6. I conducted a questionnaire to gain ideas for my music
magazine, and I gave my questionnaire to my suitable target
audience, which helped me gain positive feedback, as I
expected them all to have a kind of relationship with the music
genre that I am currently doing; hip-hop. I got ideas of how to
build up my magazine such as the strapline and the colour
schemes I also used variety of questions such as qualitative and
quantitative questions. I also got ideas about how they feel
about the music Hip Hop, which will help me in my conclusion.
My questionnaire also helped me gain ideas of what colours to
use for my magazine front cover and also gave me ideas of
what people within the Hip Hop culture think of it as a genre.
Their responses to my questionnaire helped me make my
decision and informed me on my project, by choosing similar
ideas to my ideas. I also got ideas of how often people read Hip
Hop magazines to gain ideas of their knowledge about the Hip
Hop genre.
