The document discusses the results of a survey conducted to help design a music magazine. It summarizes the following key points: - Rock was the most preferred music genre among the group surveyed, but the magazine will focus on indie/alternative music. - People in the 16-17 age group surveyed do not often buy or never buy music magazines. - Kerrang and NME were the most favored existing music magazines. - Black and white were the most preferred colors for the magazine design. - Four images was the most favored number for the contents page. - The artist featured on the cover is the main reason people buy music magazines. - The target audience would not pay

1. In this part of the questionnaire, I asked
people what type of music genre they
preferred. From the results, I can see
that ‘Rock’ was the most preferred
music genre out of a group of people
Then Alternative, then indie and rap.
Because the people I asked were in a
similar age group, they listen to a
similar type of music. However even
though rock was the most preferred, I
am going to base my music magazine
around the indie/alternative music
genre.

2. In the second part of my
questionnaire, the question I
asked was, how often do you
buy music magazines. From the
results I got I can see that
people in a similar age group of
16 and 17, don’t buy music
magazines very often, or never.
This may be because not many
music magazines appeal to a
younger age group.

3. For this part of my
questionnaire I asked what was
their favourite music magazine
to read. From my results I can
see that the most favoured was
‘Kerrang’ because it belongs to
the rock genre and apart from
‘other’ the second most current
magazine favoured was ‘NME’.

4. For this part of my survey, I
asked a group of people which
colours they would like to see
on a music magazine. From my
results I can see that the most
preferred colours were plain
and simple ones as black and
white were the most favoured.
Based on my results, I am
going to make my colour
scheme simple so it will
appeal to a wider audience.

5. For the fifth part of my survey I
wanted to know how many
images would be suitable to
put on a contents page. From
this I can tell that four was the
most favoured and most
suitable. However I am going to
make my contents page with
slightly more images to keep
the reader intrigued and make
it less writing.

6. For another part of my survey I
wanted to know what makes
people buy music magazines. As
you can see the main reason
people buy music magazines is
because of the artist on the front.
So on the cover of mine I am going
to introduce an artist that nobody
has seen before with an eye
catching subtitle, making them
intrigued as to who the person is. I
am also going to make the person
on the front the main focus.

7. For the last part of my survey I
wanted to know if my target
audience would pay more
money if the magazine
contained a poster. From my
results I can see that people
wont pay more for a poster as
my age group is slightly older to
want a poster so I am not going
to include one in my music
magazine.
