The questionnaire results showed that the target audience for the magazine is 16-17 year olds interested in rock music. They associate rock with loud music, guitars, and drums. Most popular artists included Justin Bieber, All Time Low, and 5SOS. The magazine should include features like interviews, album reviews, and competitions to win concert tickets. Based on the responses, the magazine will be published monthly with a price of £2-3, black and red color scheme, and include free CDs.

This question will help me identify the gender of my target audience so therefore I
can alter the features or bands that are going to be used in my magazine. It will
help me with the colour scheme.

3. 2) Are you interested in rock magazines
Yes
No
Most of the people who answered my questionnaire like rock music however so that I
can appeal to people who don’t like rock music I will add current bands that are
related to the genre so that they might start buying or liking the genre.

4. 3) What is your age?
16
17
All of the people that I asked to do my questionnaire were of the age 16 or 17 therefore
my magazine is going to be targeted to the younger generation therefore I will not
involve a lot of older bands as younger people may not know or identify with the band
so I will mostly include current bands.

6. Out of the 20 people I asked the bands/artists who got the most votes where
Justin Bieber, All Time Low, 5SOS and The 1975. Therefore I will try and include
these artists in some of my articles however not all of them are from the rock
genre so may not fit in my magazine so I will have to use other artist who are
in the rock genre that other people out of my target audience voted for like
Panic At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, State Champs and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

8. 5) What three words do you associate
with rock?
The top three vote words associated with rock are loud, guitar and drums

and use them on my cover page as people will identify that it is a rock
magazine and buy the magazine if they are interested in the genre.

The top voted colour is black with 10 votes but the next top voted was red with 9 votes
therefore the colour scheme is going to be black and red with maybe white text to

The most disliked thing about music magazine that got voted by a lot of people is
that they involve too much text therefore to overcome this problem I will include
more images but still include some text. However the other disliked thing is the
price of the magazine will be too expensive therefore I will lower the price of the
usual music magazine.

The results that I got from this question shows that people want my magazine to
be from £2 to £3 however from the research that I did the price of magazines
from my genre are usually £3-£4 but on the previous question which was what
people dislike about music magazines one of the most voted disliked thing was
the price therefore I will lower my price of an normal magazine so my target
audience will buy the magazine.

Freebies
From the 20 people I asked only 2 of the 20 said they didn’t want any freebies
therefore as the majority wanted freebies I will include them in my magazine. The
type of freebie that was the most popular is CD’s or tickets to go and see a band in
concert however I will have CD’s as I will make the tickets for the competitions.

16. 12) What concerts have you been to?
This question helps me figure out if I sell tickets in competitions which artists
or bands that my target audience are most likely to want. It also helps me
figure what articles I want to create about any certain bands that appeal to
them. Most of the artists are not from the rock genre therefore I will try and
involve them in may magazine somehow so that people will be interested in
my magazine.

17. 13) What features would you want to find
in a music magazine?
Artist reviews
Album reviews
Q&A
New artists
reviews
Other
From my questionnaire results I have concluded that the most popular feature
will be album reviews however the new artist reviews came second therefore I
will include both album reviews and artist reviews in my magazine.

Would you enter
competitions?
I asked this question as I wanted to know whether or not I should involve
competitions in my magazine, from my results I conclude that the majority of
people want to enter competitions. The prize for these competitions will be
tickets as it was the second most voted freebie.

19. 15) Which of these have you heard of?
Kerrang
Rock sound
Classic rock
Other
This question will help me get inspiration from the other magazines that
people have heard of. The most heard of magazine was Kerrang therefore
I will use a similar style to want Kerrang have in there magazine.
