The survey results showed that females aged 15-25 who liked R&B would be the target audience for a new music magazine. While most respondents knew what R&B music was, only half liked it. Popular R&B artists included Rihanna, Beyonce, and Drake. 30% of the target audience currently reads music magazines, primarily attracted by the front cover artist and bold, eye-catching colors and photos. Bold colors like blue, red and green were preferred over bright colors for the magazine cover to attract buyers.

1. R&B Survey
I put a survey on to facebook about R&B and also magazines in generall and
here are my results

2. Q1&2
Q1
1. What is your gender?
Female
Male
Q2
2. How old are you?
10-15
15-20
20-25
25-30
30-35
35-40
40-45
45-50
50+
These were the first two questions I asked.
The top result was Females aged 15-25
liked R&B. This will be who I aim my
magazine at.

3. Q3&4
Q3
3. Do you know what R&B music is?
yes
no
Q4
4. Do you like it?
Yes
No
I then asked whether they knew what it is and
whether they liked it. The results were that
100% of the people knew what it was but only
50% liked it.

4. Q5
I then asked what kind of artists they think of when they hear the words R&B?These
are the kind of answers they came up with:
Rihanna Jay-z
beyonce rihanna
Bob Marley
whitney houston , rihanna, ..
Rihanna
Rhianna, Drake, Robbie&Bonnie,
Tinie Tepah, Sean Paul, Chris Brown, Rudimental
Otis Redding, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Etta James,
Marvin Gaye, Frank Ocean, Stevie Wonder, Al Green.
This shows me the kind of artists, that the people the magazine will be aimed at, listen to and
know. So that when producing my front cover I can look at some of the styles these people
take on.

5. Q6&7
I asked people whether they do read music magazines and 30% said yes and 70%
said no. Interestingly the all the people who said they did read music magazines were
in my 15-25 year audience age.
Also I asked: What attracts them to buy magazines? These were the answers I got:
the artist on the front cover
front cover: stand out colours; good, clear, exciting photos making the genre clear artists
appearing in it
Topic
contents,
Who's on the cover
Whether the content interests me.
Good photos
A lot of the answers are to do with the front cover and whether the artist appeals them
and things like that so I will pay close attention to what I put on the front cover.

6. Q8
I then finally asked what kind of colours would attract someone to buy a magazine,
the options I gave and results were
●
Bright colours- 30%
●
Bold Colours- 60%
●
Dark Colours- 20%
●
Random Colours-20%
●
Matching Colours-40%
This shows that people would rather look at Bold colours, which I would consider as
Blue, Red, Green e.t.c, as opposed to bright colours
