Questionnaire Results

For my research, I posted a poll onto my blog to get opinions on favourite music genres, music magazines and opinions on my own work. My poll was answered by 16 people of both male and female and a range of ages. The ages range from 15-21+, which was my main age for target audience. The majority of the voting was female, however there were some male votes too. I took all poll results into consideration and they'll affect the way my magazine turns out.

My results showed that the most popular music genre was rock with 'no particular favourite' coming second favourite. My question which asked 'what magazine do you prefer?' also showed that Kerrang! and NME were the most popular. This links well with the result of favourite genre as these magazines are mainly rock. This was a good result for me as I wanted to produce a rock magazine cover, contents and double page spread.
My poll results also revealed that most people spend or would spend £2-£3 on a single magazine. I think that this is a reasonable price for weekly music magazine, therefor my magazine would be weekly.

I also asked questions which would allow me to see other peoples opinions on my work. My first question I asked was 'Which colour scheme do you prefer?'. I had 3 choices which were based on music magazine research I had done. My results showed that red, black and white was the most popular/favourite colour scheme. I used this colour scheme in my work as it was the most popular, therefore it would attract my target audience. I also asked a question on 'What font do you prefer?'. Most people answered with the 2nd font, which I was pleased about because I felt it was the most appropriate for my product. I also asked questions on what page layouts were prefered. My results were: front page layout no.1 , contents page layout no. 3 and double page spread layout no.2. I was very happy with these results as these layouts were my favourite. However, my final products didn't use the exact layout, but it did follow the main features of my original layout designs. As guidence for a story on my double page spread, I also asked the question 'What do you look for in a music magazine?' and the results showed band interviews and photographs were the most popular. I took these results and used them as guidence to how I should produce my magazine and what to include in order for it to appeal to my target audience.
