I then thought I would find the age group that answered my questionnaire to see if it would reflect the following answered they gave throughout the questionnaire. From the pie charts I found that the majority of people who answered my questionnaire where age from 10 to 20 showing that more teenagers answer the questionnaire compared to adults, the oldest age group to answer my questionnaire was 50 to 60 year old's no one from 60 and above answered my questionnaire.
I then started to ask the public about the music magazine and the question I then asked was weather “ do you buy music magazines” from the pie chart results I found that most people buy music magazines and only a small amount of people don’t buy music magazines.
I then moved on to asking my target audience weather or not they buy music magazine from what I have found out from the pie charts it seems that the the majority of the people I have asked do buy music magazine.
I then asked them if so how many times a month do you buy a music magazine, most people said they buy them monthly then the next one was rarely every, then followed by weekly then every other week. This is show that people do not buy music magazines on a regular basis they probably subscribe to get them every month as that is what has the majority of votes from my results.
I thought I would then ask where do they buy the music magazines, the vast amount of people answered the local store such as (tesco,sainsburys,corner shop) this shows that this is probably the most popular place to buy music magazines compared to the others with less votes such as HMV, WhSmiths and online so these places are least likely to find a lot of people buying music magazines from them.
What Makes you buy a music magazine?
For this question I gave the audience a choice to write there own a opinion to get a variety of different answers. A lot of people said for this question new music is what makes them music magazines so I will have to import that into my magazines along with artist that they know and respect and want to know about there lifestyles was what other people said so maybe doing interviews and having big artists on the front cover might be a good choice. Then finally people said they would like to see promos for different tour dates, gigs when there on and the line ups and finally pictures draw some readers in and make them want to see more along with the language used on the front cover.
I then thought I should see what is the most popular type of music that people listen to today to see what music magazines would be a lot more successful then others so I asked the question what type of music do you perfere and I gave them the choices R&B,Rock,Indie,Jazz,POP, Other people proffered Pop which came out the most preferred out of all of the music types the one with the least votes was Rock which obviously isn't the most liked out of all the music types meaning a rock magazine wouldn't be as big as maybe a Pop magazine as the target audience wouldn't be as big.
I then wanted to know what music magazine everyone was buying so I gave them a variety of answers which were NME, Blitz, Kerrang!, Offbeat, Vibe, Smash Hits and other from the pie chart it shows that Vibe was the most popular out of all the magazine brands and the next biggest magazine is Kerrang! the one which is least liked or brought was Offbeat.
I thought ask we have found out what magazines they like to buy and where from I thought I should ask what they like to see in a magazine so I gave them a serious of answers and as you can see clearly from the pie charts the public said they look for new music over all the other options the one with the lost amount of votes was artist lifestyles they didn't really think this was that interesting so I wouldn't be putting any of that into a music magazines as it isn't a popular subject.
I then asked the audience where they buy music singles or albums on weather they saw them in a music magazine and the answer was yes the majority of people who see new music in magazines mostly go off and buy it only a small amount of people do not do this so I will add new music into my music magazine.
I was wondering why people buy certain magazines and its all about the appearance of the magazine and the front cover which attracts the reader so I asked what do you expect to see on the front cover of a music magazine and they said big artist that was the most favoured option of them all so for my front cover of the music magazine I shall have a big artist starting on the front cover and follow by having them on the double page spread. Then finally the one with the least votes was promos that's what the public didn't really look for on the front cover a magazine.
For this question a lot of the people said that they would buy a music magazine due to there being a large well known artist on the front cover, so when I come to design my front cover I shall make sure that I put an artist on there that is popular and a public eye con.
I then followed that last question to asks would the public like to have new and big artist interviews in a music magazine and the majority of people said yes they would so I could quiet easily import this into my magazine to make it more appealing and appeal to a wide variety of the public audience.
Then asked the audience would they to have a mixture of tow different musics coming together such as R&B and indie into one magazine and only a few people said yes more then no so I think this question is very love or hate so I probably wont import this into my music magazine .
I then asked the finally question to what colours would stand out the most on the front cover the two favourites where gold and white which are quiet strong and vibrant colours that is why they are probably the most favourite the least favourite is purple. So I will probably have to go on those two colours to make my front cover stand out and be recognized.
