1. Analysis of my Music Magazine
Questionnaire Results.

2. Q1 What is your favourite genre of
music?
Here are the results of question one. From this I have found that most people prefer
Indie music which has made me more confident about doing an Indie magazine.
The next favourite genres of music are Pop and RnB. This is good because now I
can do some feature articles on Pop or RnB artists which will appeal to a wider
range of audience as well as my targeted audience.

3. Q2 Who is your current favourite
artist/band?
This question has shown me what type of artists people prefer. The most
popular artists from people I surveyed was Coldplay and The Script. This is
good because now I can do main feature articles on these bands. I can also
do more feature articles on some of the other indie bands that people have
said are their favourite too. Asking this question will really help me to
produce my magazine stories.

4. Q3 Do you like reading music
magazines?
Yes- 9
No- 4
I don’t read music magazines- 7
This question has shown me how many people really like reading music magazines.
The majority of people who do read magazines do read music magazines, which
has gave me more assurance that certain people would enjoy to read it.

5. Q4 How often would you buy a music
magazine?
From this question, I have found out that 75% of people who filled in my
Questionnaire will buy a magazine monthly. This will help me to decide my
initial plans for my magazine and how often I will publish it. From these results I
will publish my magazine monthly.

6. Q5 How much would you pay for a
music magazine?
The majority of people surveyed said they would pay £1-£2 at 8 people. But 7
people would pay £2-£3. Because I am publishing my magazine monthly and it is
going to quite a big and full magazine with over 100 pages I will want to charge
more for it.

7. Q6 Would you buy a magazine with a
free gift in it?
Yes- 20
No- 0
Every person I surveyed said they would buy a magazine with a free gift. This shows
that people would be more encouraged to buy and attracted to a magazine with a
free gift in it. I am definitely going to include a free gift or offer in magazine after
seeing the results from this question.

8. Q7 What type of magazine do you
normally read?
This question shows me that the favourite type of magazine that people prefer to
read is gossip. Now I know that apart from just music based interviews and articles,
I will have to include some music gossip columns and maybe some music celebrity
gossip as well.

9. Q8 What do you do in your spare
time?
The results from the question are going to help me to decide on extra feature
articles for my magazine. Knowing that people are interested in dance, the gym
and playing guitar in their spare time; I could add some feature articles on those
subjects.

10. Q9 What is your favourite TV
Programme?
From the question, I received a wide variety of results. This will also help me to add
feature articles. For example, as One Tree Hill is the most popular, I could feature an
article on a character from that show talking about music.

11. Q10 What is your favourite colour?
This question will help me decide on what colours use for my front cover and
contents page. Because it is an indie magazine, I am not going to have bright
florescent colours, but I could use purple, red or blue as they are the most
favourite suitable colours for my magazine.

12. Q11 What three words would you use
to describe indie music?
In this question I got a wide range of words which people would describe indie music
as. These words can help my with my magazine title, buzz words and feature
articles. Words which frequently came up were things like, guitar, unique, exciting,
and different. This shows me that my magazine needs to be unique and different,
not just any indie magazine! I may also include some pictures and articles about
guitars as a lot of people said they would associate indie music with guitars.

13. Q12 Where do you enjoy going to see
bands normally?
From this question I can see that people prefer to go to Liverpool to
see bands, which means that I know I will need to do lots of venue
revues on places in Liverpool.

14. Q13 How old are you?
Knowing the age group of the people I have surveyed, I can compare different
age group answers to get a better view of what my target age group are
interested.

15. Q14 Gender?
Male- 5
Female- 15
This wasn’t the fairest questionnaire because I only surveyed 5 males and 15 females
but I still thought I was able to get a good variety of results.
