This document summarizes the responses to a questionnaire given to gather information for creating a new hip hop music magazine. Key findings include that the target audience is 14-25 year olds, more males than females answered and listen to hip hop, people prefer magazine covers with attractive main images and black or red color schemes, and content like interviews and album reviews are most popular.

the ages of 15-18

focus all aspects
around that age
range.

Furthermore
stereotypically
more males listen
to hip hop.

take this information
on board and also add
another colour which
may be red.

information that people
are more attracted to a
magazine if it has an
attractive main image.

make my main image as
attractive as possible.

6. Question 5

I can see that
different people
have different
favourite artists.
Furthermore people
like artists who are
still releasing music
and so my articles
should include
artists who are still
releasing music.

a mixed opinion on
how high the
magazine should be
priced so I will try to
make the magazine
at a reasonable price.

should include
puff promotions

these slogans as
none of these are

13. Q1:What is your Age?
Under13
14-18
19-25
26-34
35+
Through this
information I can see
there is a large range
of Hip-Hop listeners
and the majority of
people are aged
between 14-25. This
means I should aim to
appeal towards this
age range of people.

14. Q2:How much would you be willing to
spend on a music magazine
.
Under 99p
£1-£2
£3-£4
£4+
I can see from this
that there is not
really a set
number at which I
should price my
issue. But I will
price my magazine
at around £2-£3 as
this is the average
price range from
my data.

Ghost
Villain
Legion
FLAVA
Q3:What name do you think would
best suit for a Hip-Hop magazine?
From this data I can
see that the most
popular names are
‘Villain’ and ‘Ghost’.
I will not be using
these as I have
already chosen my
masthead name
which is ‘FLAVA’ as I
believe it is the best
suited name for a
hip-hop magazine.

16. Q4:What content would you like to see
in a music magazine?
Interviews
Editorials
Album Reviews
Other
From these results I can
see that people are more

in a hip-hop magazine.
Through this I will have
my own artist interview in
my magazine as I know it
will interest many people.

17. Q5:Do Puff Promotions interest you?
Yes
No
I can see from these results
that more people are
interested in puff promotions

a puff promotion in my own

be more inclined to buy the
magazine.

18. Q6:Are you male or female?
Male
Female
From these results that
more men answered
my questionnaire.
Stereotypically men
more than women
listen to hip-hop so I
will aim to create my
magazine in a way that
will appeal more to
men.

magazine?
Sales
Main Image
Masthead

the magazine. I will aim to
make my main image and
background as
aesthetically pleasing as
possible together with a
consistent colour scheme
so that I will be able to
grab the attention of many
people, making them want
to buy the magazine.

20. Q8:Who is your favourite Hip-Hop
artist
A Tribe Called
Quest
Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar
Lil Uzi Vert
Sean Paul
I can see from these
results that there is a

artists but Kanye West
is the most popular
which is excellent as his
front cover feature
issue of XXL magazine
is the issue I will be
taking inspiration from
for my own front cover.

21. Q9:Would you buy a subscription with
a monthly magazine?
Yes

include a subscription
service to my magazine as
people would subscribe to
it.

a music magazine?
Social Media
TV

social media platforms.
