- 1. Female11Male9I have asked this question to find out the
whether there was a dominant gender that was interested in the
magazine or whether it would be equal. This would help me to
understand who my target audience is, I asked both genders. The
results came out at a similar number but more so female than male.
This will also help me when considering the colours I will choose
for my magazine as they will need to appeal to both genders.
Although this information is useful there wasnt an equal amount of
females and males that answered the questionnaires so the female
data could be biased.

15-16-2021-2526-3031-3536+I have asked a wide age range of people
to answer the questionnaire to get a good amount of feedback, 16-20
and 21-25 were the ages of the majority of the people who filled
out the questionnaire, this will help me in the production of my
magazine because in my initial ideas my target audience was 16-25,
so everything that was said from these people will be relevant to
me and helping me in the production of my magazine. 3. 16 14 12 10

GreyThis graph shows me what my target audience would prefer the
colours of my house style to be. In the question, I asked which
three colours would suit a magazine cover, for an Indie music
magazine. When designing my magazine cover, I will use the three
colours that the majority of people answered with. Having this
information is useful because it means I can use a house style that
will appeal to a wide range of people, instead of appealing to just
a few people. 4. I asked the question, name two of your favourite
indie artists. This graph shows what people said. This information
will give me a good idea of what artists I can put on my magazine
cover, in the cover lines and puffs. As well as the artists I can
mention on my contents page. This information means that I have a
good idea of artists to use on my magazine cover lines and contents
page. Using the most voted for artists; Jake Bugg, Vampire Weekend,
The 1975, I can make a contents page including my audiences
favourite artists. 5. 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0Weekly Fortnightly Monthly
Bi Monthly(Every two months)This graph shows how often people would
like the magazine to be published. This gives me an idea of what
date I can put on the magazine cover. I found out that the majority
of people in my target audience buy a music magazine every
fortnight. This means that if I set my frequency of publication as
a fortnightly publication, a wider range of people might want to
buy my magazine. This information is useful because it means I can
set a publication rate that people will remember and would go out
of their way to purchase my magazine. 6. I asked what people
thought would be an appropriate name for an indie rock magazine. I
received a wide range of answers, however some got mentioned more
than once. These are the ones I will consider using on my magazine
cover. My target audience came up with 4 names that came up more
than once: Clock, Fire Pitt, Brogue and Streio. This gives me the
opportunity to chose from these names. This information is useful
because it means I can use a name that my audience will find
appealing. 7. 10 9 8 7Original Individual

list of artists I could use on the magazine cover, in the cover
lines. I could also use these artists on my contents page and
double page spread, its important that I have popular bands or
artists on/in my magazine to make it appealing to my target
audience. This information is useful because it means I can use the
most popular artists, meaning more people will want to read,
because there will be interesting content. 9. 8 7 6

magazines my target audience are already reading. This gives me the
chance to look and read through these magazines, and pick out all
of the good features so that develop my own ideas for my magazine
design. It also lets me pick out the bad features so that I make
sure I don't include ideas like these in my own magazine. I found
out that the majority of people that answered my questionnaire
already read NME magazine. This means that if I read through some
NME magazines I will get a few ideas that I can use in my own
magazine. This information is very useful because it lets me know
what the people in my target audience already read. This means I
can use similar features in my own magazine making it appeal to a
wide range of NME readers. 10. 10 9 8font 17font 26font 35font

style of the magazine, this wouldnt nessaserily be different for
male or female, therefor applying to both, this would help because
its important to get the house style correct so you can portray the
genre strongly. I found out that the most popular font was font 3
on my questionnaire. This information means that I can use the font
that appeals to the majority of my audience. 11. 18 16

the main content, I asked this so I could get their opinions on the
most interesting content for my magazine. I found out that the
majority of people I asked would prefer the magazines main content
to be, reviews, interviews and gig guide. All of these features
have the same amount of votes from my audience, meaning I have the
opportunity to use all three of these features, which will make my
magazine appeal to more of my audience. This research is reliable
because I asked this question to 20 random people, meaning there
are no biased answers. 12. 14 12 10Weekly8 Fortnightly6Monthly4 2Bi

main reason my audience bought a magazine was. I found out that my
audience were mostly interested in gig guides. This information is
useful because it means I can put the most popular content, as
regular content for my magazine. Meaning that the regular content
alone, will attract a wider audience. 14. Yes30No0I asked this
question to simply see if what I was planning as the magazines
feature article, would be appealing to the audience. I found out
that all of the people I asked, agreed that this would be
interesting for the feature content of the magazine. This
information will be useful when I design my magazine, because it
means when I design the cover. I can use artist interviews as the
cover page, cover lines. This will make the magazine more appealing
and will make people more interested of what the magazines feature
content would be.
