Karolina Kocaj collected results from a questionnaire given to the target audience for her music magazine. She analyzed the results using bar charts and pie charts. The results showed that the target audience is primarily female, between 18-25 years old, and reads music magazines monthly. They prefer the magazine to have equal images and text, be published monthly priced between £3.51-£4.50, and have a color scheme of white or black. These findings will help Karolina design a magazine that appeals to her target readership.

2. I have collected all my results and put the results to each
question on either a bar chart or a pie chart. Next to the charts
I have said why I have included each of the questions and have
made conclusions for each question. I have also said how these
results will help me with making decisions when it comes to
production of my music magazine.

3. This was the first question on my questionnaire, and it helped me to find
out which gender is interested in the magazine more. From the results of
this question I know that the majority of people who have answered my
questionnaire were female. This means that the results could be biased
and more female friendly. However this could also mean that more
women may be interested in buying the magazine, so this will help me to
think about the general look of the magazine.

This question was necessary in my questionnaire as it will help me to find out
what age range within my target audience most people that I have questioned
fall under. In this question I have covered the full age range of my target
audience. From these results I can see that most people who I have questioned
fall under the under 18 category. This means that my results are biased in favour
of people who are in the younger range of my target audience. However these
results will help me to think about the details in my magazine that will be
suitable for the younger people within my age range as they are going to be the
people who are going to buy the magazine the most often.
I have presented the results for
this question in a bar chart. So
everyone can see.

5. I have asked this question as I wanted to know if people who I have
questioned actually read music magazines, as this plays an important part in
order to know what to include in a music magazine or how it could be
made, so I can make it the best I can. From these results I can see that 80%
of people that I have questioned actually read music magazines. So they
know what the music magazine needs to include in order for them to buy it
and enjoy reading it. The opinions of these people will really help me.
I have not displayed the results on a graphs as there are only two options
which we easy to compare and understand for others.

I have asked this question as results from this question should help me decide on
the frequency of publication of my music magazine. In this question there were six
options to choose from. Which were: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, yearly
and never. I think that these have covered most of the options that could be used
for frequency of publication. From these results I can see that the biggest chunk of
people who have answered my questionnaire buy music magazines monthly and the
least amount of people buy music magazines bi-monthly. Through these results I can
now decide that the frequency of publication of my music magazine will most likely
be monthly, as this is what suits my target audience the most.
Here I have displayed my results as a
pie chart, as it clearly shows all my
results along with the percentages.
These help me with my conclusions.

decide on the price of my music magazine. In this question I have included a range
of different prices that are suitable for a music magazine. From these results I can
see that most people are willing to pay between £3.51 and £4.50 for the music
magazine. And no one was willing to pay above £4.51 which I now know that I’m not
going to make the price of my music magazine above that. Through these results the
decisions that I’m going to make about the price of my music magazine will fall
somewhere between £3.51 and £4.50 as this is what my target audience is willing to
pay for the music magazine.

the genre that my music magazine is going to be. However I have also included
space for people to write down the colour that they feel is suitable but I have not
included to choose from. From these results I can see that the most popular colours
that people chose was white and the second popular was black. However the least
popular colour was brown which I now know I’m not going to use. On the other hand
people have also suggested colours such as gold and silver, which came under other.
Through these results I will now make decisions for the colour scheme of my music
magazine that my target audience will enjoy.

suggested that they associate with the genre is “calm” and the second most popular

“acoustic” and “instrument” which have a broad meaning. These results have
helped me to understand the way my target audience views the genres of music that
are going to be included in my music magazine. The results of this question will also
help me to decide on the different buzz words that will be included in my magazine.

hand the least popular was “Hand Shop Typography” as only 5% of people that I have

the masthead for the magazine and I know that I want the style to be similar to the
font that was the most popular. As this is what my target audience likes the most.
In this question I have researched a
few fonts that would be suitable for

magazine is going to be about.

I have asked this question as I wanted to find out what likes and dislikes my target
audience has when it comes to music magazine. By looking at the results I can see
that people that I have asked have said that the thing they like the most is having
a lot of images. So I need to make sure to include a lot of images in my music
magazine. The number one thing that people who answered my questionnaire said
that they dislike are adverts. So I need to make sure to not include adverts in my
magazine, and if I do it can’t be too many. As this will not please my target
audience.
This is the last question that I
have asked on my questionnaire.
I have presented the data that I
have collected in a bar
chart, as it clearly shows the
likes and dislikes and the
results.

18. Through collecting the results, by giving out the questionnaire to people in
my target audience. I was able to make very important decisions about what
should I include and what should I not include in my music magazine. These
results have also helped me to make decisions about what the magazine
should look like, which included things such as the colour scheme and the
masthead. The results have also helped me on deciding the price of the
magazine and the frequency of publication, which is all very important. A s I
want my music magazine to suit my target audience. All these things will help
me make suitable music magazine for my music magazine, so that they will
enjoy reading it and buy it.
