From my questionnaire I have identified

aspects of magazines that are most preferred
from a selection of people in a random
sample. By interpreting the data into charts
and graphs found from the questionnaire
feedback, it gave a clear indication in terms
of numbers as to the popularity of certain
features in a music magazine. The most
important feedback that was received was
what genre of music magazine would be
most preferred. This was identified by asking,
what is your favourite genre of music this
gave an indicator as to what content would
be most successful in appealing to a
audience. The genre that was prove by the
questionnaire and charts to be most popular
was the pop genre; this then meant there
was a focus and target audience to work
towards for the music magazine.

asked was pop. From the chart it can be seen that is
was twice as popular as other genres such as
alternative music.

The most common and distinct response for this is

question was 11-20. This shows that the people
questioned downloaded quite a lot of music. This allowed
content of the music magazine to be distinguished, for
example having a top 20 music list for 2014.

The most popular response to this question was 1- 2 hours of

listening to music in a day. Therefore there was a high percentage
of people who listened to music everyday which showed that the
inclusion of new releases and albums of music might be essential
in the magazine to gain the popularity for the magazine.

From this chart it can be seen that other a very small percentage of
people from the sample buy four (plus) magazines a month.
Therefore it is important making sure the magazine stands out over
any competing magazine.

From this chart is obvious that the general response is that people
would prefer not to spend over 1.50 on magazine. However other
considerations could affect the response to this question, for example
whether the magazine is issued weekly or monthly.

The charts gave more specific responses

as well as giving a indication of the most
popular genre. Other aspects important
to the presentation of the magazine
were considered in the questionnaire
too. For example, finding out whether a
informal or formal style would be most
preferred. This information is vital to
knowing the direction that should be
taken on font choices, layout and image
used. Other questions asked even more
specific which focused on the type of
content most preferred. Fore example
the question, what kind of content
would you prefer to read in a music
magazine, was a very direct question
which would give clear course to the
content of the magazine.

Informal

Formal

Although this question was simplistic, it was important in

identifying the most popular approach in terms of style
most preferred by a selection of people who
represented a larger target market.

The data gained from this question was harder to interpret. This question provoked
a number of popular responses which showed that people would most like to read
about interviews was artists, upcoming festivals and reviews on latest albums/
songs. This showed that people were more interested in the inclusion of music
compared to music gossip which may have entered the genre of pop culture slightly.

Yes

No

The question was asked to gain an understanding of whether people were generally
interested in festivals. This may have been a more controversial question as festivals arent
to everyone's taste, however they were identified from the data found to be very popular.
Therefore this gave ideas as to how the idea of festivals could be incorporated into the
content for the music magazine.
