1. 1) The simple straight forward closed question, was a
key element to my questionnaire because age is one
of the main categories, along with gender, that
allows producers to categorise their audiences to
create a magazine that specifically targets their
target audience. As you can see the majority were
sixteen years old at 53% (17 applicants), with equal
amounts of applicants seventeen and eighteen
(16%- 10 applicants) and the youngest age of
fifteen (3%- 1 applicant), with the older ages of
nineteen (3%- 1 applicant) and over twenties
creating the minority (9%- 3 applicants). Therefore,
the target audience of my magazine is going to be
16-18 year olds as they had the biggest influence on
my survey

2) Luckily by chance I got equal
amounts of male and females who
filled in my survey. This will reduce the
bias of gender on each of my questions
and mean I will get a clear idea of how
gender effects music choices and
whether I should aim my magazine at
males or females or both.
3) This question was so I could see what my applicants
where currently reading or what genre of magazine they
liked. I din’t specify this question just to the genre music
because I knew many of my applicants don’t read them
and therefore my question would become pointless as I’d
find out something I already knew. My resulted show that
the majority- ten people said they do not read any
magazines. This suggests to me that there is no magazine
currently on the market that interests them enough to
want to read it. Therefore, a gap in the market possibly
for my magazine. Interestingly, six of those ten were
sixteen and this supports my decision to create a
magazine that is different aimed at 16-18 year old as
there’s potential to create a magazine they’re attracted to.
The females liked gossip and fashion magazine so if I was
to aim it at afemale audience I could include fashionable
artists and have features of celebrity musician’s gossip.
Focussing on music magazines, five applicants read NME,
proving it to be the most popular music magazine, with
Kerrang being read by two applicants. With the exception
of two applicants being female, males were the ones who
said they read these music magazines. This brings up the
question of do I aim my magazine at a male audience
because I know it exists or go for something new and aim
it at females hoping to fill a gap in the market?

5) This question was key for me to get an idea of
what genres my target audience listen to and

be so it appeals to them. Pop/chart music came
out on top which I expected as teenagers are

chart music. A quarter of applicants said they

there is potential to persuade them to prefer the

conveys that my magazine will have to follow the
genre of pop/chart music with strong elements of
rock.

7) This is a detailed bar chart of which artists the applicants liked. Beyonce and Eminem proved to be equally
as popular with four applicants each saying they liked them. Artic Moneys and Green day also came up a few
times, along with Fall Out Boy conveying that applicants favoured the soft rock genre with an element of pop
because of the popularity of Rihanna, Rizzle Kicks, Katy Perry, Mcfly and Little Mix. This again supports my
idea of creating a magazine with the genre of soft rock and pop.
8)This question is similar to question six but it
emphasises the need to include interviews and
festival information, shown through exciting
images. It also indicated to me that my
audience does not want artist features or my
magazine to be devoted to a particular artist
because that would eliminate a huge majority
of potential buyers

4. 9) This was a direct question, so I could
establish how much to sell my magazine
for. Teenagers do not stereotypically do
not have a lot of money because of their
student status so £2 seems a realistic
price and this was the most popular in
this question.
