Male or female:

The majority of the people who filled out my questionnaire were female and slightly lower were male. This means the result would be bias to certain questions.

Age range:

The results show that mainly 15-17 year old would be interested in the magazine, so the result will be slightly bias. It will still appeal to 15-21 year olds, but a little verged to the younger side with older additions.

How often do you buy a magazine:

The results show that the majority of the pupils that answered said that they either buy a magazine once a month or never. So I will make my magazine so it has monthly editions.

Favourite colour:

The colour with the most votes was blue, then red, then white. My magazine colour scheme will revolve around these colours which is convenient as it is the British flag colours.

Favourite Artist:

This shows that people’s favourite type of artist is a solo artist. This will help me decide the front cover in inside article feature so people will be interested in reading about their favourite kind of artist.

What is the most you will pay for a magazine:

These results show that my target audience who are presumably in full-time education so they cannot afford £4 magazines, so I will minimise my price so it is affordable.

Favourite shape:

I did this question so I could decide which shape to do the puff in so it appealed to my audience.

Most interested in reading:

It is clear that people really wish to know about new album releases. So I will involve that in a quite large percentage in my magazine. Next is meeting the band, so I will cover various aspects in meeting the band and when they are touring and releasing albums.

This has helped me know what my target audience would rather see on the cover. This result is a female would be more appealing. Along with the favourite type of artist, I now know that my front cover will be a female solo artist to appeal to my audience.

Promotional offers:

To promote my magazine, I will offer a certain amount of posters as that would interest people to buy my magazine. People also would like freebies so that may added to gain more buyers.

Least interested in reading:

This shows that people are not interested in reading about an interview. So in my magazine I will keep the interviews to a minimum and more things the audience wants.

Simple or busy cover:

The results show that a simple cover only slightly appeals more. So I will make a simple cover and maybe make the contents busier to appeal to the other majority.

This question was to help me decide what kind of name my magazine would have. The results show that a simple one worded magazine name would be better than a two worded magazine.

Exclusive bands or interviews:

This proves that my audience is more interested in finding out about new bands than interviews. So on the cover of my magazine, I will enlarge the fact I have exclusive bands so I will gain more buyers.

Prefer old or new indie band:

My target audience are more interested in older indie music. So in my magazine I will try and involve the fact that older indie bands are still around and what they are doing now and the greatest songs.

Would you enter competitions:

It is simply shown that depending on the competition, people would enter. So I have to make sure that if I do include competitions, they have to be interesting so that people would wish to enter them.

How many pages:

YesNoDepends

In a previous question it said people would rather buy magazines monthly. So this question helps it along as people would rather buy a magazine with a lot of pages. So I could do more and sell monthly instead of more often with fewer pages.

What attracts you to a magazine:

It is clear to state that a cover image is what attracts a person most to a magazine, so I have to make sure I have an appealing cover. A colour scheme also seems important to the people answering the questions, so that was also be a key inside to my cover.

Do you like advertisements in magazines:

Only slightly do people I asked like advertisements in magazines. So I will include a fair few to reach out to my audience. I will include a few full page advertisements.

It is shown that there is a wide choice in indie bands. The only bands mentioned more than once were The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys, The View, The Drums, The Kooks Coldplay & Beast Coast. I will try and include the more popular bands so people know some of the more well known bands along with some newer ones too.
