1. How do you find out about
new music? I don't
What house style colour
scheme would you prefer?
social networking
Red, White and
Black
sound cloud
Itunes
White, Black and
Gold
Radio
From friends
Purple, White and
Gold
Spotify
Youtube
The survey results show that YouTube and social interaction
(through friends) are the most popular ways of finding out about
new music. I will ensure that my magazine informs readers about
these ways by adding YouTube links and social networking pages
that they can follow so they can find out about new music even
quicker, it also causes publicity for my magazine as by doing this
it can achieve many followers.
How much would you pay
for a music magazine?
The majority of people said they would prefer the colour house
style to be red, black and white. The black and red suit the
characteristics of the type of music artists that will feature in the
music magazine and also the characteristics of the target
audience, for example red connoting danger may resemble the
stereotypical rebellion of the target audience.
What most appeals you to
purchase a music magazine?
Information on new
music/festivals/artists
etc
£1-£3
The images featured
£3.50-£5
£5.50-£7
Freebies (e.g.
posters, tickets, CD)
£7.50+
The data results show that the majority of the target audience
would pay £1-£3 for a music magazine. This is due to the fact that
most of them have very little money due to them living a student
lifestyle and paying for their education. The magazine will be
made so that it is an affordable for the audience and good value
for money.
Half of the audience that answered the questionnaire agreed that
the most appealing part of a magazine was the information given
about up and coming artists, new music and festivals etc. This
means I will have to ensure my magazine includes this
information. A large percentage also agreed that free giveaways
are important; I could put the two together advertising a music
festival/artists tour whilst giving away tickets for the event.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this survey has helped me gain better knowledge and understanding of
the audiences’ needs and identification. When producing my final product I will ensure
to include the results that I have concluded in each paragraph. It is essential for me to
include this as otherwise my music magazine may be unsuccessful and not attract my
target audience.
