The document contains the results of a questionnaire about music magazine preferences. It shows that most respondents were between 16-20 years old and female. The majority listened to rock music and their favorite rock bands included Muse, Fleetwood Mac, and Arctic Monkeys. When describing rock music, common words used were loud, heavy, and cool. Most respondents never buy rock magazines or would only buy one every month. They prefer magazines with pictures over text and would pay between £2-£4 for a magazine. The most expected photo type on the front cover is a midshot. This information will help guide decisions about the target audience, content, and design of a new rock music magazine.
