Questionnaire Results

Gender

Male 41%

Female59%

For this study, i found that the majority of people that wanted to fill out my study was female but only by a small percentage more than male. This shows

that more females read pop magazines but both genders were willing to

read them. I am going to use the results of this study in the future to

suggest who my target audience is going to be for the magazines i produce

so it appeals to the correct people who would read

them.

For this study, i concluded that my

main target audience of age

groups is between 11-20. This is the

ideal age of people that would read a pop magazine so I am going to mainly

aim the magazine at this audience

however keep it quite broad as we can also see that

there are people of different age groups

that read pop magazines too.

From this study, I was trying to work out which artists people would expect to see in a typical pop magazine. From this, I have established that most people expect to see current artists in the charts to be in this magazine. This includes artists like Justin Bieber and Drake.

After this study, you can infer that the largest majority of

people are most likely to buy the magazine due to what

stories are inside it, whether that is gossip or information on

music events. Also a large majority are drawn into it due

to the images on the front cover, and also the artists the

magazine includes. The minority care about the colour scheme used throughout the

magazine and the layout because they don't

intentionally think about it when buying a magazine,

however it does subconsciously help them

make a decision of the magazine as certain colours and organisation of a page

draws people into picking it.

Most people, when answering this question, decided that bright bold colours is most expected on a pop magazine. This

is due to the pop magazines already on the market, for example Top

Of The Pops, which appeal to a young teen audience. Most of the colours people

picked were quite bold, with no or little mentions of grey, black and white as they don't suit this

genre. From this I will use more bright colours on my

front cover and through the magazine however

only use a maximum of 3 bright colours to avoid a

childish look.

What content do you expect to see in a pop

magazine?

The content people expect to see in a pop magazine

is fairly equal. This includes interviews and gossip with the artists,

reviews on different pop music, the charts of pop

music to see what is upcoming, and fashion tips

and advice from the artists. This wide range is normally seen in all pop magazines which is why most people are likely to

choose equally. From this, i am probably going to do

my double page spread on an interview with an artist/group including

some gossip.

What images do you expect to see in a

pop magazine?

The response to the images people would normally expect

to see in a pop magazine is broad. However the majority would like to see exclusive

images of an artist/group that has not been seen before yet. Also professional photoshoot images of artists is expected. Performance and backstage images aren't quite as highly wanted. This makes me come to the conclusion that in my

magazine i should use a mixture of exclusive images and performance images for

the contents and double page spread, but a professional

photo for the cover page to make the magazine seem competent and therefore

appeal to a broader audience.
