male female
From my results I got a near even split of both female and male responses, with 9 males and
11 females. I surveyed a range of people, this means that my magazine should appeal to
both genders.

16-20 21-25 26-30 31-35 35+
My results show that the magazine appeals to younger people. Between the ages of 16-25
(18 16-20 and 2 21-25) So the magazine needs to feature things for this age group, and
should be informal. Originally I planned to have the target audience ranging to 35, but now
it’s best to range it down from 16-25.

Kings of leon Oasis Kasabian Biffy Clyro Foo Fighters
The results show that Kings of Leon is the preferred band from a given choice of 5 bands.
With this information I know it’s important to show more content from bands with a similar
style, rather than content from bands like Oasis who got the least amount of votes.
On average, how many music
magazines do you buy monthly?

None One - two Three - Four More
When asked, the majority of people claimed that they didn’t buy monthly magazines, this
means there is an opportunity to produce something that suites them more than what is
already being produced. It means there is a gap in the market that I should aim to fill.
3. From the listed, what is your least
preferred band?

Kings of Oasis Kasabian Biffy Clyro Foo Fighters
Leon
When I asked people who they least liked out of the bands I have previously mentioned. This
time Kings of Leon didn’t get a single vote, once again showing that this type of music should
be a regular feature and yet again Oasis proved to be the least popular, show my magazine
should try to avoid these styles of band.

Oasis Kings of Leon
I asked people who they prefer, the lead singer of Kings of Leon, or the lead singer if Oasis.
Once again Kings of Leon won by a long shot, so this once again shows Oasis should be
avoided, and bands like Kings of Leon (American Alternate rock) Might be more appealing.

Florence Paramore
I then asked the question of ‘preferred female singer’ 7 people voted for Florence and the
Machine, whilst 13 voted for Paramore. This backs up what I analyzed about my previous
question, that American Rock seems to be preferred. Although, unlike the last question this
one was a lot more evenly split. So my magazine might be best suited feature both female
styled singers. What is your favourite decade for
music?

60's 70's 80's 90's 00's
My results show that the most popular eras were the 00’s followed by the 90’s. So modern
rock will be the best option for my magazine, I would also place bands from the present day
and rising bands.

From these results I can see it’s a very even split between all three options, so my magazine must
include a list of up coming bands along with information on tour dates for established bands and
monthly prizes

Guitar Drums
More of our readers would like to learn the guitar over the drums, but at the same time a
large percentage chose drums. Knowing this my magazine should feature information on
learning these instruments, along with people and places to contact on lessons and other
things.

Guitar Drums
These results tell me that the general audience prefer drums than guitars, so I could add
information about drummers, types of drums and interviews with drummers from bands.
