I constructed a 25-person questionnaire and asked people in the ages of 11-18 to fill it in. This enabled me to gather vital information for the process of my music magazine.

1. Collaborating data
Victoria Perry

2. What genre of music are you
interested in?
Male Data
I gave a questionnaire out to my target audience to gather information for my magazine.
This bar chart shows the information I gathered from interviewing males aged 12-18.
The data shows that rock and pop music were the most popular genres of music for
males to listen to. I could use this data when creating my own magazine by basing my
magazine genre around rock or pop.

I asked the same question to the female target audience. This chart shows that
females are dominantly interested in pop music and not so much rock music compared
to the males. This information was useful as before the questionnaire I started a mood
board where my primary audience for my magazine was going to be female teenagers
and the genre of the magazine was pop. This bar chart shows how female teenagers
are generally interested in pop music, therefore my music magazine would be of
interest to them.

4. When reading a music magazine what
types of articles are you attracted to?
When reading a music magazine what type of articles
are you attracted to?
Interviews
Celebrity/artist gossip
Currnet News
Music reviews
This data is for the males I asked. The chart shows how ‘music reviews’ was the
most popular feature that males are attracted to in a music magazine. However
there could be a problem with the questionnaire data as sometimes people don’t
have the time or are not interested in the survey therefore decide to tick random
boxes or answer the questions in any way. This could mean the data wasn’t
sufficient and is unreliable.

5. When reading a music magazine what
types of articles are you attracted to?
When reading a music magazine what type of articles
attract you?
Music Reviews
Interviews
Celebrity gossip
Current News
Again like with the other questions I analysed the answers from the
female gender as well. The more popular answer this time was
‘Celebrity Gossip’ which stereotypically would be the more
common choice in females. This information made me think about
the articles I am going to include in my own magazine. Including an
article about a celebrity would be suitable as the evidence is in the
questionnaire.

6. Which name do you think would be
most appropriate and attractive for a
music magazine?
Tune
Beats
Bass
Tempo
Sensation
Fusion
For this question I analysed the female and male data together as I thought I would
be able to get a more detailed answer which in result would help me to decide on a
better name for my magazine. By far, ‘Fusion’ was the most popular choice for the
magazine name. However a problem with this data might be that I didn’t give an
option of the reader to suggest their own ideas for a magazine name, therefore the
person who answered the questionnaire might of just ticked the option at first
glance and in reality they didn’t actually like the options I gave.

7. A tally chart to show the preferred
price of a music magazine.
£1- £1.50 £1.50- £2 £2-£3 £3 +
II IIIIIIIII IIIIII IIIIIIIII
The tally chart shows a range of prices that you could pay for a music magazine.
From looking at the results of my questionnaire, people were willing to pay £3 or more
for a music magazine. This is useful, as my magazine could be highly priced, however
if you were paying £3 or more for a magazine you would want it to include a lot of
content and information for the price. This allowed me to realise that I should make
my magazine front cover or contents page full with information and detail about the
content and articles inside. Therefore people would see a brief indication of the inside
content and be more attracted to paying more for the magazine.
