Questionnaire Results

   1. Gender? Male/Female




                                                          Male
                                                          Female




I have an equal amount of males to females, so this means that my magazine will appeal to both sexes.

   2. Age?




                                                             16-18
                                                             18-21
                                                             22-24
                                                             25+




My target audience is between the ages of 16-25, I gave the questionnaire out in a college which means
that a majority of the people who filled it out were 16-18, but I did receive a few from the other ages too.

   3. What are your three favourite colours?


    Other
   Yellow
    Black
    White
                                                          Series1

     Red

            0      2        4       6        8       10

The most popular colours were blue and red; I will therefore use these colours in my magazine as they
seem to appeal to the vast majority of the target audience.
4. How often would you purchase a magazine?




                                                                 Weekly
                                                                 Monthly




A larger proportion of people who filled out the questionnaire said that they would much rather buy a
magazine monthly rather than weekly, so I will be publishing my magazine monthly.

   5. Who is your favourite rap, grime, or hip-hop artist?


           Other
          Eminem
      Lil Wayne
             Wiz
       Yelawolf
                                                          Series1
            T.T.C
            Jay Z
           J Cole

                    0       2        4      6         8


Most people voted for Jay Z, this means I will therefore try and include features about this artist, as it will
appeal to the readers more than others.

               Ad       Interview   Comp   Lat News   Freebies      Other

I will try and feature more freebies in the my new magazine, this is because a higher proportion of the
people who filled in the magazine said they would prefer this feature over any other.
7. What do you dislike about music magazines you read currently?




                                                Ad
                                                Interview
                                                Comp
                                                Lat News
                                                Freebies
                                                Other




Advertisements is the main thing people who filled out the questionnaire said they would not like to see in
the new magazine, I can see why as they may become repetitive and annoying to look at, so I will try and
keep advertisements to a minimum when constructing my magazine.

   8. How much are you willing to pay for a magazine?




                                                            1
                                                            2
                                                            3
                                                            4




The figures of £3 and £4 seemed to be more popular than others, so I will be looking to keep the price
range between these two figures, as it seems like a reasonable price to charge for a music magazine.

   9. Would competitions, with chances to meet up and coming/established artists, make you want to buy
      the magazine more?

   0
              Yes                No


As the bar chart shows, competitions featured in the magazine would make it appeal more to the audience
it is aiming towards.
10. How do you spend a month on rap music (CDs etc…)?


     None
        £27+
  £22-£26
  £17-£21                                                 Series1
  £11-£16
   £5-£10

               0       5          10            15


A majority of people hardly spend any money on rap music, I can take from this that things such as “illegal
downloading” are stopping people from buying albums when it’s offered for free. This means I could
possibly have a feature that will try to encourage readers in to buying music more often.

   11. Would you be interested in promotional features? Such as…




                                             Posters
                                             Stickers
                                             CDs
                                             Other




Posters seem to be the main promotional feature that appeals to the people who filled out the
questionnaire; I will try and feature this into the magazine to help it appeal more.

   12. Do you go to gigs quite frequently?

    6
  5.8
  5.6
  5.4
               Yes         No    Sometimes


A high proportion of people go to gigs quite frequently, therefore things such as free tickets will be a good
prize to feature in competitions.
13. What is your preferred font for the mast head?


  Other

  Font4

  Font3
                                                             Series1

  Font1

           0         2          4            6           8


I am going to pick between either “Font3” / “Font2” as these were the most popular fonts chosen.

      14. What is your preferred front for the rest of the text?




                                                             Font1
                                                             Font2
                                                             Font3
                                                             Font4
                                                             Other




I am going to go with “Font1” as this is the most popular font picked out from the questionnaire.

      15. How do you listen to your music?

               Tv    Internet       Itunes       Other


Internet seems to be the most popular source of listening to music, therefore I will try and feature website
addresses etc… that will appeal to the readers.
