Music Magazine: Questionnaire Results
My main target audience was people aged from 16 – 25, so mainly young adults. This
was because I wanted to get true and accurate results from my intended target
audience and I wanted to get results that I could use in order to make a specific
magazine that is suitable for its target readership.

From my results I can see that the image is the main selling point for my magazine as it
attracts the audience to the magazine before any other aspects, this shows that I need
to make sure that my pictures that I use for my magazine need to be of a high quality
and are eye catching. I also need to make sure my masthead and my articles are good
enough to attract my audience as they are also important.

Music Magazine: Questionnaire Results
From my results I can see that the most of the genres are quite popular for this age
group and because my magazine of inspiration is Billboard I could make a magazine
that doesn’t have a specific genre of music included in every issue. This also allows my
magazine to target a wider range of people inside the target demographic that I have
chosen.

I can see that the competitions in magazines are very appealing to my target audience
which allows me to have lots of movement in what promotional offer that would
attract the audience for example winning tickets for a concert or to win £100 would be
appealing to my target audience as it is shown in my results.

The majority of people would not mind paying up to £3 for a magazine, possibly even
over £3, so pricing my magazine at £3.50 may be an option if they are willing to pay
that amount for the content in my magazine. This price may seem quite expensive but
if there is a lot of content in the magazine then it might be worth the money.

Music Magazine: Questionnaire Results
It seems as though the target audience would prefer a monthly magazine rather then a
weekly or annual magazine. This shows that the audience would want a magazine to
come out often but not too frequently which also allows for articles to be more detailed
because more time is allowed for work to be done on them.

Music Magazine: Questionnaire Results
From the results I can see that the preferred colour scheme for the magazine would be
pink and black, this could be because these colours stand out against each other and
will attract the target audience because they are very noticeable colours especially if
the pink is bright and bold it will defiantly attract an audience.

Finally, from the results I can see that the main aspect that attracts an audience to the
magazine would be the celebrity that is used for that issue. This also reinforced that
fact that my images need to be of a high quality and need to famous people who are
current. I also need to consider the news and gossip used in the magazine in order to
attract my target audience.
