked at in detail for them to pick their person preference. From the graph, it’s
clear to see that Rolling Stone is the favourite with Q following closely behind. I will look at Q and
look at what they are doing well and get some ideas.

2. I gave several colours that are commonly seen on a magazine and then gave the option of other if
the participant could think of any other colours they would prefer to see. The majority said red and
followed by black. There were many votes in other which included yellow as a commonly voted
colour. I will include these in my magazine.

I left a blank space for the participant to write what they would call their magazine. The majority
of the people called it all the different names which is why others is so largely populated. Also, a
lot of people left the question blank. However, 2 people would call it music. I have a name for
my magazine, this is question was just to get people’s opinions.

3. I gave the participants a choice of four possible prices that I have seen on magazines that I have
studied to see what they would like to pay. The majority said £2.50 so I have decided to go on with
what the said and priced my music magazine £2.50 as that is what the audience will pay.
I asked the participants what type of articles they would like to read in the music magazine, allowing
multi choice answers. The most occurring is interviews however they all have a large number
suggesting people want all of them.

4. I gave the participant a choice of 4 fonts saying ‘this one’ and asked them to pick their favourite. The
majority said ’28 days later’ and I have looked at fonts which have a similar look to input into my
magazine.
I left a blank line and asked if they took regular interest into music to see if the magazine would even
appeal to them. The majority saying yes and only 1 said no. This means that I would have a decent
audience for my magazine.

5. I put two lines so the participant could put up to two artists if they wished. Only twice did two
people put the same artist, the rest were different individual choice.
I allowed people to tick as many as they wanted, if they wanted to put more than one. The most
popular was a free cd.
