1. Questionnaire Results
By Saba Kebede

2. Genre of Music
The pie chart for “Genre of Music” clarifies what genre of music is the most popular within
my target audience. It is evident that R&B is the most popular genre, as with Hip/Hop and
Rap Music. Therefore, in my music magazine I am going to make sure that I will be focused
on that specific genre, as more people will attracted to it. As R&B and Hip Hop/Rap are
classified as similar genre’s I will research them and make sure that I choose one. Some
people also like Rock and Pop, but UK Grime, Classical and Jazz and Club Classics will not be
featured in my music magazine due to unpopular demand.

3. Favourite Artist
This pie chart identifies the popularity of artists, and in which who will be featured in my
music magazine. It is evident here that Beyonce is the most popular artist, therefore
Beyonce will be featured in the magazine. However, Pixie Lott, Jessie J and Professor
Green won’t be featured. However, seeing Pixie Lott, Jessie J are both artists whose music
originates from R&B music, their music can still inspire me in my music magazine. The
people that were surveyed helped in letting me know whose type of music would
potentially be relevant for my magazine.

4. Colour Scheme
The colour scheme that is the most popular here is Grey, Black and Blue and I think that
these colours are relevant for my music magazine. The reason for this is because when I
researched other magazines with the same genre of music as my music magazine will be, I
found that the magazine “Vibe” has got the same colour scheme as mine, and therefore
can be of great inspiration to my music magazine. The magazine “Vibe” is also based on
R&B music, therefore I can gather information from my research of this specific magazine
and extract key information from their values into my magazine.

5. Features in the Magazine
From this information gathered about what will feature in my music magazine, it is clear
that celebrity gossip has to be included as it’s the most popular feature. Seeing as the
surveyed people’s favourite artist is Beyonce, the celebrity gossip provided in my music
magazine would be about Beyonce. Interviews are the second most popular feature, and
still many people do approve of interviews, and so I will make sure that interviews can
appear within my magazine alongside the celebrity gossip. Consequently, articles and
artist album reviews won’t be featured.

6. Price
This data shows that the pricing of my music magazine will be between the prices £2.70 -
£3.20. However, this data also portrays that people will pay less than this amount for a
music magazine. The fact that the popular amount, is not the cheapest, neither is it the
most expensive price is effective, because people will want to buy it if they think it is worth
the guaranteed price. The price of £3.30 - £4.00 is the least popular because it’s the most
expensive for the music magazine, so I won’t range the pricing to that amount, because it
won’t be bought. However, as this data portrays that mainly, the prices between £2.30 -
£3.20 is the most popular, then I would have to figure out which one is the most
approachable after researching other relevant music magazine of the same genre of music.

7. Publication Frequency
The frequent publication for my music magazine is a monthly, therefore will be based on a
monthly basis. It is clear that the people surveyed are not so interested about music
magazines, otherwise a weekly would off been the most popular option, as they would
want more out of that specific company. I can deduce that from this fact, music magazines
are not frequently used. Therefore, to engage my audience, my magazine should be
appealing, attractive and alluring, so that more people would approach it, and hopefully
like it. Fortnightly magazines are the second most popular then weekly magazines.

8. Masthead Font
The most popular masthead font is “Champagne and Limousines” and therefore I will make
sure that I include this specific font in my music magazine. “BIRTH OF A HERO” is the second
popular, then “CAPTURE IT” and “ROUGH DRAFT” coming afterwards. I think that the font
“Champagne and Limousines” is the most popular font because it’s clear and readable as
oppose to the other fonts classified above. I personally like this font as well because it is
understandable and refine. I also think that the font “BIRTH OF A HERO” has a more gothic
approach to it, in which will contradict the genre of my music magazine which is R&B. As a
result of this, “Champagne and Limousines” is more of an R&B style font in which is
appropriate and relevant for my music magazine.

9. Favourite Music Magazine
It is clear that the music magazine “Vibe” is the most attractive and appealing magazine to
those who were surveyed. When researching this particular music magazine, I found that
some aspects of the “Vibe” has the same colour scheme as I had intended for my music
magazine, due to the fact that both my music magazine and “Vibe” are based around the
R&B genre of music. The genre of “NME” magazine is Pop, as well as “CLASH” magazine.
Whereas “Q” magazine is also of Pop music but also Rock and Roll music as well. However,
“Vibe” is associated with R&B, Urban and Hip Hop music, in which is relevant for my music
magazine.
