Questionnaire

My questionnaire designed for people tyo answer to help me create a magazine that will appeal to ther mass of people. My questionnaire is 10 questions long. I took a cross section of people across our school. Eighteen people responded to my questionare; however, despite the fact I expected a few more people to complete it, I was not disappointed with the outcome. The first few questions are asked to see what target audience I should be aiming for and how to design my magazine around them to suit their needs.

Question 1

This is a simple question to see which gender my genre of magazine would appeal to more. It was a equal result which I am happy with as this means more people will buy my magazine, but I need to make it look appealing to both genders for this to happen.

 Question 2

This is again designed to see who my target audience is. I know that different magazine covers etc appeal to different age groups so this; along with question 1 is very important.







Question 3

This was a disappointing result for me as I know that not alot of people might not even look at my magazine even if it is coreectly advertised etc. However, one important positive I can draw from this is that I can appeal to the minority of the target audience. This makes it easier for me to allow my magazine to adapt to these 'minorities'.

Question 4

This is a good question to ask as it will allow me to know what colours i should use that will appeal to my target market. The response in genreal was of a stereotypical nature; the majority of people wanted the colours black, red and white.

Question 5

The general feedback on this answer was mixed, but overall people tend to think of bands, instruments, news and tour dates.

Question 6

As you can see, people expect magazines to be quite expensive with the majority of people thinking magazines should be £5 or more. I personally think this is expensive, so I wont be charging my magazine at the higher price as there are also more people that wan

Question 7

This was a disappointing result for me. As you can see the majority of people don't read magazines. This will make it harder for me to make my magazine catch the persons eye.

Question 8

The general response for this was bright colours. I plan to use plain white as my background so this shouldn't be a problem for me.

Question 9

Overall the responses were very orientated with what I was aiming for which is a real boost and contrasts the answers in question 7.

Question 10

 The overall response was people saying that the more heavier rock music was not a good image to go for as it puts people off buying my magazine. This was again a positive for me because this was not the aim of my magazine.
