QUESTIONNAIRE CONCLUSION
Katie Lewis
WHAT IS YOUR GENDER? From my questionnaire, 17 females and
3 males answered it. This tells me that I should base my magazine more for females because more females answered my questionnaire so I have more of an idea on what females want included in the magazine.
The chart is showing the results of 17 females and 3 males.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU BUY MUSIC MAGAZINES?
From my questionnaire, the results were varied for this question. No one answered to buying a music magazine weekly which influences me to not make mine a weekly one. Eight people said they buy a music magazine monthly which is an idea for me. Only two people said they buy one every fortnight which tells me not to sell my magazine every fortnight. 10 people said they only buy one sometimes, never, every few months and very little. This is telling me maybe they don't really like any of the music magazines out, so based on my results I am going to choose my magazine to be published monthly because the people who chosen the other category, still buy one just not on regular intervals. The chart shows the results that
10 people answered with any other, 2 people answered with every fortnight, 8 people answered with monthly and no one answered with weekly.
How often do you buy music magazines?
Weekly
Monthly Every fortnightAny other
WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE ROCK BANDS?
My results shown that the most popular rock band is ACDC as four people chosen them. This suggests that they could be my main article or my main image. Followed by that are Muse, Foo Fighters and Guns and Roses which got 2 votes. I may use these for my cover lines , subsidiary images or in my contents page. All the rest only got one so I wont include them as they don’t seem as well liked as the rest.

WHAT ARE YOUR 3 FAVOURITE DARK COLOURS?
From my questionnaire, it is shown the most liked dark colour is black as 17 people chosen it. Followed closely, red got 14 and blue got 13. These three colours were the most popular from my audience and suggest to me I should use them because they have been chosen by many. Purple and grey got 5 likes and Maroon and green both got 2 likes. Lastly came burgundy which only got one like. First I would have to make sure the colours don't clash so I would test them and if they do I would use a different colour from my chosen list. Therefore I am still using colours my audience chosen no matter what.

WHAT'S THE MOST YOU WOULD PAY FOR A MAGAZINE?
My results shown that 9 people chosen they would pay £2-£2.99 and the same amount chosen £3 or above which tells me I would base my magazine price between £2-£3. I think £3 may be a good price because it’s not too expensive to pay monthly as it would be if it was weekly. One person said they would pay £1-£1.99 and one person said they would pay £4.50. I don't want to make my magazine price too expensive because that’s what can put people off but then again if you make it too cheap they don’t think it’s good quality so I think I will base my price around £3.
The pie chart is showing an equal amount of people would pay £3 or above and £1-£1.99 for a magazine.
Whats the most you would pay for a magazine?£1-£1.99£2-£2.99£3 or above £4.50-
WOULD YOU VISIT THE MUSIC MAGAZINE WEBSITE IF THEY HAD ONE?
From my questionnaire, it tells me 16 people would visit the music magazine website if they had one and only 4 people wouldn't so this is telling me I should create a website for my magazine to help people find more about it and advertise it more.
The chart is showing a lot more people would visit the music magazine website if they had one.

PREFERRED AMOUNT OF PAGES IN A MAGAZINE? The results from my questionnaire show

DO YOU ENTER THE COMPETITIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE MAGAZINE?
From my questionnaire, I feel like I shouldn’t include competitions, or if any one because no one said that they enter them so it would be pointless it being there. 14 people said they defiantly don't enter them and only 6 people said they do it sometimes.
The chart shows more people don't enter competitions compared to people who do.
Do you enter the competetions that are included in the magazine?YesNoSometimes
DO YOU THINK A PICTURE OF SOMEONE FROM THE WAIST UPWARDS IS BETTER THAN A FULL IMAGE OF SOMEONE ON THE FRONT COVER?
From my questionnaire, 13 people think a picture of someone from the waist upwards is better than a full image of them. This then means on my front cover, my main image will only be of a someone from the waist upwards because that’s what more people prefer.
The chart shows more people prefer an image of someone front he waist upwards is better.

someone from the waist up-
