What gender are you?

I asked a range of different aged people to

complete my questionnaire so I could find

out about different audiences however, I

focused mainly on 16-18 year olds as they

are my target audience.

I focused on an even amount of males and

females as my target audience doesn’t

specify a gender.

Magazine

The majority of the people that answered ‘yes’

were in the 16-18 age group, this reassures

me that my target audience are interested in

buying music magazines and could buy mine if

it’s completed to a high standard.

The magazine ‘Vibe’ (rap & hip-hop genre)

was the one most people stated they

purchased, this tells me that my magazine is

a popular genre and will receive a lot of

attention. On the other hand i now know that

i need to make my magazine unique as it

has a lot of competition.

Most people were willing to pay £1.50 to

£2.50, this is the average price for a

magazine. This information is valuable as I

know not to over price my magazine.

Hip-hop was the most popular

choice which proves I have chosen

the correct genre for my target

audience.

What attracts you to your

favourite magazine? Pictures

Stories and news

Free girfts and vouchers

Quizes, Surveys and competitions

If you were to purchase a music

magazine, what would you expect to

see inside?

celebrity interviews

music charts

info on new albums and videos

More than ½ of the people chose

‘pictures, stories & news’ This supports

my initial ideas which suggest that I use

lots of pictures.

The results were very close, this

tells me that I need to include

aspects of every answer in my

magazine.

Most people opted for 2 magazines a month. In fact, the people that

went with this choice were the ones that claimed they enjoyed Hip-hop

music. This information tells me that my target audience are purchasing

magazines regularly which means it’s likely that my magazine will be

bought.
