2. Male: 8 Female: 12
The First question I asked in my questionnaire was ‘Are You Male Or Female?’. I asked
this question on my questionnaire because then I can find out more about my target
audience as I have asked them which Gender they are so I can aim my magazine at
that specific genre. The results show that 8 Males filled in my questionnaire and 12
Females filled in my questionnaire. This question will help me make decisions for my
music magazine because I can decide on the Genre for the target audience as I got
questionnaires filled in from more females.

The Second question that I included on my
questionnaire was ‘What age range do you fall
under?’. I asked this question because then I can find
out what is the most popular age range of who filled in
my questionnaire so I can make my magazine specific
to that age range. The graph shows for my results of
this question is that the most popular age range was
18-20 years old, as most of the audience that I asked
was in that target ages as I tried to get a range of
different age ranges but I mainly gave them out to 182o years old as they were the main ages around
where I handed my questionnaires out, this age range
Under

I also had under 18’s that filled in my questionnaire, the number of under 18’s that filled in my
questionnaire was 2, and the age range 21-30 had a total number of 3 who filled in my
questionnaire, also the age range 41-44, this age range had a number of 1 person that filled in
my questionnaire. This will help me make decisions for my music magazine because it gives me
an idea of a target audience for the age ranges for my magazine as the most popular age
range was 18-20 years old so it will make me think about my age range for my target audience
of the Music Magazine that I will produce. The person filling in this questionnaire just ticks one

The third question that I involved in my magazine
was ‘How often do you buy a music magazine?’. I
asked this question because I can find out how
often my target audience that filled in my
questionnaire would buy a magazine so I can
think about decisions for my magazine as I would
need a frequency of publication for my music
magazine that I would produce. The graph shows
on the left that the most popular frequency of
publication with magazines that my target
audience have bought is a monthly one, I think
that the audience buys a magazine monthly the
most because some magazines are quite
expensive to buy especially because they are
music magazines.
The less popular frequency of publication from my target audience that answered my
questionnaire was never because most of my target audience that I asked buy magazines quite
often. There was also some people that buy magazines daily there was 1 person that bought a
magazine daily as they enjoy reading magazines. Also, some of the target audience that filled my
questionnaire in bought magazines yearly, the number of people out of the 20 that filled in my
questionnaire 3 of them bought a magazine yearly. This will help me with decisions for my
magazine as I can decide the frequency of publication for my magazine so it will be better for the
target audience of my music magazine. The person filling in this questionnaire only ticks one box.

The Fourth questionnaire that I included in my
questionnaire was ‘What are you willing to pay
for a music magazine?’. I included this in my
questionnaire because it is important to ask
about the prices that your audience would pay
for a music magazine because if you priced your
magazine expensive then nobody would buy it
because they would think its too much to pay for
a magazine but if you do it cheaper then the
audience will think they are not paying enough
for that magazine. The graph shows that the
most popular price was between £1.60- £2.50 as
the 20 people that I asked 12 of them said that
price. I think that this was the most popular one
because its not too expensive and also isn’t too
cheap either.
The less popular price for this question was the other category as the audience thought that the
prices that I put them down to tick were appropriate prices for a music magazine. Also there was 2
people that they pay under £1.50 for a music magazine, there was 3 people that would pay £2.60£3.20, 1 person would pay £3.30-£4.00. 2 people that would pay £4.10-£5.00 and also 2 people that
would pay over £5.10. This question will help me decide ideas for my music magazine because I
can choose what the cost would be for my music magazine. The person filling this questionnaire in
only ticks one box.

The Fifth Question that I included in my questionnaire was ‘Do
you buy music magazines?’. I included this in my magazine
because I needed to know if my target audience actually do
buy magazines because I am going to be producing a
magazine for them so If they didn’t buy magazines it would be
no help to me. The graph on this slide shows that my target
audiences most popular answer to this question was Yes, the
number of people that said yes out of 12 was 12, also 8 people
said that they sometimes buy music magazines, and nobody
said that they don’t buy magazines. This will help me with
decisions for my music magazine because I know that my targe
audience mainly buy magazines or will sometimes buy music
magazines, I know that they definitely buy music magazines.
The person filling in this questionnaire only ticks one box.

The sixth question that I included in my questionnaire was
‘What Music magazines do you already buy?’. I involved
this question in my questionnaire because it will help me in
a range of different ways when producing my magazine.
The graph to the left shows that the most popular
magazine for the target audience that I handed out my
questionnaire too was Acoustic a total of 12 people said
that they buy Acoustic Magazines. The less popular
response that I got for this question was that they have
never bought one of these magazines as my target
audience would buy one of these magazines as they were
my target audience for this genre of the music that I want
to do. A number of 2 people buy JazzWise Magazine out of
the 20, the number of people that I asked that buy
Blues&Soul is 4. Also Total Guitar and Blues matters are
equally amount bought both magazines had a number of
6 each. Some people buy more than one of these
magazines not just one. The person filling this questionnaire
out could tick more than one box.
This will help me with decisions for my music magazines because the most popular magazine that
was most bought by my target audience, I can research into a lot more detail so it can help me
with a numerous of different things that I can have an idea for when I produce my magazine such
as Layouts, Colour Schemes, Content so I can see the mains in this magazine that will help me with
my production.

The seventh question that I included in my questionnaire
was ‘What colours would you associate with the genres

favourite colours and also their opinion on the colour
6
schemes. The person filling in this questionnaire could tick

more than one box The graph shows that the three most
2
popular colours for this question was blue with 15 people

that ticked that box on the questionnaire, also orange and
white were popular both with a number of 13. The number
of people that said red was 9, the number of people that
said brown was 2 and black was 5, nobody said another

help me with decisions as I will have to choose a colours scheme for my magazine so I have some
opinions and suggestions that I can use, I will properly use the top 3 which would be Blue and

The eighth question that I included in my questionnaire
was ‘What words would you associate with the genres
Jazz, Blues&Soul , Acoustic?’. I included this question
because I can see what words my target audience
would associate words with this type of genre of music.
The graph shows that the most popular word was
Unique with a number of 12 people that said this word.
The less popular word that was in my results was five
different words, the words
talented, Hardworking, Gigs, Slow, Deep, this is
properly because people have different opinions on
this type of music. The words that are involved in this
graph are the words that appeared on my
questionnaires. Also 8 people suggested that calm was
a word that is associated with this genre of music.
5 people suggested that relaxed was a word for this genre, and also 7 people put guitars down as a
word and 2 people put the word string. This will help me with my music magazine because these words
can be used for buzz words for the front of my magazine so it is more eye-catching as the words would
catch the readers attention. The person filling in this questionnaire would write three different words
down that they think associated with these genres of music.

opinions too otherwise they wouldn’t buy the magazine, as the audience is an important thing in
magazines but I can see the masthead font that I will use in my magazine. The person filling in this
