I gave my

questionnaire to

mostly females as

that is my main

target audience.

However I thought

males may also

read it and there for

I needed their

opinion.

Q1: What is your gender?

Q2: What is the average price of

the magazines that you buy?

I worked out an average for the price that the people I surveyed said they usually pay for a magazine. The answer I found was £2.50 .

Therefore as they are my target audience the price must be this to level or even have a lower price than some of the competition magazines.

I found that my

magazine should

either be a weekly

or monthly issue as

that is how much

most teenagers

read music

magazines.

Q3: How regularly do you read

music magazines?

Billboard is the most

popular magazine from

the results that I

collected, Q is the

second most popular

magazine. As these are

popular which the target

audience I will research

more into the

techniques and content

in the magazine.

Q4: Which of the following music

magazines do you read?

Q5: Favourite pop star from the

following…

I chose this question to

help me decide which

artists I would feature in

my magazine. I chose

the list because they

are all well know. I

found out that the

celebrities people are

most interested in is

Katy Perry, Justin

Bieber and One

direction.

Q6: How regularly do you

download music/buy CDs?

I found that my

target audience is

very up to date with

music and this

shows that I may

need to have a

weekly chart update

feature in my

magazine.

Q7: What are your favourite sections

of a music magazine and why?

I found that the most favourite section is the articles

especially interviews and also the photos. Therefore

it is important for me to use pictures on my double

page spread.

Many of the people I

asked are a lot more

likely to buy the

magazine if the front

cover is appealing e.g.

the person on it and the

cover lines. This means

that it is important to

make the cover stand

out against the other

magazines on the shelf.

Q8: Do you only buy the magazine if

you like the front cover?

Q9: What colours do you most

associate with the pop genre?

I found out that most people associate the pop genre with the colour pink, with purple, blue and red following. It is important as it shows that bright colours are important on the cover.

Q10: On a scale of 1-4 how important are the following to you in a music magazine?

(4 being highest)

These are the averages of the results that I collected:

• Reviews: 3• Information about new bands: 3• Competitions: 1• Tour dates: 2• Interviews: 4

Interviews has the highest average which shows the importance. Another thing that I will consider using in my magazine is reviews and information on new bands as they are also an interest for the target audience.
