The document discusses the results of a survey about magazine preferences. It suggests that the magazine should: 1) Have an eye-catching cover to appeal to casual readers. 2) Be published monthly with a lot of content to encourage readers to purchase each issue. 3) Appeal to both male and female readers with a mix of content. 4) Target younger readers aged 16-19 but use a mix of slang and proper English. 5) Be available in both print and online formats.

1. This information tells us that the majority of my reader ship would be casual
magazine readers. In order to sell my magazine to this type of audience would mean
I will have to make my cover eye catching and enticing in order to convince this kind
of reader to purchase my magazine. the results tell me that other people would be
more likely to buy a monthly magazine, therefore I should make my magazine
monthly and fill it with a lot of content making it worth buying every month and
hopefully this larger amount of content would convince people who would normally
buy a weekly magazine wait a month for to buy each issue instead.

2. These results tell me that more men would be reading my magazine, therefore I could
possibly have a lot of items in the magazine that stereotypically cater towards men.
However more people clicked either female or other than clicked male therefore the
magazine should have more of an androgynous feel to it, this is to make it cater for
everyone.

3. The results show that 100% of all the people who took part in the audience survey
were between the ages of 16 – 19 which tells us that the magazine should cater
towards a younger audience, that still treats the reader maturely. There fore in the
magazine there should be a mixture of slang and proper English in order to engage
them properly. It should also focus more on up and coming bands along with bands of
the modern era as they're more in the public eye, but still include older bands as well.

4. The results show that people tend to prefer print to any other outlet, however it
shows a there is a niche market for online issues, therefore I would have both a
print option available in stores and an online version for those who don’t wish to
leave their house.

5. The results show that people tend to appreciate a variety of
layouts, the main on being kerrang. This tells me that I should take
aspects from all these magazines, while focusing on kerrang, while
giving my magazine its own feel.

6. The results tell me I should focus on all the rock sub-genres in my magazine
which caters towards more people, while focusing a little bit more on
alternative as that is the most popular choice.

7. This shows us that a lot of the possible readers
would be from these regions, therefore in the
magazine I should focus on local bands from
these areas slightly more as they would be
more likely to see them. Also some people
stated they're not in the UK which tells us that
the magazine has an opportunity to be sold
internationally.

8. These results tell us that people tend to like magazines of different styles, mostly genre
based and general ones, therefore if I have a variety of genres, it'll cater to a wider
audience. Also some people like instrument based magazines, therefore I should include
sections that are based around instruments.

9. These results tell me that people tend to enjoy free promotional offers in their
magazines. Therefore I should include posters, free EP downloads and
competitions to entice people to keep coming back and purchasing my magazine.

10. These results that people tend to go to concerts occasionally, most likely
because they cant afford to go to concerts because the price of the tickets
and the price together maybe too much. In order to help this competitions
should be run in the magazine, where people could win concert/festival
tickets which could entice more people to but the magazine, especially if
they win, the idea that they might win again my keep them coming.
