I have given three different artists to choose from, each which represents a different style of music,
meaning people could select which they would prefer, which gives an accurate result of the sorts of
artists which I should feature in my magazine. However I chose the three artists which you had to
choose from so some people may not have been able to choose a preference.

read?

option was pictures so they will also be included.

appears to be supermarkets, probably because of the easy accessibility. If I were to sell this
magazine I would sell it in all of the above ways.

Indie
Pop

I have covered a few different music types for the audience to choose their preference. I think that

who would read indie alternative magazines would like.

my cover stands out.
6. What do you like reading about in music magazines?
Festivals, concerts, Bands, Forums, Credible artists.
Do you like receiving freebies?
Yes
No

my target audience is relatively young I think that this may be the reason they are interested in
freebies, this result may be biased but as my magazine is aimed at 16-25 year olds I think that the
result is accurate.
What types of articles interest you?

Comical
This result provides me with the knowledge I need to know what to include in my magazine. Most
people have chosen either comical or review, therefore I will try to include both of those genres into

options.
