- 2. Are you Male or Female? Male : 8 Female : 12 For my music magazine I tried to ask a split of genders, this is good because my target audience gender is mixed. I did manage to get a close enough split of females and males.
- 4. One of the first main questions I asked was about the price that I should have my magazine at. Most of the answers came out at the lower end of the answers, betwe en £1.50 and £3.50. Over 11 people said that they would rather pay £1.50£2.50 and only 9 people chose £2.50-£3.50. What do you see as a suitable price pay for a magazine? 12 What do you see as a suitable price to pay for a magazine? 10 8 6 Series1 4 2 0 £1.50-£2.50 £2.50-£3.50 £3.50-£4.50 £4.50+ I also gave larger prices and not one person put that they were willing to pay over £3.50. This is important because I now know where to place my price range so that my magazine will actually sell. I will make sure it is around the £2.50 mark.
- 5. For this question I picked what I saw as the six main music magazines to see how many people read each one. The three magazines that got the most was Q, Kerrang and NME. Each magazine is published only monthly. So this almost says that the readers like to read more at one time rather than little and more often. What music magazines do house style you already read? Thethese three of 8 What music magazines do you already read? 7 6 5 4 Series1 3 2 1 0 Q Kerrang miXmag Dj Mag NME VIBE Other main magazines are all different. Kerrang is very busy whereas Q is more sophisticated. This shows to me that when I make my music magazine that it doesn’t matter which kind of house style that I use because both are very popular throughout. It has also shown to me that everyone I asked read a music magazine which is important because I know
- 6. For this question I got a clear majority of which the audience think best goes along with my genre, house music. This was Neon colours. A total of 20 people said this. This has helped because now I know when creating my magazine to use neon colours when thinking about my house style. What type of colours do you associate with house music? 25 20 What type of colours do you associate with house music? 15 Series1 10 5 0 Solid Colours Neon Colours Pastel Colours Dark Colours Bright Colours However, a small minority said that they would associate bright colours and dark colours with house music. So I will take this on board, and use some elements of these colours throughout my magazine.
- 7. This question I asked because I wanted to see what DJ’s were most popular throughout my target audience so that I could base my magazines around them. What are your three favourite DJ at the moment? 16 14 What are your three favourite DJ's at the moment? 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Series1 The favourite DJ was Calvin Harris with 14 peoeple saying they liked him. I will make sure that I include all these DJ’s within my magazine at some point as I know people will want to read about them.
- 8. For this question I mainly wanted to know what people would like to see on the double page spreads. Most people wanted to see inside interviews but it was closely followed by love lives and sneak peaks. What would you want to see on the feature page this week? 12 What would you want to see on the feature page each week? 10 8 6 Series1 4 2 0 Interviews Sneak Peaks Up Coming Life Stories Events Love Lives I was most shocked to see that ‘up coming events’ didn’t get a high score. So from this question I realised that people mostly read music magazines to find out information about their idol. Not about the events they are doing.
- 9. Would you be willing to pay an extra £1.00 for a free-be? Yes : 20 No : 0 Everyone I gave my questionnaire to said that they would pay extra to get a little something free, like a mixtape or vouchers off tickets. I now know that this is a good way to sell my magazine to add in extras.
- 10. For this question I wanted to know how often my target audience thought I should publish my magazine. I got a strong majority of weekly with 14 votes. So for my magazine I will do it so it is weekly. How often do you think the magazine should be published? 16 14 How often do you think the magazine should be published? 12 10 8 Series1 6 4 2 0 Weekly Monthly Quatrtley Every Two Weeks I was surprised by this because when I asked which magazines people read most, they were all monthly magazines. So some of the research I had already collected did not back up the answer that I got.
- 11. Most people who I gave my questionnaire to did not answer this question so I only ended up with four different titles. Two people chose the same title which is House Style. I do like this title but it is a very obvious title so for my actual one I may use something more creative. Do you have any specific title ideas? 2.5 Do you have any specific title ideas? 2 1.5 Series1 1 0.5 0 HM House Style House Heat The other three titles that people chose were HEAT, HOUSE and HM. I like all three of these titles as they all do show house music. My person best would be HM, because I like the fact it is an
- 12. The first one is ‘House Music’ the second one is ‘house music’ the third one is ‘house music’ and the fourth one was ‘ house music’ The most popular one was the second one. So I will take this into account when I do my house style for my magazine. Out of these four fonts which one links the most to the genre? 10 9 Out of these four fonts which one links the most to the genre? 8 7 6 5 Series1 4 3 2 1 0 House Music House Music House Music House Music This font will be be used throughout my magazine, as I have took what my target audience thinks.
