Survey ResponsesEmma Staines

A considerable proportion of my responses were completed by females however, I will still aim for a unisex audience as this will enable me to reach a wider audience.

The majority of my responses were from people 17 or younger, which is good however, I am looking to aim at my magazine at people no younger than 16 and no older than 28.

Just over half of my responses said they would purchase a magazine on a monthly basis which is what my original plan was. This is because I got include a range of content and it wouldn’t be repetitive.

This question was to be mainly help with my decision on price with regard as how much disposable income they will have and the type of people that would purchase my magazine.

Half of the responses said their favourite feature of a magazine they currently read was the layout – I also believe this is key to making the magazine looking professional and the text and images clear.

Other responses include colour schemes and masthead.

The overall price that people would be willing to pay is between £2-4. This is a reasonable price which I definitely will try to stick within.

This question allowed the participant to select more than one answer. The two most popular responses were regarding images and interviews being their favourite features in a music magazine. The close third response was about including Chart Lists which is definitely something I was considering and now will look into further.

One response left a comment (pictured below.) This is a fantastic response and one I will look into, the only potential issue is whether it will suit a POP music magazine.

This question received two popular responses regarding the amount of text and images I should use. 5/12 said they would prefer small amounts of texts and images and 6/12 said the would prefer more images than text. I am looking to use mainly dominant images and possibly an interview but that is broken down and doesn’t look overwhelming to read.

The colour scheme(s) most popular with the respondents was bright and vibrant or neutral. I am looking to follow a neutral colour scheme but due to the responses I may include pops of colour to brighten the magazine.

The large majority of responses said they would like the magazine to have an online presence of social media which is definitely something I want to create. This is so my magazine can reach a wider audience and fit in with daily life.
