1. Results and findings of the questionnaire and interview.
Which of these artists below would you most enjoy listening to?
The Majority of my participants stated that their favourite
artist is Ne-yo. They chose him because they enjoyed his
music and felt they could relate to what he says in his songs.
What do you feel makes a good magazine?
The Majority of my participants stated that a good magazine
should have the following features: Not too busy, longer, in-
depth features, lack of ‘celeb’ feel, and lack of pretention.
These were the main points my participants answered.
How often do you purchase a magazine?
The majority of my participants stated that they purchase a
magazine sometimes. Most expanded on this and stated
they rarely do because the internet is free and easily
accessible. Plus magazines are condensed into a couple
pages while the internets information is endless.
What does your favourite magazine provide for you?
The majority of participants stated that their favourite magazine
provided energy through bright colour schemes. Some
participants also stated that they usually read magazines when
they feel bored, and reading about issues may give them
energy. They also stated that their favourite magazine provided
clarity of facts through Celebrity news and problem pages, as
they felt they could relate to some issues and gain some clarity
of facts to help them resolve their personal problem.

2. they feel like it. From my own assumption, this would usually
apply if the magazine looked appealing; therefore I will use
bright colours and appealing stories, which will persuade the
reader to buy the magazine.
From this, I can establish that teenagers are more likely to
spend the maximum of £2.99 when purchasing a magazine.
This is understandable, as most teenagers may not have a
part-time Job, so a spending budget may be visible.

3. What would be your terpretation of a “stereotypical” model, in terms of
their image?
The feedback I received from this question, were all fairly
similar to each other as everyone stated that their
interpretation of a “stereotypical” model would be that they
would be glamorous and beautiful usually dressed stylish.
They would have a toned body and look as if they have
achieved something. This reflects back to my target
audience, as the model would presumably influence 13-30,
as he/she would be a device, which portrays some sort of
personal gain.
