2. What is your age?
Age 14 Age 16 Age 17
In conclusion, I have covered a range of ages
within my target audience. However, all of the
people who I gave a questionnaire to were aged
between 14-17 which means that my results are
going to be biased in favour of the lower end of
my target audience’s age range.
3. What gender are you?
Female= 94%
Male= 6%
In conclusion, when handing out my questionnaire I made
sure to give it to both genders. Furthermore, most of the
people who I gave a questionnaire to were mostly girls
which means that my results are going to be biased in favour
of most of the people reading the music magazine will be
girls.

In conclusion, there were lots of words
that people came up with that others did
not think of, so on this bar chart I have
presented the words that came up more
than once. The most popular word that
came up on the questionnaire was ‘cool’.
In addition, these words will help me in
the development of my magazine when I
try and make up the title of the magazine.

Pale Pink Light Blue Dark Blue Dark Red Dark Purple Jet black
To conclude, I asked people on the
questionnaire what their favourite colour
is, and the results that I found have been
shown in the pie chart displayed. In
addition, the two most popular colours
that people liked were light blue and dark
purple. Therefore, I will keep in mind
these colours when I come to think about
colour schemes for my magazine.

Weekly Monthly Not at all
I also asked the people filling out
the questionnaire how often they
buy magazines and the results
are shown in the bar chart.
Initially, the bar chart shows that
most of the people who filled out
the questionnaire do not read
music magazines at all. In
addition to this, because I am
creating a music magazine I will
take into account that monthly
issues are more popular that
weekly and may consider making
my magazine a monthly issue.
9. What is it that you like about the music
magazines you read?
interviews Articles N/A Colour Front cover Images
To conclude, for this question is asked what
they lie about the music magazines that they
read and the results are shown in the bar
chart. The bar chart shows that the most thing
people like in music magazines they read are
the interviews. In addition to this, I will be
sure to include and interview when creating
my music magazine.
10. What is it that you dislike about the music
magazine that you read?
too much information advertisements reviews N/A
When the layout is messy adverts too many pictures
In conclusion, for this question I asked
what the person dislikes about the music
magazines they read and the results have
been shown in the pie chart. These results
reveal that the thing most people do not
like about the music magazines that they
read is when there is too much
information. Therefore, when making my
music magazine I will not use too much
information to that it does not frustrate
the reader.

the people which price range would you
pay for a magazine in which the results
are shown in the bar chart. Moreover, the
bar chart shows that the most popular
price range people normally buy
magazines for is between £2.01-£3. In
addition to this, I will take into account
this price range because it is what most
people are willing to pay for a music
magazine.
12. If you have been to any festivals/ gigs/
concerts, please list below.
Not been to any random local gigs Katy perry Battle of the bands LIMF The 1975
In conclusion, for this question I
asked if the people taking the
questionnaire have been to any
festivals/ gigs/ concerts and the
results are shown in this pie chart.
Initially, the pie chart reveals that
the majority of people have not
been to any festivals/ gigs/
concerts. In addition to this, I will
take into account that a vast
majority of people to not go to
these events and so I can maybe
consider adding information about
what is coming up so people are
more aware and are able to go to
these events.

of people said that they do like it
when the artist/ band uses direct

spreads in which the results are

found that 100% of people who took
part in the questionnaire said that
they like the drop down quotes and a
