Music Magazine Questionnaire Results

I printed off sixteen copies of my music magazine and handed it out to members of the public that fitted my target audience, being teenagers. I handed eight copies to the male gender and another eight copies to the female gender, this is because this will give me a more of a fair results. For the first question four people answered with More than once a month , six people answered Once a month and six people answered Never . From these results I can see that my target audience either doesn t read music magazines/ articles or they read them at least once a month. The results for the second question showed that one person wants to read about Tour dates the most, three people want to read about Information on new bands , four people chose Reviews of albums and eight people picked Interview with a band/ artist as their answer. This shows that most people tend to want to read about interviews with bands and artists in a music magazine. The third question showed that one person thought that Tour dates was the least important; two people said that Information on new bands was their least important and thirteen people said that the answer was Competitions . From these results I can see that my audience for my own music magazine would find the competition section the least important. For the fourth question one person said that their answer was Never , two people said that they bought music Once a week , three people said More than once a week , another three people said they downloaded music/ CD s Once a month and finally seven people said More than once a month . The results for this question show that the majority of people download music/ CD s more than once a month. On the fifth question Biffy Clyro was circled eight times, Foo Fighters was circled eleven times, twelve times for Nickelback , Bon Jovi was circled ten times, Stone Sour five times, Aerosmith ten times and Avenged Sevenfold was circled eight times. This shows that mainstream rock artists such as Foo Fighters and Nickelback are more commonly known amongst my target audience. Results for the sixth question showed that one person circled Other and wrote Dark colours but with some bright splashes , three people chose Primary colours , five people answered with Black and White and seven people chose Dark colours as the colours they would like to see on a rock music magazine. From these results I can see that most people would want a rock music magazine to be presented with dark colours. The seventh question showed that three people said they wanted to see Three images on the front cover, four people chose Two and nine people answered with One image. The

results show that most of the people that I handed out the questionnaire to would only like to see one image on the front cover. Finally the eighth question showed that two people chose Both as their answer, four people chose New artists/ bands and ten people chose Mainstream artists/ bands. This shows that for my own music magazine I should feature mainstream artists/ bands as it was the most picked answer by my target audience.
