1. TARGET AUDIENCE ANALYSE
I created a poll using poll junkie and posted the link of Facebook
and Twitter where I waited for ten responses where I specified
them to all be between the ages of 16-21 years old (target
audience)
2. Would you buy a music magazine?
The first question I asked was would you buy a music magazine as
you can see from the diagram below 80% of my target audience
would be interested in buying a music magazine. This showed me
that there was a great response from my target audience reinforcing
me that I chose the correct age group for my target audience as they
are all are positive with the idea.
3. Do you prefer reading text or looking at images when buying a
music magazine?
The next question I asked was Do you prefer reading text or
looking at images when buying a music magazine? The results
came back that 50% of my target audience liked a mixture of
both images and text, which I expected when asking the
question, however closely behind 40% of people said they prefer
looking at images rather than reading text, this is something I will
take into consideration when creating my magazine and will not
over power the pages with text.
4. What is the average price you would pay for a music magazine?
The third question I asked was what is the average price you
would pay for a music magazine this is a key part when creating
a music magazine as if the price is to high it could discourage my
target audience into buying the magazine something I wouldn’t
want to do. As you can see from the graph below the teenage
target audience chose the lowest price of £1-£2 to be the best
deal and offer. With none of them picking £5+ this is something I
will definitely take on board when creating my magazine.
5. What do you think is a suitable colour scheme for an urban music
magazine?
The next question I asked was What do you think is a suitable colour
scheme for an urban music magazine? This is a very important factor of a
magazine as it needs to be something that will catch the audiences eye and
encourage them into buying the magazine, if the colour scheme isn't
correct it could possible effect the whole success of the magazine. After
doing the poll I found that the majority of my target audience thought that
black and white was the most suitable colour scheme for an urban music
magazine, this is something I am definitely going to use in the construction
phase of my magazine.
6. Do you go to music festivals?
The fifth question I asked my target audience was Do you go to music
festivals? The results came back 50/50 which left me undecided on
whether to include information on festivals or not. However after asking
one of my friends who answered the poll she said “I do not attend music
festivals due to the price which I can not afford, however I would buy a
music magazine so that I can get all the gossip form the festivals” meaning
that I have the option of including information on music festivals
something I'm going to consider including in my music magazine.
7. What would you like to see in a music magazine?
The sixth questions I asked was What would you like to see in a music
magazine? The majority of my audience chose the answer Lots of
information so I will make sure that I include lots of information that my
target audience will enjoy reading.
8. What types of people would you like to model in the magazine?
The last question I asked my target audience was What types of
people would you like to model in the magazine? the most popular
answer was someone of a similar age this is something I expected as
I feel that my target audience will be able to relate more to someone
of a similar age as themselves for example Justin Bieber and Selena
Gomez who are similar ages to my target audience are very relatable.
I will take this on board and choose actors around the age group of
16-21 years old.
