The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about music preferences and magazine interests. The questionnaire was completed by a diverse group of different ages, genders, and races. Most respondents enjoyed rap or R&B music and preferred magazines with dull colors, many pictures, and celebrity interviews. As a result, the creator will make a magazine about rap and R&B music targeted towards students, with facts about celebrities, posters, and a reasonable price.

2. Research Process
For my magazine research I created a questionnaire about peoples music
preferences. This questionnaire applied to all different age groups and both sex’s
and all races, it was quite a diverse questionnaire.
The reason I chose to make my questionnaire applicable to everyone was because
I wanted an idea of what age and gender people were and what music genre
magazine they like to read about. The questions in my magazine were all closed
questions with a variety of difference answers they could pick from.
I had created my questionnaire on survey monkey I sent out my questionnaire to a
variety of different people at the bluecoat academy, I sent it out to a variety of
people so I was getting a different variety of results, and so that I had a better idea
of what kind of music magazines people prefer to read.
The results I got were from a mixture of both genders and they all either liked rap
or R’n’B music, and liked quite dull colours with a lot of pictures and interviews, so
this is what I shall be including in my magazine.

3. Questionnaire Analysis
In this chart it asks the
question whether or not
people read magazines or
not. This is the first question
because if people do not
read magazines there is no
point of them continuing the
questionnaire because it is
not applicable for them.
This question was asking the
age of the person doing the
questionnaire, the age was a
concern because the context
of the magazine has to be
appropriate for that age group
and recent meaning it includes
artist they like and listen to
regularly, not other artists in
this genre who's audience is
older people.
This question asks the
gender of the person
because different genders
prefer listening to different
music genres and if they do
listen to the same music
genres they listen to different
artist e.g. most girls who
listen to R’n’B listen to trey
Songz whereas boys don’t
listen to trey Songz they’d
prefer Chris Brown.

4. Questionnaire Analysis
This question asks the genre
of music they prefer this is
because I wanted to make a
magazine for a genre that
people would actually buy a
magazine for and here the
results show that R’n’B and
Rap music are the most
popular genres, that’s what
my questionnaire shows
therefore I will be producing
a magazine based on this.
Here it shows the colour
preferences people prefer in
magazine the three main
colours here and black white
and red, these are associated
with these genres because is
quite a dull genre therefore
black and white with a bit of a
shock, which is the red, red is
chosen because red is the
colour of love, and some
R’n’B music is based on ‘love’
I asked the occupation of
people because from this I am
able to see the work position
of a student which will help
chose a price for my
magazine since the majority of
people who did my
questionnaire are students my
magazine will be reasonably
priced for students because
the most of them don’t have
money to waste.

5. Questionnaire Analysis
Most people wanted facts
about celebrities, music
charts and posters in the
magazine, these three
choices of what should be in
the magazine shows that my
audience are of a young age
that would prefer more
picture and facts then
articles and stories about
celebrities and artists.
This question is asking whether
the would like a feature artist on
the front cover, most people
said they don’t mind if their is a
feature artist on the front cover
but then another popular option
was to have a feature artist on
the front cover, I will be having
a feature artist on the front
cover because the celebrity on
the front page is hat catches
peoples eyes.
I asked the occupation of
people because from this I am
able to see the work position
of a student which will help
chose a price for my
magazine since the majority of
people who did my
questionnaire are students my
magazine will be reasonably
priced for students because
the most of them don’t have
money to waste.

6. Conclusion…
The understanding I got from my results is that they were all school students and a
mixture of males and females who enjoyed listening to R’n’B and Rap music. From
this information that I have collected I will be creating a magazine to the opinions and
choices of those people who have answered my questionnaire, these students are
the target audience for my magazine.
My magazine will contain facts about celebrities and also posters of famous
celebrities within this music genre. It will also include a freebie and will be reasonably
priced for school students to buy with their money.
I am happy with my findings because it is a mixture of two different music genres I
will be creating this magazine for, I will be mixing to different genres together so I
have a wider target audience of who will be purchasing the magazine, also because
these two genres, R’n’B and Rap are both genres that link together and artist within
these genres do a lot of collaborations together and do music for both these two
different genres.
