1. AS Media Studies - MUSIC MAGAZINE
QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS
Opening question
This question had
defined the individuals’
gender. This was
particularly important
for my Music Magazine
research as I needed a
bigger number of
females filling the
questionnaire as the
magazine will mainly
target the female
gender, however having
males complete the
questionnaire also gives
their opinions, which is
equally significant.
Gender (M/F)

This depicts the age
group of all the
individuals. This
helps to attain all
features
manipulated in the
final Music
Magazine front
cover, the contents
and the double page
spread, based on
the opinions of
those who
completed the
questionnaire.
Most of the people I had given the questionnaire to were 16-20 year olds as this is my target
audience, therefore their opinions will have a big influence on my Main Task.

2. Q1.
In which particular aspect of a
magazine front cover draws
your attention?
10%
The main image
10%
The main headline
10%
name of the magazine
70%
A promotion (WIN! Or
free posters)
This question significantly
concluded what particular
element of a magazine
cover people prefer and
find the most eye catching
when they look at a
magazine. Most of the
individuals had chosen The
Main image, only 1 person
chose the main headline,
the name of the magazine
and a promotion. With this
data I will create an eye
catching magazine front
cover that will appeal to the
age group of individuals.
Q2.
What genre of music magazine
Rap
do you read?
0%
Rock
0%
Classic Country
0%
0%
R&B
33%
Pop
67%
Thamina Lipa Chowdhury
As you can see there were 6
genre options and only 2
were chosen, this shows
which genre is more
popular and which are
more interesting. Pop was
the popular genre out of all
of the options, these
answers were ideal as my
Music Magazine will be a
POP genre magazine.
Therefore all of the
elements and features that
I materialize in my Main
task; I will do this based on
the chosen selections.
3. Q3.
What price range do you think
is suitable for a magazine?
0%
The price range that was
selected more often was
£0.99-£1.99. Therefore I
will use this as my price for
my Magazine front cover.

Q4.
How often do you read a
magazine?
0%
Weekly
Monthly
Annually
100%
Thamina Lipa Chowdhury
From deconstructing the
results of how often a
magazine is preferred to
be released, it is monthly.
This is the preferred
selection made from all
the students who had
completed the
questionnaire. A monthly
issue of the magazine will
help readers keep in touch
and read about celebrity
news and new music
often, it is at a reasonable
issue time length with a
reasonable price. Weekly
and Annually have not
been selected.
4. Q5.
Interested in an editor's letter
in the contents page?
50%
50%
Yes
No
Yes and No were both
selected equal amount
of times for this
particular question. An
editor’s letter is
interesting for some
and for others they feel
it is unnecessary.
However I will add my
own editor’s letter, it
gives a wide range of
options for the readers
to view and read from
the magazine.
Q6.
In a double page spread, would you prefer the
image to be on one page and the article on the
other page, or would you prefer to have the image
and the article to be spread over both pages?
0%
Image and interview/article
spaced over two pages
1 image and article on two
separate pages
100%
It has been clearly justified which option is most preferred, this is “image and interview/article spaced
over two pages”. Therefore I will use this option and materialize this in my double page spread.
