Questionnaire

To get a better understanding about the audience of the magazine, I created a questionnaire which was sent via an e-mail. The questionnaire consisted of these questions:

I will analyse all the research I collect, and will build my ideas upon the response I get through the questionnaire i.e

• age of target audience
• genre of the magazine
• how many people buy music magazines and how could I increase this
• what my double page spread will be about
• who is a popular artist that I could base my artist on

To answer my questionnaire I asked a sample of 10 males and 10 females, ranging between the age of 9-32+ so I get a more reliable range of results. The results are as follows:

• 13 people who answered the questionnaire were in the target audience age of 14-19, this will be the age I will aim my magazine at. It will be easier to do so as I fit into this category and use this to my benefit when designing the music magazine. 
• Most people of the sample preferred indie and pop music. When it comes to designing the magazine I will choose to set it to the music genre of Indie.
• The favourite artist was Lady Gaga, when it comes to choosing the image of my cover artist I may base it on Lady Gaga, her style etc.
• Quite alot of people do not purchase a music magazine, therefore I will try to appeal to these people when making my magazine.
• Of the sample more people are attracted to NME magazine, therefore I may use the ideas and change them to make my magazine.
• For my double page spread I will make it an interview as this is what people prefer to read in magazines.
