2. Gender
I gave my questionnaire out to a
mixture of girls and boys to see
which gender liked different
things as my magazine is not
just aimed at males but
females can also buy it. As you
can see on my results most of
the people I asked to do my
70% questionnaire where male.

3. Age
I asked the people doing my
questionnaire what their age
was so I could get a closer look
at who my target audience
would best be. The most
popular age group that came up
where 14-18 year olds, this was
mainly because the majority of
the people I asked where in the
same age group as me, as I
asked them in my school
common room.

4. Who is your favourite band?
These results clearly show that the
Arctic Monkeys are the most popular
band at this generation. Therefore I
will definitely choose to base features
such as my magazine front cover on
them, as it will draw in my target
audience to buy it. Other bands such
as The Killers, were quite popular,
and I will also feature them in my
magazine. I asked this question
mainly to find out what bands are
popular and that people like at the
moment so I can make my magazine
up to date and featuring things that
will make people want to buy it.

5. Who is your favourite solo artist
I asked this question to also find
out who I should feature in my
magazine. The most popular ones
where Jake Bugg, Miles Kane and
Noel Gallagher which I enjoy
listening to myself and know a lot
on, so shouldn’t have a problem
with including them in my
magazine.

6. How often do you buy a magazine
Every Week Every Month Every Year Never
40%
20%

15%
Most people for this question
answered with ‘every week’ for
wanting to buy a magazine. I asked
this question to find out how often
my target audience bought a music
magazine to give me an idea of when
would best be appropriate to publish
mine. The most unpopular result was
‘never’ which is good as it gives hope
that people do buy and would be
interested in my magazine.
7. What is your favourite colour
Red
Blue
Black
Silver
I asked this question to help
me to decide which colour to
make my magazine front
cover, in order for it to be
appealing to my customers. As
you can see, the colour ‘Red’
dominated and was most
peoples favourite along with
‘Black.’ due to the results, I am
most likely going to use red
and black a two of my main
colours for the magazine, as
they clearly have the better
chance of attracting my target
audience.
8. How much would you be willing to pay
for my magazine
12
The majority of the people said
they are likely to pay £2.00 for
my magazine, which is
reasonable and suits me as it
had estimated the price of my
magazine to be within the £1.00
to £2.00 range. The least
people chose £3.00+ and I
cannot argue with them
because it is a very high price to
sell a magazine for unless it has
a large content and one of the
most well known music
magazines. 0

9. Words that come to mind when
thinking of Indie Rock…
Many different results came up for this question I said that the people
doing my survey could select three, I did this to help me to come up
with a title and good words to use on my magazine that are appealling
to my target audience. Some for example, ‘Acoustic’ and ‘Gigs’ were
chosen by some of the people, that do link with Indie Rock as it is a
very acoustic based genre. However some words such as ‘Pretty Green’
were written down that also links with the clothing that Indie people
and bands like to wear. So I may choose to do a feature on the clothing
and present it on the front cover.
10. If we offered you a free poster would
you be attracted to buy the magazine?
Yes
No
As the results show, people would
enjoy getting a free poster with there
magazine that they could out up in
their room or something. Only a small
percentage of people said no, which
was 7 out of 20. therefore I will
definitely consider handing out free
things such as posters, when I am
selling my magazines.
