I didn’t cover enough of the target audience, so my questionnaire is answered by only 16-20 year
olds, so the questionnaire is bias towards this age range. So therefore my final magazine will appeal
to this age range.
what gendre are you?
male
female
My magazine will appeal to both genders as I’ve asked both males and females to do the
questionnaire but more males answered the questions so the opinions given will be bias towards
this gender.

2. what type of dance music do you listen to?
House
trance
oldschool
other
From this chart, its clear most of my target audience listen to House style dance music, this helps
now to know what artists I will feature, events I could advertise as well as the influence on the
design. But also Old school music was some people’s choice, this type of music was listen to in the
early 90’s, so even with the young age of the people answering they still like this style of music. This
could open an opportunity for my magazine to make a regular article paying tribute to old time
classics.

With this question, I wanted to get a verity of words people who are interested in this genre think
about when answered this question. There was a verity of answers given, but the highest answer
given was clubs. This suggests the content of my magazine can feature clubs and the nightlife. Loud
and drugs where the second most popular option, but for ethical reasons I will not use drugs in any
way in my magazine.

This question shows £2-£5 pound is the range people spend. This gives an indication my magazine
should have a similar price range, for example £3.25, so people are not put off by the price.

red blue purple orange black green yellow pink
With this question, the answered were varied, so a range of colours can be used. But this also shows
no one picked the colour pink. So pink shouldn’t really be a colour I should use for the colour
scheme. The most popular answers given were red and blue, so these colours should be used
somewhere in the design.

who out of the given, are your
2 favourite artists?
1
0
The most popular answer with this was Chase and status, this response shows I can do an article on
this artist and capture people’s interest. Calvin Harris and David Gueta where not so popular
answers, so both artists should be a feature article on my magazine as people aren’t as interested in
these as others.
what type of questions would you like to be
asked in an interview with your favourite
artist?
About current/upcoming events
personal life
comical questions
their opinions
all
other
These results are slightly varied, but the most popular answer was about current/upcoming events
so I need to make sure information like this is in their and in the double page spread, do something
about an event or interviewing a DJ about events. Also their opinions wasn’t anybody’s answer so
this part of the interview should be small or not their at all as people wont be interested to read it.

6. what style do you like dance music
magazines to be written?
formal
fun
apinionated
comical
all
other
Fun is the most dominant answer but only slightly, comical was also a popular answer as well as all.
This suggests my audience would prefer to read a magazine written in a few styles, depending on
the talked about issue.

Its clear most people liked the pictures in the magazines they currently read, so a lot of well thought
out, clear images should be used on the front cover, contents page and double page spread. Also
features were a popular answer showing this is a major part of considering the front cover headline.

People were a popular answer, so this should be carefully thought out with the type of people I
should have in my magazine. Also regulars were a popular answer so maybe my issue needs to have
good/interesting regulars to outdo completion.

and captures their attention. This shows my feature article needs to be clear on the front cover,
using a large image and large, bold font and interesting.

price feature colour quality content other
With this question, the answers were slightly varied why people wouldn’t buy the magazine. This
shows I should take care of all these considerations so people won’t want to buy it, The most
popular answer was price, so a reasonable price range shouldn’t be too high to put people off.
does the design influence your purchase?
yes
no
sometimes
Most people said yes the design does influence their purchase, so the design and composition
elements of the front cover, contents and double page spread should look professional as possible,
capturing attention and making the information look trustworthy for people to buy the product.

This shows a variety of images can be used, as a few choices all as their answer but mostly people
would like to see images of fans and photo shoot with artist. This now will help be plan where I will
take my images as well as creating a photo shoot for front cover and contents pages.
how many pages do you think is an exeptible
amaout to have in a magazine?
20-30
31-40
41-50
51-60
61+
3 most popular answers here were 41-50 pages, along with 51-60 so this should be the aim to create
a number of content pages to meet their standards. A lot of pages means the contents page will be
full of information and be able to fit into columns witch is a good thing so it can look as realistic and
professional as possible.

10. do you like it when a magazine advertises
other products?
yes
no
maybe
unsure
Most people said yes to the advertising other products, this could be used to advertise technology
products in a regular column or be in added information onto the double page spread. A few said no
so this should be considered and if its necessary to the magazine.
