Survey analysis
- 2. 60% of people answered male, this gives me a good sample of the readership gender. However, I personally think tastes in content differ very little between genders when it comes to niche music genres.
- 3. It would seem the overall preference sways more towards Deep House. All the other subgenres will at least get a mention, but according to these statistics, Deep House and Bassline will be the focus of the magazine.
- 4. The readership is entirely within the age of 16-24. This statistic dictates the attitude and discourse of the language I will use in the magazine. This age range suggests a less formal structure. Finding the age demographic also influences content.
- 5. This question helps establish that there is at least a partial market for the magazine. This might also help me figure out how many references I make to other media outlets, like other magazines or websites.
- 6. The general opinion on subscriptions shown in these replies shows that I should not include subscription offers, or at least only give a small mention to a subscription. The difference between the two sets of answers suggests that some people might be willing to subscribe. For this I might include a more persuasive, yet reduced section on subscriptions.
- 7. This was an open question, and the overwhelming response is of red being the predominant colour, blue also gets a mention, but wont stand out as much on the page. This answer shows that I could either include elements of both colours, or focus more specifically on one. I believe the latter would help forge the style of the genre.
- 8. These answers will govern how much of each feature I put in. This tells me that the focus should be slightly towards good photos and reviews. However other features will be included, just maybe not as frequently.
- 9. In Summary • The ‘gender’ of the magazine is irrelevant because of the specialist genre. • The specific focus of the music will be more towards Deep House and Bassline. Other subgenres will get a mention
