Analysed Results

1. Analysed Results
I have used my results from my survey which I gave out to Sixth Form
students and analysed them in detail by each question and the
responses I received.

2. Question 1
The first question of my survey was ‘are you male or female?’. The reason why this was my first question
was because I wanted to know their gender so that I knew my results were equal from both genders. This
will effect my results as if my results were from majority male or female, the results could be bias as they
are from one gender and not both. In total I received 15 replies to my survey, 8 were male and 7 were
female. The result was quite equal as there is a fair amount of both genders.

3. The second question of my survey was ‘how old are you?’. The reason why I chose to put this question in
my survey was because I wanted to make sure the people filling in my survey were my target audience to
make sure the information I collected was accurate and relevant. This would have effected my results if I
didn’t include this question as a year 7 student could have filled out my survey which would have given me
irrelevant information as my target audience are sixth formers.
Question 2
That is also why I decided to print out my survey on paper and give out to
people to fill out. I also put my survey on SurveyMonkey and sent the link
to people who attend other sixth forms as it was difficult and took up a lot
of time to get as many responses. In total I received 15 replies to my
survey, I filled out the ones on paper into SurveyMonkey. There were 10
people who were 16, 3 were 17 and 2 were 18. This was a good response
as the participants’ ages were quite equal between both year 12 and 13.

4. Question 3
The third question of my survey was ‘how much would you pay for a music magazine?’. The reason why I
chose to put this question in my survey was because I wanted to know how much my target audience
would pay for a music magazine, so that when I create my music magazine I would keep in mind how much
my target audience would pay. The most popular price my target audience would pay was £1.50, the
second most popular was £1.00. Therefore when I create my music magazine I will charge £1.00 – £1.50
because from my survey I know that is what my target audience would pay for a music magazine.

5. Question 4
The forth question of my survey was ‘what is your favourite genre/s of music?’. The reason why I chose to
put this question in my survey was because I want to know what my target audience’s favourite music
genre to appeal to my target audience. The most popular genres were Hip Hop/Rap. Therefore my music
magazine will be based around these genres because my target audience enjoy listening to these genres
the most.

6. Question 5
The fifth question of my survey was ‘who are your favourite music artist/s?’ The reason why I chose to put
this question in my survey was because a connotation of a music magazine front cover is the centre of
interest being a band or artist, therefore I put this question in my survey to get a general idea of my target
audience’s favourite artists or bands. I have researched and analysed my target audiences favourite artists
using the information from the survey and put them in a table of their genre and how popular it was. 11
people’s favourite artist genre were hip hop/rap, therefore I could use this in my magazine and chose an
artist or band of this genre as it will appeal to my target audience.

7. Question 6
The sixth question of my survey was ‘What colour combination do you like the most?’ The reason why I
chose to put this question in my survey was because I wanted my magazine to appeal to my target
audience. The most liked colour combination was red, white and black. Therefore, I could use these colours
for my colour scheme which would appeal to my target audience.

8. Question 7
The seventh question of my survey was ‘What is your favourite colour?’ The
reason why I chose to put this question in my survey was because I could also
use the most popular colours in my magazine because they would also appeal to
my target audience.

9. Question 8 / Question 9 / Question 10
The eighth/ninth question of my survey was ‘Do you read music magazines?’,
everyone but one person said that they don’t read magazines. The one person
who said they read magazines said they enjoy reading articles about their
favourite artists. Therefore, I could include this in my music magazine if a
reader of music magazines enjoys it. I also asked ‘If they don’t read magazines,
what could be in the magazine to make you want to read them?’ Three people
said they wanted to read articles on their favourite music artists and know the
latest song and album releases, other people said they wanted to see
interviews with popular music artists. Therefore, I could include these things in
my double page spread as most people wanted to read articles and interviews
therefore I could have an interview in my double page spread.
