QUESTIONAIRE

Question one of my survey simply asks how the target audience would like their magazine contents to be laid out. Almost 60% of the reply’s I got back stated that the audience preferred a house theme including something interesting to draw the eye such as a mind-blowing image that immediately catches you’re attention.

Question two asks how the audience would like their magazine cover laid out. There was a tied response between ‘Large image with small text’ and ‘Just something that draws you in as a person’ Analysing this has helped me to understand that many people love large images, but at the same time, Would prefer an image that that stands out to them. This means I have to think of many ways to cater to the audiences preferences.

Questions four to six simply ask how the audience likes their lay out. I want to create a house style and to do that, I need a base and colour scheme. The audience wants a magazine that doesn’t beat around the bushes, they want pure rock but with a presentation that is unique. This is where my Ideas are beginning to form in my head.

Now, those who I have asked between that ages of 11-18 say they like some rock songs, but are not a huge fan of the genre as a whole. So I later on decided to ask those over google plus who are over 18, it proves that the more mature generation understand the music and listen to it for both the words, meaning and the beat of the music itself.

Question seven askes what the favourite band is of the audience asked. Many of the older target audience go with the classics such as Guns N Roses. Some of the younger generation go for Linkin Park and Evanscence. This proves that I have a wide range of artist to look at in order to capture my audience. For the audiences that do not like rock, this magazine will not be aimed at their tastes as their opinion on what should be in it does not matter. I have also learned through gaining answers from this questionnaire, that there is a wide majority of audiences 12+ that much prefer easy listening such as Hip hop…which asks more questions than answers considering it can be a rather violent genre. There are many in the world who show an appreciation for instruments, so If I was to include a musical spread, I would add the things that show an appreciation for those instruments.
