Finalupload survey resultspresentation
- 2. From looking at the analysis of this question am now able to see that my target audience can be narrowed down to being more popular within a female audience. But since roughly 60% were female, its clear that there around just under half of the people who answered were male. This makes me think, because females didn’t completely over rule the male, that my magazine should cater to a more unisex target audience.
- 3. This question very clearly displays the fact that most of the people who are interested in my magazine, are mostly in the age group 16-20. This is evident as 15 people were in this age group, where as only 6 people answered otherwise. I can also see that an age range that I will not have to after my magazine to is 31-40 as nobody answered for this. I now am aware that I am going to cater my magazine to a young target audience, so I can begin looking at how this as been done in existing magazines; which I can develop into my work.
- 4. After handing out my questionnaire I saw that 17 out of the 21 people I asked were most definitely interested in music. Also I had no responses that claimed they were not. This is beneficial for my questionnaire as I know that everyone who answered the questionnaire is suitable and will know how to help me with the development of my magazine. In other words, I am not wasting any of the responses on people who wouldn’t be buying a music magazine and who aren’t even interested in music.
- 5. This part of my survey allowed me to see the genres that were most popular from the responses I received. I can see that pop music was the most commonly chosen, which was what I was expecting to happen. However what I didn’t expect to see was that alternative was the second most popular answer. This means that I could incorporate elements of this genre into my magazine as alternative and rock music can be linked together. This would mean that I would have a larger, more varied target audience, compared to if I was to just se rock; due to the low amount of responses.
- 6. I can see that the people who answered the questions don’t often buy magazines. This implied that in my magazine I will include more information. For example, I would use a months worth of information rather than a weeks worth, as I know that they would buy these magazines less frequently. Even those who answered ‘never’ will have answered relevantly as they may not buy music magazines but they may buy other genres of magazine.
- 7. I can see clearly that the most popular answer was that my target audience is attracted to their ‘favourite artist on the cover age. This implies that I am going to use photo of an artist that is very clear of who it is , so this can apply to all of those who answered this. Also ‘the colours’, ‘titles’ and ‘featured artists’. This is evidence that will impact my magazine as I am going to include features artists (perhaps interviews or posters), and pay attention to the colours and titles being fitting to the rock genre of the magazine.
- 8. NME and Billboard were the two most popular magazine brands that y target audience answered. This gives me an idea of what the majority of young people enjoy. This means that I can move on from this by looking into billboard and NME magazines, particularly their front covers and what aspects are attracting this audience. I have already done but I want to look closer into NME magazines particularly as this is that same genre as the one I have chosen.
- 9. As I can see that many answered yes or neutral, and only one parson answered no I am likely to include free gifts in my magazine. I will mention that the magazine contains free gifts on the cover page. as this is the first thing people will see. This will probably be in a puff as this will entice them if it is bold and clearly visible on the page.
- 10. As all of the gift options were chosen an equal about of times, this may mean that I will have to determined what I will include in my magazine. I could decide by looking at other popular magazines to see the gifts they use. Using posters would mean that on the page I could have smaller previews, but this would mean having to take more photographs of different artists. I would like to do this but I may not have enough time. This is something I will make a decision on when I start planning my
