Questionnaire Results

I asked a total of 15 people to complete my questionnaire about my main music magazine.

The results were:

SpeakerBoxx was the most prefered name out of the 3 with 6 people prefering this name overall. The reason they prefered this name is overall it is quite cathcy and most people didnt like the other 2 names I offered. I am pleased with this result because i feel it is quite a styilised name and i can work well with the 2 X's at the end.

The colours that people wanted to see on my black and white background were bright colours and the reason for this was that they stand out more and they attract the audience.

On the questions about who they wanted to see on the front cover the results were inconcluive because the people i asked did not really mind if there was a male or female or a band on the front cover. I feel that they would be more interested in the design of the magazine.

When i asked the women doing the questionnaire what magzine they read there answers were, Cosmopolitan and OK, the reason for this is the contents of the magazine interests the reader and it has what they want to know about, but some of the women i asked did read music magazines because this is what interested some also.

When i asked the men what magazines they read the answers were generally NME and lads mags, the reason for this is because the contents of the magazine is what they are interested in. And also i feel it is more acceptable for a man to be into the type of music that is featured in the NME magazine.

After looking at the results of the impotant features question the order was overall this:

Importance

1.Price
2.Image
3.Genre
4.Freebee
5.Name

Unimportance

As we can see from the results the price is a huge factor in the magazine and it is very importnat to the reader. The Image is also very important because it shows the audience what genre of music the magazine will include when they see the image of the artist. This shows that the genre of the magazine is important and i must take this into consideration when working on my main magazine cover.

The 2 that the audience feels are unimportant are the freebee and the name, the reason i think the freebee is not important is because the age range i asked and the age range i am aiming at are no longer interested in freebees but more the actual content of the magazine so they will not be looking for a freebee but it may add more selling power to the magzine if the freebee interests the reader. Also the name is not important because the name does not have much impact on the overall magazine.
