Survey Results

As the title of my survey was music magazine related, I have concluded from my results that the majority of people who are interested in, or purchase music magazines are aged 16-20. Therefore my magazine will be made to relate to this age range. For example I will make sure to add a few slang terms in my double page spread but not too many as my target audience does include elder people in their 20's.

I have found out through my results that most people listen to rock music, this gives me an advantage as my magazine is based on alternative rock which includes many varied forms of rock, for example Punk Rock.

My magazine will be released monthly which, (according to my survey results) is how often many people purchase magazines.

The colour scheme seems to be a very important factor in attracting people to a magazine, therefore I will keep my colour scheme a reoccurring theme as to not include too many colours resulting in a 'busy-looking' front cover. Inside features and free extras are also what attracts most readers to magazines so I will be sure to include this on my front cover to make it more appealing.

From this I have decided to make my magazine £2.99 so it is affordable for the vast majority but also not too cheap that it seems not worth reading.

Colours on the front cover put off a lot of people from buying a magazine so i will research into which colour schemes seem to attract people rather than put them off buying the magazine.

Most people wanted an upcoming band featured on the front cover, however I do not know many people who listen to alternative rock so i will feature an upcoming artist who is also in the age range of 16-20. This will not be a problem in attracting readers to my magazine as many also said they would like to see an upcoming artist featured on the front cover.

I will stay in the convention of red, black and white as the colour scheme for my magazine as this, as i have noticed, is a very common colour scheme in rock magazines such as "Kerrang!" and many rock album covers such as green day. This will appeal to my target audience as they are very used to seeing these colours in alternative music videos, album covers and clothing of such bands.
