  Q1 – Howold are you? In my questionnaire the highest age range of people was 13-17 years olds. I have decided to have my target audience around this age range because I will be able to include much deeper and detailed content inside the magazine and also it wont be difficult for readers to read and understand as they are at the appropriate age to understand complex language. Also most teenagers like to read magazines and have a very high interest in the music industry and the latest news. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Below 12 13-17 over 18

  Q3 - Whatgenre of music do you listen to? Indie Rock Metal In my questionnaire most people picked Indie for their genre of music that they listen to. I have decided to base my magazine within this genre of music as it is a popular discovery within teenagers even though Indie music has been around for generations. More and more teenagers are becoming familiar with Indie music and actually enjoying it. So by popular demand I will influence and base my magazine around Indie genre music.

  Q4 – Whatis your favourite music magazine? In my questionnaire NME magazine was the most popular answers within the options given for this question. I have decided to base my ideas and look further into detail with this this magazine and try and identify what the magazine does in order for it to be so popular and successful within todays society. I think the NME is a excellent example to base my music magazine from and also it includes the genre Indie which also helps within making my magazine as that is the genre of music I will be basing my own magazine from.

  Q5 – Whois your favourite musical artist? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 In my questionnaire the highest result was the band Oasis which is an indie genre band. The second and third most highest result were also Indie Bands, followed by Metal and Rock bands. In my music magazine I will be focusing on indie bands, including information upon current popular bands and gigs and upcoming bands, music artists and also more gigs. This result is helpful because it helps me to identify what my audience wants to be included inside about certain artists and bands.

From this information I have decided to price my music magazine around £3.50-£4.00 this is because of the content I will include inside and readers will also receive freebies to attract more attention towards my music magazine. Also by pricing my magazine around this price I am not pricing the magazine at too little or too much, I am charging a reasonable and affordable amount for the readers.

  Q7 – Howoften do you read music magazines? Everyday Every week Every two weeks Other In my questionnaire the highest amount of people said that they read magazines every week. I have decided to issue out my magazine once every week as that was the highest demanding time scale within my questionnaire. I feel that more people will be able to afford the magazine each week and I will have enough information to fill the magazine with content that happened within the week in the musical world.

  Q8 – Whatcontent do you normally read in the music magazine? The main article The side articles Albums/Album reviews Upcoming gigs/concerts Other In my questionnaire the highest answered was the main article that people read normally and on a regular basis. As I will be issuing my magazine once every week I will include all these options and if not more within my magazine so that my target audience will get a fair and reasonable amount of information each week including their favourite section of a music magazine. This will also increase my audience readers.

As I will be issuing my music magazine once a week I will attempt to vary the range of colour schemes within my magazine. It is important that the colours used on my magazine can reflect the themes, genre, ideas and target audience my magazine will be aimed at.

  Q10 – Preferredamount of pages in a music magazine?In my questionnaire the highest amount of people selected 91+ pages they prefer to see in a magazine. As I will be issuing my magazine once a week I will be aiming to cover at least 50-70 pages, this is because it will be difficult to cover 90+ pages with only a weeks worth of information about the music industry and updated information with what is going on inside the music world. I think 50-70 pages is a good reasonable amount and readers will appreciate this amount, not too little but not too much information to receive. 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 0-50 51-70 71-90 91+ 0-50 51-70 71-90 91+

I will include all of these options and many more as people have different opinions, likes and dislikes.

  Q14 – Whatdo you dislike inside a music magazine? Radar section Too much writing Quiz and questionnaires Other In my questionnaire many people said that too much writing was their dislike inside a magazine. In my magazine I will try and balance the amount of text with a good amount of pictures so there isn't too much reader for my audience.
