Audience Research Results.

1: Are you..

• Male: 10

• Female: 10

• With this question I tried to question an even number of both genders as I feel it would give me more thorough and un-biased results which I could then base my magazine on. I felt that this was important because I am now able to feature articles in my magazine that both genders would enjoy. Using this research I am able to create articles where both males and females will find interested so it will not just be a ‘Mens’ or ‘Womens’ magazine.

2: How old are you

• The target audience for my magazine is from 15-24 so I mainly focused on getting results from this age group, as you can see. I felt this would be relevant because I could then base my magazine on the results that this age group gave to me. On this question, I questioned more 15-19 year olds as that is the main age group that I want to concentrate my magazine upon, so getting results from them will be me a stronger idea of how to create my magazine.

3: What sub-genre of rock do you prefer?

• I felt this question would give me an idea of what to sub-genres of rock to feature in a weekly issue of my magazine. From these results I will now feature more progressive-rock articles than Grunge articles. If I feature more prog-rock articles, it will keep the majority of the readers happy, however I will still feature other sub-genres to keep the minority happy.

4: What would you rather see featured in a magazine?

• With this question I am able to get an idea of what sort of things I should feature in my magazine, from New albums reviews to posters. I think these results will give me a strong idea as to what I put in my magazine, and because the audience would like to see more of one thing than another, I will follow my results.

5: Which magazine name would you associate with a rock music magazine?

• I asked this question as I was unsure of what to call my rock music magazine, however the results from these questions are pretty even and still do not give me a strong idea of what to name my magazine. But I will cancel it down to 4 different names that I can pick from, from there it would just be personal preference.

6: How often would you buy a magazine?

• I asked this question because I was unsure of what the frequency of publication would be of my own magazine, however from the results I have gathered I will most likely make mine a weekly released magazine with around 70 pages.

7: How much would you spend on a weekly magazine?

• I had a fairly good idea of what to price my magazine at already however, researching the matter would still be helpful. Using these results I will probably price a newly made magazine at around £2.20-£2.90. I will put my magazine at this price because of the fact that it is a new magazine.

8: Would you rather see interviews with…

• I believe that this question would help me decide what interviews to feature in my magazine, and according to this the majority of people would want interviews with more famous bands.

10: What page layout would you associate with a rock music magazine?

• Using the results from this question I am now able to choose between two different page layouts, Messy or minimalistic. Because the majority of the rock genre magazines have a messy layout, I will most likely follow the same process.

11:What Rock magazine do you normally buy?

• I asked this question because using these results I would then be able to base my magazine on an already existing one. I would do this because if people preferred a KERRANG magazine, I could then revolve my magazine around KERRANG too, therefore people will enjoy mine.
