Summary of Initial Questionnaire

From the initial questionnaire I found put information from my target audience and researched them so I know what to put into my magazine.

One of the questions shows the majority of the people questioned prefer to have interviews in a magazine but this was nearly just as popular as pictures, news and blogs and up and coming bands. So this would be some of the things I’ll have to have in mind when I create the magazine. In one way or another I will try and incorporate some if these as this gives the target audience what they wants.

Most people preferred the black and white colour scheme that is kind of basic but I can add another colour to that so it takes in the targets audiences interests and I can still make it appealing.

Just over half the people preferred an informal magazine which there was still a few who waned the formal looking magazine, this means in my magazine I have to have a mix of formal and informal so there is a balance so each half get what they want form the magazine.

Most of the people questioned on what magazine have they recently purchased and the majority of said Vibe and 2^ND was kerrang.  This shows these magazine are some of the most popular so I could follow some of these techniques and ways they promote there magazine. By using some of these techniques these magazine use and what I’ve got from the research this  would in creating a successful magazine.

More people said the magazine should be between £3 to £4.99 and the rest of the audience said from £1 to £2.99. so the magazine should roughly be between £2 to £4 as I think this would be a fair price and would be happy for the target audience.

The question of how often do you buy a music magazine the majority of the surveyed audience sad a monthly magazine which is good as in the music industry it would be hard to write a high quality magazine for a week of news and to distribute it.
