From research on magazine readers' preferences, the respondent discovered that readers find text and images providing insights into musicians' interests and lifestyles most important. There were mixed opinions on whether the main cover image should feature a group or single artist. Ultimately, having a well-liked artist on the cover was deemed most likely to increase demand for the issue, as many respondents said they wouldn't purchase the magazine without a cover artist they enjoy.

1. Task 8 - Conclusion
From doing my research I have discovered that my readers find the text and images within
a magazine the most important as they like to find out what the musicians are doing (
interests and lifestyle ) and the pictures also make it more visually appealing to the reader.
There was a mixture of opinions when discussing if my main image should be a group or a
singular artist. Ben suggested a singular musician as he doesn't like having “ too much
going on “ on the front cover. Rachel recommended groups as she believes they’re more
popular within the pop industry and will attract the target audience. When i asked if they
would prefer a male or a female artist(s) on the front cover, the boys stated that they would
prefer seeing female artists as they are physically attracted to them and are more likely to
buy the magazine; same conclusion for the women. However Rachel said that she would
prefer a female artist as she can aspire to be like them. To make my magazine stand out,
my group suggested having a bright, exciting colour scheme to attract them from
competing magazines. Also, having a good main headline will entice readers into
purchasing the magazine as they will be desperate to read the article inside. The main
image was also mentioned. Many said during my survey that they wouldn't purchase the
magazine if they didn't like the artist on the front cover, so having a well liked artist will
more likely increase the demand of the magazine issue.
