Questionnaire Results

Questionnaire Results
What age group do you belong to?

All candidates answer with 12-16 so I will have to tailor the magazine to this age group.

Are you male or female?

The majority of my focus group are males so the magazine will have to appeal to a male audience. I can achieve this by using appropriate fonts, images, colours and articles to draw in their attention.

What feature of a magazine would interest you most? (Reviews, Interviews, Etc.)

As interviews was the reply that came up the most I will use this to attract my target market by interviewing the artist that will appear in the magazine.

What genre of music are you most likely to listen to?  Tick one.


R'n'B was the answer given the most so the type of artists, features and music featured in the magazine will relate to this genre of music in order to attract the majority of the magazine's target audience.


What type of magazine would you say you read the most? Tick one.


As music magazine was the main answer I will I will follow the conventions of a music magazine in order to make my target audience become comfortable with the layout and look of my magazine therefore making it more appealing to the target audience.


Where are you most likely to buy a magazine? (Supermarkets, News agents, Etc.)


Newsagents and supermarkets are my target audience's main source of magazines so I will have to make the front covers of my music magazine appropriate to be sold in this environment. By making it friendly to all areas of the public and making it stand out on a shelf.

How much would you be willing to pay for a music magazine? (Between £2.00 and £5.00)

As most of my target audience are still in education so they are are not willing to pay over £4 but are willing to pay around £3 for a good quality music magazine as it is a keen interest of theirs and find that it is worth the money.

How often would you like the magazine to be issued?


My target audience would prefer to have a monthly issue as there will be more content in the magazine as it will cover a larger amount of time meaning that more has happened in the world of music. It also allows it to become more of a treat than a thing of everyday life making it seem more exclusive.

What colours would you prefer on the front cover? (pick three)


Purple, Black and White were chosen for the reason that it looks sophisticated but young at the same time. It will appeal to the type of people in my target audience.

Do the features in the magazine matter in your choice of magazine when you like the artist on the front cover?


As the answer was mainly yes I will have to gather some features that will attract the type of people in my target audience. Such as gigg dates, interviews and reviews.

What type of ‘freebies’ would appeal to you more?


The target audience said they would appreciate any type of 'freebie' that is associated with music as it will tie the whole magazine together and give it a more professional, official feel.
