1. Results Analysis
Here are the results from my questionnaire, and how they will affect
my music magazine:
With 9 people saying they mostly
listened to ‘Alternative’ music, I
will make that type of music my
main focus. However, in close
second ‘Different Language’ got 8
votes so perhaps I will mention
some in my magazine as well.
Kerrang gained the most votes
so I will buy an issue of Kerrang
magazine to study and analyse
in order to get a few ideas that
I can integrate into my
magazine.
I took care to not phrase my question as “How
frequently would you want a music magazine to be
published”, as even if a reader wants it to be
published every week, they may not necessarily buy
it every week. 12 out of 20 people said they would
buy a music magazine every month. To reduce costs
and improve profit, my magazine should only be
published once a month (selling it once a week or
fortnight will be a waste as not many will be sold).

2. The majority chose
Artist/Band interviews, so
though my coverlines will
mention the next 2 most
liked (Event Information
and Reviews) as well,
perhaps my two-page
spread’s main aspect will
be an artist/band
interview.
Since it was almost a tie
between £2.50-£2.99 and
3.50-3.99, I’ll make my music
magazine £3.50 to hopefully
satisfy the majority.
As you can see, the
same amount of people
chose Black and Purple
and Purple and White. I
will have to decide
which colour scheme to
use for my magazine’s
theme.

3. The overwhelming majority
of people I interviewed
were 16-18 years old, so
they will be my target
market.
Font 4 was clearly
the most popular.
That font was Inked
God, and that will be
my magazine’s
Masthead font.
Afterthoughts:
The only problem with a tally is that people can see previous votes. To solve
that, next time instead of giving them the tally to do themselves, I will ask the
questions and mark it up myself so that their answers will not be influenced by
the answers of others.
