Task 9
Are you a boy or girl?
I have asked 20 people, seven of which whom are boys and 13 who are girls. Therefore my results will be biased towards girl’s points of views, so I will have to take this into consideration when I make big decisions on my magazine.
How much do you spend on a magazine?
Out of the 20 people I asked, the majority of people would pay between £1 and £2 so my magazine price will be between those two figures.
How often do you buy magazines?
>
I noticed from results that very few people buy magazines yearly, meaning they either buy them weekly or monthly so my magazine will be fortnightly, this caters for both as it is in-between.
What music magazines do you read?
As most of my results show that, Kerrang and NME are the most bought music magazines I will base my music magazine on their codes and conventions.
What radio stations do you listen to?
I asked what music stations they listened to so I could grasp what there music tastes are like, and from my results I can tell they like to listen to the top 40, and rock/alternative music.
Who is your favourite artist?
From my results I can tell most of my audience listen to artists who are not mainstream such as Go: Audio and All Time Low. This means many of my cover lines will include unknown artists.
What three words do you associate with pop punk?
I asked what words people associate with pop punk because then I may be able to create a magazine name which would be suited to the genre. Also so I can chose a suitable outfit for my model to use on my front cover of my magazine.
What are your three favourite colours?
I discovered that purple, and red where the most popular colours, however this may be a biased view as most of questionnaires where filled in by girls. So, when I pick my colour scheme for my magazine I will take this I to consideration.
What do you dislike about current music magazines?
From this I can tell that very few people can find things wrong with the codes and conventions of music magazines, however I am guessing that those who said they read NME are those who have a problem with the contents page as it is more an index of artists, that a regular contents page. What attracts you to music magazines?
In my music magazine, I will have free stuff to attract my audience, and a main image which features someone who fits with the codes and conventions of a pop punk genre.
What free stuff would you like to have in music magazines?
In my magazine I will include free download codes as my target audience would prefer them to sample CD’s. Also 35% of people I asked would prefer posters to be featured as a freebie in my music magazine.
From this I can tell that very few people can find things wrong with the codes and conventions of music magazines, however I am guessing that those who said they read NME are those who have a problem with the contents page as it is more an index of artists, that a regular contents page.
