Questionnaire Results

Age

The pie chart to the side presents the results that I received from my questionnaires about the age of those who I asked. The biggest feedback I received was from those aged 16 which shows that my magazine needs to be appealing to those in that age group. However, I did still receive answers from those who are older than 16 and are above the age of 20. This also shows me that I need to reach out to an audience that is above the age of 20 to make all ages want to buy my magazine.

Gender

This bar chart showcases my results about gender. This is an important question as it gives me an insight into what gender is more likely to buy my magazine which in this case is the female race. However I do believe that if I was to send a questionnaire round again then I should ask more males to give me more of a wider idea on who will buy the magazine.

Do you listen to music often?

YES 100%

For this question, every person that I asked all responded with a yes to listening to music which shows me that because my magazine will be a music magazine it will be a great product on the market as a lot of people listen to music so they will want to buy a music magazine so that they can gain all the latest gossip on what's going on in the music world.

Do you listen to the indie/rock genre?

The results from this question shows that a lot of people do listen to indie/rock music which shows me that its the perfect genre to use for my magazine. Nevertheless, I did receive two questionnaires with two people expressing that they didnt listen to the indie/rock genre but rather listened to the latest pop music and music from the 70s,80s and 90s.

State three of your favourite band/singers from the indie/rock genre

This question was one of the most important questions that I asked as it gives me an idea on what sort of artists people like so that I know who should and shouldnt be featured in my magazine articles. The most popular band chosen was the Artic Monkeys which shows that I need to include them somewhere in my magazine. For the person who chose Pop music, they picked Peter Andre, Robbie Williams and ABBA as there three artists.

What is your favourite articles featured in Magazines?

I decided this was another key question that needed to be asked as it gives me an idea on what the audience like to read as there is no point in publishing a magazine on the market that no one will read as it doesnt include anything that they enjoy to read. The most popular articles appears to be interviews which highlights that in my magazine I need to feature more interviews than anything else to attract the audiences attention.

How often do you buy a magazine?

This pie chart presents how often people buy magazines. My results show that people only buy magazines sometimes rather than every week so I think for my magazine it might be a good idea to publish my magazine monthly because people may be more likely to buy it then as they wont miss out on all the latest gossip as often as a monthly magazine will publish articles about all the latest that month. Those who chose never, stated it was because they either never got round to buying magazines or would just rather read a book.

What is your favourite colour?

The bar chart presents the most popular colours that people liked. This will help me when I decide what colour scheme to go for as I want my magazine to be appealing to the eye and grab the readers attention so that they're more likely to pick my magazine up and buy it straight away. The most popular colour was light blue with dark red and dark purple being another favourite.

What three words do you associate with the indie/rock genre?

The pie chart to the side shows what words people associate with the indie/rock genre. The answers that I have collected will help me think of some possible names for my music magazine as I could use or take inspiration from the words that people have suggested. What makes you want to buy a magazine when you see the front cover?

This was a significant part to my questionnaire as it allowed me to view what caught peoples attention when they walk past the magazine section in a local store and ultimately makes them want to buy that magazine. The majority of those who I asked said that the artist featured on the front of the magazine made them want to buy it as it appealed to them which means that I need to take in consideration who I feature on the front of my magazine. The use of main articles on the front was another good point made as the feature articles on the front need to appeal to the audience so that they want to read inside the magazine and find out more.

Do you prefer there to be more text on the page?

The results represent what the audience like to see in their music magazines. More people prefer when there is more images on the page rather than the page being filled with text. However, some people who I asked preferred text over images which shows that I need to make a fair balance between images and text on my pages so that my magazine is appealing to everyone and not just certain people.

On the Contents page, Is it helpful that the page numbers are in order and bolder than the rest of the text?

For this question, everyone believed that having the page numbers larger on the contents page is better than them being small and hard to see as we use the contents page to view the page numbers in order for us to find the page we want to read quick and easy. I now know that for my contents page I need to assure that the page numbers are bold and bigger than the other text present on the page so that readers can view them easily.

Overall, by carrying out a questionnaire and collecting the information it has allowed me to gather a wider knowledge on the possible aspects that I need to include in my magazine so that I can make it appealing to the audience. I was able to collect answers on areas that I thought people would like when in reality people would rather not include such as articles that feature the latest news. I was also able to gather what colours I should use on my magazine that would be suitable for my genre as well as the type of artists and bands that I should feature on my front cover and articles that I issue.
