Survey Result Analysis

In my survey I asked the gender of the person. I asked gender rather than sex because socially constructed attributes and roles to that person are more important than their physical characteristics. The gender with help me which colours I use, hobbies and clothing brands I feature. I found most of my audience were male. this means I will use more masculine colours, language and brands.

Next I asked for their age because this will effect the language I use and what I feature inside. I found the largest proportion of my audience was between the ages of 15 and 25.

I asked my target audience what clothing brands they wear. This will help me decide which brands I should advertise inside. If I used clothes my audience didn't like the brand would not sell any clothes and not want to feature. After asking I found Vans was the most popular followed by Topshop and Topman.

To also find out what to feature in my magazine I wanted to find out what they did in their spare time and their hobbies. All of my audience listen to music which is most important. They also spend a lot of their time watching TV and going out. I found that the younger audience, which is most, all use social media. I can use this to my advantage by adding links into my magazine to my magazine's social media pages.















I asked how people listen to there music because I can advertise concerts, CDs and other ways to sell music. I found everyone listens to music on their phones and another popular way is radio especially for the older audience.















One of the most important questions was do you read music magazines and the result was 80% do.
Another important question was what should be featured in the magazine because I need to know what my target audience want to see to buy it. I found news and reviews were most popular followed by tour dates and freebies such as posters. Furthermore, I found the magazines my readers usually buy contain freebies and posters


















 I thought it was key to ask what my target audience pays for their music magazines because I need to make mine a suitable to their price range. They usually pay between £2.00 and £3.00.















When I am designing my front cover it needs to attract my target audience. A good way I can do this is through though the use of colour. I found that black, white and red on a rock magazine appeal to them.















I wanted to find out how popular advertising tours and the dates in my magazine by finding out how often my readers would go to gigs.
