Research and Planning: Audience questionnaire results

 Here is the results that I got from my questionnaires. I asked 15 people from different ages and different genders to fill the questionnaires. With these results they will help me produce my music magazine cover. It will also give me an idea of what to include on my contents page and the double page spread.

 I asked people this question because I wanted to get an idea of whether people buy music magazines. 1/3 of the people that I passed the questionnaire to said that they bought music magazines regularly, whereas 2/3's of the people said that they don't buy music magazines regularly. From this research I have found that the majority of people don't buy music magazines and may use other things like websites or apps on the phones to read the magazines.

 I asked people this question because I wanted to know which artists were the most popular. This helped me because now I know which artist to make as my main article. The artist with the most is Eminem with 47%. With this I know which artist to include if needed. I also know to make the model similar to Eminem in some way, through the way his dressed etc. I will also include the following artists that were also mentioned which are Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars and Wiz Khalifa.

 I asked this question because I was going to call my magazine AUTHORITY, but I wanted to know whether to call it that so I asked the public. The majority all said yes to the masthead name, therefore I am going to call my ,magazine when I produce it AUTHORITY.

I asked this question because I wanted to know whether there should be a male or female model on the front cover of my music magazine. More people preferred to have a male. I believe that more people chose male because the genre of music is more male based so the people would of gone of that. When I come to produce my magazine I am going to use a male model because more people wanted male than female.

I asked this question because I wanted to know which 3 colours that I should use as my colour scheme when I come to produce my magazine. Most people said blue, black and red were all colours which would all be associated with this genre of music. With these results I will consider using this colour scheme for my music magazine cover.

I asked this question because I wanted to know what shot type the model should be on my magazine cover. Most people said a mid-shot so when i take pictures of the model I will take different shots but I will defiantly include a mid-shot in the magazine. For my contents page and my double page spread I will include all of the shots above to have a variety in my magazine.

I asked this question because i wanted to know how many cover lines should be on the front cover. I wanted to know this so that there is not a cluster of stories on the magazine cover but enough to interest the reader. Most people said 5 cover lines which I see as reasonable so when I make my magazine cover I will have 5 cover lines, with one of them being the main cover line which is related to the model on the front.
