Music Magazine SurveyAnalysis of result

Question 1: All of those who took the test were between 16-22. However, this is most likely because I shared the link on facebook, which is targeted at a younger audience.The rest of the answers I have gotten will therefore be saying something about the people in this age. Based on this information I choose to aim my magazine at the age group 16-22, with content that appeal to younger people rather than old.

Question 2: Only females took my test. Analyzing the rest of the responses, I will use the information to aim the magazine at my audience. This means that the magazine I create will be more aimed towards female than men. I will be doing this by including content as music gossip, that female are more willing to read than men. I’ll present artists that more women than men listen to. The majority of my respondents being female, shows that they’re more open to trying new things, which means that if I place questionaries and contests in my magazine, they will be the most likely to answer them

Question 3: This graph shows us what my target audience favorite music genre is. Among the majority, rock was the most popular, follow by other and then funk. This graph gives me an idea of sort of music my target audience likes the best. Therefore I am going to base my magazine on the rock genre. Some people liked funk the best, but a very small presentage.

Question 4: Majority of the answerers purchase music magazines every other year, some once a week, a great part once every moth and some once a year. Releasing an issue every other year, would therefore benefit me the most. But since a large number of people only buy music magazines once every other years, I believe the current once does not excite and interest them that much. This leads me to think I should make my magazine some different from the present once, so more would people would want to buy it more frequently.

My reviewers would be willing to spend around 2-3 pounds on a music magazine, but most of them are students. Since most students don’t have that much money, I would rather put the price around 2 pounds, as more people would most likely buy my magazine then. Though some people would be willing to pay more, I won’t set the price that high, as I’ll likely lose potential audience, because they find the price to expensive.

Question 5:The top 5 content, my audience would like in their music magazine is: InterviewsLatest newsQ&AProduct reviewsEssay and opinion articles

Using this information I can produce content aimed for my audience. This way my magazine will be more attracting to them. The most popular content people wanted to see was interviews. I found this question very helpful, as I now have a clear indicator on what content my audience wants to see.

The colours people most those who took my survey associate with the rock genre, are black and red. If I use these colours in my magazine, I will attract the audience my magazine is aimed for. Knowing this I will use a lot of black and red, to communicate what changer my magazine is, so I easier can attract my target audience.

Most of those who took my survey, were students. Students normally have that much money, therefore I think a price between 1-2 pound, would benefit me the most. Using this information, I can make choices whilst making my magazine, that will attract and be interesting for my audience.

Q and Kerrang are my responders favourite magazines. Analysing these magazine, I can see what choices they have made and apply them to mine, so I attract my audience. Q being the favourite, the audience must like the content and the way the magazine portrays it’s musician and articles. Kerrang being the second favourite shows that the audience also like music magazines that’s only about one shanger. Kerrange is a rock magazine, that I can familiarize with, as I am making a rock based magazine as well. Looking on their house style, chose of artists, layout, etc, I can make sure I’ve made the right choices in communicating the rock changer of my magazine.
