Researching into potential target audience

1. What sort of things do you automatically think of when seeing this?

2. What genre of music do you think this magazine is?

3. Would you say this magazine is eye catching and why?

4. Do you think the main image relates to the type of magazine?

5. What do you think the target audience is for this? What gender and age?

6. Do you think the way it’s been written is appropriate and correct for the target audience?

7. What do you think is good about this magazine?8. What do you think could be improved about this cover?9. Do you think that theirs already similar magazines out there?10. What could they do in order to make their magazine

unique?

After looking through all 20 responses from the 10 questions I had decided to just write up 6 of them for each question and put a couple of responses into one as they became really repetitive.

How will this research affect my ideas?

When looking at the responses on questions like what makes the magazine stand out a lot of people picked out that the colour and the use of bold text, this says something that if a majority of the people I asked said it then, it’s probably what most other people would say attracted them most when looking at the front cover. Something else that I can take from doing this primary research is that when im choosing what type of colours and fonts to use ill make sure it appeals to both girls and boys but obviously I know that the main target audience is young girls so most of the content will be aimed at girls but anyone can read it.
