  Q1 What isyour favourite genre of music? Here are the results of question one. From this I have found that most people prefer Indie music which has made me more confident about doing an Indie magazine. The next favourite genres of music are Pop and RnB. This is good because now I can do some feature articles on Pop or RnB artists which will appeal to a wider range of audience as well as my targeted audience.

  Q2 Who isyour current favourite artist/band? This question has shown me what type of artists people prefer. The most popular artists from people I surveyed was Coldplay and The Script. This is good because now I can do main feature articles on these bands. I can also do more feature articles on some of the other indie bands that people have said are their favourite too. Asking this question will really help me to produce my magazine stories.

  Q5 How muchwould you pay for a music magazine? The majority of people surveyed said they would pay £1-£2 at 8 people. But 7 people would pay £2-£3. Because I am publishing my magazine monthly and it is going to quite a big and full magazine with over 100 pages I will want to charge more for it.

  Q6 Would youbuy a magazine with a free gift in it? Yes- 20 No- 0 Every person I surveyed said they would buy a magazine with a free gift. This shows that people would be more encouraged to buy and attracted to a magazine with a free gift in it. I am definitely going to include a free gift or offer in magazine after seeing the results from this question.

  Q7 What typeof magazine do you normally read? This question shows me that the favourite type of magazine that people prefer to read is gossip. Now I know that apart from just music based interviews and articles, I will have to include some music gossip columns and maybe some music celebrity gossip as well.

  Q8 What doyou do in your spare time? The results from the question are going to help me to decide on extra feature articles for my magazine. Knowing that people are interested in dance, the gym and playing guitar in their spare time; I could add some feature articles on those subjects.

  Q9 What isyour favourite TV Programme? From the question, I received a wide variety of results. This will also help me to add feature articles. For example, as One Tree Hill is the most popular, I could feature an article on a character from that show talking about music.

  Q10 What isyour favourite colour? This question will help me decide on what colours use for my front cover and contents page. Because it is an indie magazine, I am not going to have bright florescent colours, but I could use purple, red or blue as they are the most favourite suitable colours for my magazine.

  Q11 What threewords would you use to describe indie music? In this question I got a wide range of words which people would describe indie music as. These words can help my with my magazine title, buzz words and feature articles. Words which frequently came up were things like, guitar, unique, exciting, and different. This shows me that my magazine needs to be unique and different, not just any indie magazine! I may also include some pictures and articles about guitars as a lot of people said they would associate indie music with guitars.
