  PRESENTING MY SURVEY DATA

  What is yourage? This piece of data was really important to me because I wanted to make sure that the age for my target audience was right. The fact that there are lots of people at the age of 16- 18 is a really positive sign as well as the next piece of data…

  What is yourgender? This piece of data is equally as important because it shows that the audience I'm looking to appeal my magazine to is girls as 60% of the people who took my survey were female.

  Your opinion onfolk music? These results are really promising because it shows that actually a lot of people do actually like folk music so I have a wide audience to get my magazine out to. This also links with my target audience as this shows a lot of younger people such as the 16-18 year old category like folk music. Only 9.09% of people said they really don’t like it so therefore at least 90. 91% of people think it is tolerable if not good or great

  What do youassociate most with folk music? • When looking through the results of my survey at this question, there were some recurring ideas that just kept coming and coming. The most highly scored thing that people associated with folk music was the instruments, having 14 out of the 62 responses being this. Other features that occurred commonly were festivals and stereotypical looks of the musicians as well as location and dancing. • Things that only a few people associated with folk music is age and emotion so these aren’t things I have to include although I would still like it to appeal to certain ages and convey certain emotions

  What do youexpect to find in a music magazine? • The most commonly said answer was the latest news on bands with 20 out of the 63 responses saying that this is what they expect. • Some other high scoring ideas are the latest events which was suggested 17 times as well as images of the bands which link to the article which scored 16. • However what was also apparent is that quite a large number of people didn’t know what to expect from a music magazine because they have never bought one. This is due to the latest technology in some peoples eyes making magazines pointless. 7 people had said that they don’t know what they would find within a magazine • (Some people suggested more than one item)

  What draws youin to buying a magazine? It is clear by looking at these results that the front image is a large part of why people want to buy a magazine so I know this is something I am really going to work on as 54% of people said this is the main reason . Also people want to see their favourite bands appear on the front page as about 47% of the people wanted to see their favourite bands. Some of the answers within the “Other” section consisted of a low price or a clear layout so it is easy to find the pages you want. It is also clear that on a music magazine, “Special offers” aren’t very important and doesn’t need to be within my magazine The percentages don’t really add up and this is because I allowed the people to put more than one answer

  What colours wouldyou expect to see? By looking at these results, it is clear to see that a lot of people preferred to see bright colours as this links with the social context of the folk genre and society. The most popular colour was orange with 55% of people saying that this colour is most fitting. Not as many people chose black because it doesn’t suit the style as folk is a lively thing and needs to be bright and in your face.

  What form wouldyou want a music magazine to be? By looking at these results, it is clear which way the majority of people are going. With 56 out of 66 people saying informal is the way to go, that statistic is hard to ignore. This could be because the social group that listen to folk are usually working class so look for entertainment more than education which the informal style fits perfectly.

  What do youread magazines for? • By looking at the results of this question, it is clear that many people read magazines for entertainment and leisure as they pass the time whilst doing something. In fact, 47 of the 60 people who answered this question said that this is why they read it. • However, as the answers had multiple points a lot of people also wanted a music magazine where you find news about certain things. Whether that be the bands in it or locations for the next gig.

  What font wouldyou like to see in a folk magazine? • 92% of people suggested using Arial as the font because it is clear to see from a reasonable distance so you don’t have to strain your eyes to try and enjoy your reading time. • 20% of people said that the letters should be spaced a little bit wider than a usual magazine so it is easier to read • 5% of people wanted comic sans as the font (I don’t think I will be following through with this idea as these results are from the more elderly age bracket so isn’t within my target)
