The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about music magazine preferences. Based on the results, the magazine will focus on alternative music and mention some foreign language music. It will be published monthly to reduce costs. The main feature will be artist/band interviews. The magazine will be priced at £3.50 and have a black and purple color scheme targeting 16-18 year olds. The masthead font will be Inked God.

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, most
people liked the idea of
a Black and Purple
colour scheme, so that
will be the theme for
my magazine.

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.
