Analysing survey 2
- 2. In this graph ive learnt that the majority of people who have completed my survey find the colours red and green as being more eye-catching on a music magazine. This piece of information is useful as the background of the front cover of my magazine would need to be eye-catching and attractive. By having people give their opinions gives me a better understanding on what colour I should go for when whilst making my music magazine. Overall the colours red and green have an overall percentage of 25. Close to red and green were the colours black and pink. This gives me a Varity of well respected colours to choose from. Overall in this question, I used colours that I was considering using in my magazine. By doing this instead of stating random colours, it meant that I would have a more relevant set of answers to choose from that would be more useful and effective to influencing my decision.
- 3. This question helped me in deciding how many people I should include in my front cover. This was useful piece of data for my photo shoot as it gave me a rough idea of how many people I should take pictures of my models individually rather than getting all of them in one shot. The data I received told me that I should include 1 model on my front cover rather than more. This is understandable as including one person in my front cover would attract fans of that artists as more as it would if other artists are included in the front cover. Furthermore, having one single artists would make more of an impact to the reader as it highlights that this particular artist has an important message to say which would encourage people to pick up my magazine and read it.
- 4. This question was extremely helpful on the institutional side of my magazine as it gives a clear indication as to what appropriate price I should sell my magazine at. The overall price I should be selling my magazine for was a total of £4 for being a most useful amount. I chose to have a different layout for this question as it made using my quiz more fun and interactive. This meant that viewers would not get bored with the same layout of results. Additionally the layout I chose was most useful to the type of question I was asking as it consisted of different options that the viewer could click for each example. This enabled me to receive an overall opinion from each individual who filled out my survey without having to ask them to perform a comment which is time consuming and inefficient.
- 5. This question helped me compare other music magazines using different opinions. I chose to use a variety of well known music magazines in the UK as it meant that I would have various opinions of music magazines my viewers should know. Additionally because my survey would capture the attention of people who are interested in magazines, I would have more efficient and effective comments which I can take forward and consider when creating my own magazine. In this particular question I focussed my main interest on the name of magazines to give me an idea of what I should include and consider when deciding a name for my magazine. Furthermore I also analysed what is effective about these particular music magazines in a different post on my blog, by comparing this data and the post together it would leave me with a good idea on what to follow when considering a name of my magazine. Overall I found that most people are into Q magazine because it is a short and simple name to remember.
- 6. In this question I focused on analysing important features that would be consisted in music magazines. Most of the majority of viewers said that a music magazine having an interesting and catchy title would be most important. I mainly agree with this point as having an interesting and catchy title would mean that fans of the magazine would find it way more easier to catch a magazine with a title consisting of those qualities as it is the first thing someone would subconsciously read. Furthermore a title of a magazine acts like a handshake in an interview. We tend to judge a magazine massively based on its title which highlights how I must take great care whilst choosing the title of my magazine.
- 7. Question 6 gives me a good idea of what type of music I should be consisting in my magazine. The types of music my magazine would have would attract different target audiences. This means I would need to include genres of music that have a high fan basis resulting in more people buying my magazine. The results I have gotten tell me that overall, 50% of people thought that R&B are a genre that is hugely adored by today's generation. The types of music genres other people have chosen allow me to understand who had been filling out my survey. For instance, people who chose classical music as an adored genre would most likely be an older generation than the ones who have chosen R&B .
- 8. This question tells me prices people find attractive which I can place in my magazine. By having this sort of information means I can sell different freebies in my magazine that a large majority of people would like to consume. Furthermore this would also attract more people to by my magazine if my magazine has something that they would like to consume. Giving freebies away would also increase the interaction that is present from the magazine to the reader. This would make them have a stronger connection with my magazine than with other magazines. Overall the highest votes was for the free concert ticket freebie which got the total of 66.7%. The second most popular freebie was a free I Tunes voucher. Overall i found that the freebies that are linked to music are the most attractive to audiences.
- 9. This question was the least useful of all my questions as it had an equal amount of likings for both my options. This therefore leaves the decision of having a weekly or monthly issue to myself. I can make this decision by weighing out the benefits and disadvantages of having a weekly or monthly issue for my magazine. Furthermore the fact that both my options have an equal opinions means that whatever option I choose, it will not have a huge impact of the production of my magazine.
- 10. This question contains what social media accounts are most used by audiences. The advantages of having this data of social media means that I can create social media accounts that are mostly used by viewers in order to advertise and gain a higher fan basis for my magazine. Additionally this also means that I am able to post news or information that would be useful to my viewers on social media concerning my magazine. This would mean that my target audiences would be easily noticeable and they would also be able to keep up to date with the performance and activities of my magazine. This makes it easier to set a date and tell my readers what is overall happening with my magazine. The majority of people said that Snap Chat Instagram and Facebook are their most used social media accounts consisting of 100%. This gives me a wider choice of what social media apps to use in order to present the information of my music magazine to my target audience.
- 11. This question gave me a rough idea of how to set out the layout for my contents page. This is useful pieces of data to have because it gives me ideas on what my audiences would be willing to see in my music magazine. From my data, I concluded that having a single page contents page was more respected than having a double page spread. However I would rather stick to having a double page spread as this would mean that I can fit more information and images onto my contents page rather than restricting the amount of things I can put in my contents page. Additionally having a double page spread would make my music magazine more eye-catching and attractive rather than having a single page.
