This is the answers and analysis on the

1. Survey

2. In my first question of
the survey the majority
of people liked reading
the gossip genre of
magazines. However
overall the amount of
answers for each
option were quite close
and each of the
magazines options got
a very similar amount
of votes so this
question doesn’t help
my research very
much. Nevertheless
28% of the people that
answered my survey
chose the music
magazine genre.

3. The age groups that answered my survey were 16-20 and 30+ this is helpful for my
research as the magazine I am going to produce is going to be aimed at 16-24 year
olds. Therefore I know that the information that I get from this survey will be from
the age group that I am creating the magazine for so it will be helpful for this
process.

4. In my 3rd question I asked a question which was more specific to one of the
magazine genre’s by asking what music genre they like listening to. The 42.3% of
people said Indie Rock. However the music genre I have decided to focus on is Rap
and Hip Hop I have combined both of these together as they are very close and
similar in the music industry so altogether 32.1% of people voted for the music
genre I am going to focus on. This will also be helpful for my process.

5. I then went to ask why the audience buy a magazine. 53.6% of the people that
answered my survey went for entertainment. This information will help me to
decide what to include in my magazine. Also 42.9% of the answers were towards
the gossip so I will make sure that my magazine includes both of these things as it
will help to make my magazine interesting for the age group I am aiming my
magazine at.

6. The main image with 37.9% and name of magazine with 34.5% are the main things
that grab peoples attention to buy a magazine. So therefore I will ensure that I take
a large collection of images for my front cover and make sure that the most suitable
one that will go with the magazine. Also I am making sure that the name of my
magazine will be interesting but easy to remember then the magazine will be able
to be well known and get popular.

7. By asking how often the audience will buy a magazine this has given me the
information and will help me to decide the frequency of the publication.

8. Although it is mainly women that have answered my survey I have decided to do my
magazine to be aimed at males as the majority of my other answers in my survey
have made me decide to do a masculine based magazine. However females may
also be interested in buying this magazine but my target audience is males.

9. This research shows
me that 89.3% of the
people that answered
my survey are White
(British). This tells me
that the majority of my
results from this survey
altogether are from the
White (British)
ethnicity. However I
have 3.6% of Asian
(Indian), Asian
(Pakistani), Black
(British), Mixed (other)
and 2 more others.
Therefore this also
shows me that 11.7%
of my magazine
research is from mixed
ethnicity's.

10. In the results for this question it shows me that people read other peoples
magazines more than they buy their own.

11. The results for this question clearly shows that 65.5% of people want to spend £1-
£2.99 on a magazine. Therefore I will aim to make my magazine this reasonably
priced.
