Questionnaire Results

My graph for question 1 shows that most of the people who completed my questionnaire were female. This gives me a more realistic idea of what should be in my magazine and what it should look like. As there is a higher percentage of females this means that my music magazine will be more female related. This is a positive as being a female myself I can also add my own opinion. The disadvantage is that the core audience is not as wide as it could be.

Question 2 shows that most of the people that filled out my questionnaire were 16-20 therefore they shall be my target audience. This helps my music magazine with suitable colours, images and headlines. The ages 20+ only received 4 votes altogether. Again, this is a positive as I am within this age range. 

On question 3 the least selected answer was more than twice a week with only 3 people. This shows music magazines are unpopular. 6 people chose once a week but the highest was once a month with 16 people. As most people only buy a magazine once a month I feel that there has to be a fair bit of information so the magazine can last.

For question four the most popular answer was that 12 people would pay £1.00-£1.99 for a music magazine, this is very low. 9 people would pay £2.00-£2.99 and 3 people would pay £3.00-£3.99

Only one person were in Group C1 and C2. Two people were in Class B which are managerial middle class workers. This question shows that 21 people were group E which is students, this is positive as this is also my socio economic group. As Group E was the most chosen then this is my target audience helping me with colours, images, artists and the type of headlines that should be on my music magazine.

The least popular thing in a magazine is competitions with 2 people. Quizes were only chosen by 8 people, this helps as I now know what to put in my music magazine and what would be wasting my time. Interviews received 12 votes and reviews received 11, as there is only one vote separating them, I feel that both should be included in a music magazine as these are important.

Question 7 gives me an insight on what my target audience like to listen to and who they like to look at as and who they like as people. The most popular was Beyonce with 14 votes and the second most popular was Rihanna, this gives me the impression that my target audience like loud and outgoing woman who stand up for what they believe in and having 'girl power'. This again helps images, headlines and colours.

The most favourited male artists are One Direction and Justin Timberlake. These artists have only recently made a comeback meaning my target audience listen to modern music. These two artists are appealing to the eye which again helps me in producing my music magazine with images and headlines.  

For question 9 only 2 people said that they would like to see just males in the magazine whereas 5 said females but 17 people chose both, this shows that my magazine is unbiased to any gender and is unisex. I feel this helps with my images and layour of my music magazine as I know the target audience doesn't want me to focus on one gender.

This question helps with my music magazine producing the most as these are the things which attract a buyer and persuade them towards a certain magazine. The most popular options were headlines, images and colours. These are now my main focus and I want my music magazine to be popular. As my target audience are femaes ages 16-20 this helps with colours such as pink, yellow and blue. As the headlines are the most important to my target audience then that needs to be well thought through.

This question has helped me in what my music magazine will be called. as the most popular two were LOUD and ROAR. I have chosen LOUD to be my music magazine brand name as it was the most popular and the one that I feel fits the most with my pop genre.

My target audience chose an image dominated page which means they like one main image other than lots of little images therefore my photography needs to be high quality and intriguing towards them making eye contact. 

Eye contact was more popular than the artists occupied therefore I know what my music magazine readers want to see so I am going to stick with what they have chosen as i feel this has a more personal feel to the reader.

Neither of these answers recieved more votes, both were the same therefore it is my choice to decide. I feel that a more image dominated spread works better as it feels like you are involved in what the artists is doing.
