Research

Before beginning our music magazine, we researched using current music magazines available. We analysed the covers double page spreads and contents pages of magazines that already exist, to understand the essential items needed to create an effective magazine. We realised certain similarities between all the different covers and decided to create a questionaire. So, before designing my magazine I need to establish the target audience and their personal preferances on the music magazine. For this I created a random questionnaire (also a copy supplied below) with 12 questions, the total consensus of those I asked is 30 people aged between 16-20 this meant i could directly address them with my personal ideas and see their responses. I asked an array of questions to be able to understand what they would want from a new music magazine consequently seeing the topics that are most preferred! The questionnaire allows me to produce a magazine with an audience already interested in the topics I cover within it. Below are the results of the questionnaire in bar chart form;
