Analysis of survey monkey questionnaire

1.Gender

Male 29% female 71%

female

Male

I asked the gender question because I wanted to find out who would answer the questionnaire the most, so I could find out who would be best to target my magazine to As you can see on the bar chart a larger portion of girls completed the survey compared to boys (17 females and 7 males.) Sadly one person skipped the age question so the numbers on the first question add up to 24. This may be due to not giving enough information to more males so they could participate. This shows me that I should probably focus my magazine towards the female demographic because they were the majority.

2.AGE
30 - over 16% 25 - 29 16% Under 10 10 - 14 0% 8%

20 - 24 4%

15 - 19 56%

The reason I asked this question was, so I could find out the best target age rang to go for, regarding the majority. A large portion of my survey was answered by 15 19 year olds. Age is very important because it allows me to see what age demographic my magazine will be drawn towards which will allow me to see what I should add in my magazine to fit the conventions my target audience expects. The target audience I was going for was 15-19 so I am pleased that my survey was filled out by mostly 15-19 year olds.

3.TYPE OF MUSIC PEOPLE LISTEN TO

R'n'B 31% Pop 23%

Dance 6% Classical Country 0% Indie 26% Rock 14%

The reason I asked this question was to find out what type of music people listened to so I could find out what music genre to base my music magazine around, in order to gain the most readers. As shown on the on the pie chart a large portion of the participants chose R n B (31%) and in a close second, Pop. I was leaning towards pop music for my magazine but now I see that, I may need to change the type of music the magazine is based around.

4.DO YOU READ/BUY MUSIC MAGAZINES

Yes No

No 56%

Yes 44%

The reason I made this question was to find out if people read or bought magazines and to begin finding out why they did or why they didnt buy them. As you can see a larger percentage of people said no to reading/buying music magazines. This may be due to an array of reasons i.e. too expensive, not enough free things etc. This shows me that I would need to add in specific things into my magazine, to ensure that my target audience read/buy my magazine.

5.Which of these magazines have you purchased in the past?

Karrange 11% NME None 26% 59% Rolling stone 4% Q Magazine 0% Karrange Q Magazine Rolling stone

This question was used to find out what type of magazines people purchased, a large percentage of people did not buy any of the magazines, which shows me that not many people read, rock or Indie music magazines Karrange, Rolling stone and NME are these type of music magazines. Results; Karrange 11%, Rolling stone 4%, NME 26%, Q magazine 0% and none 59%. These results indicate that I should not create a music magazine that is based around rock or Indie and base it around another genre with in music.

6.WHAT GENDER WOULD YOU PREFER TO BE ON THE COVER OF A MAGAZINE?

female this Male Both was to find out The reason I asked question what people wanted to see on the cover of a magazine, so people enjoy 17% seeing beautiful women but others prefer a beautiful man and others may prefer a mixture.

Results; female 17%, male 24% and both 59% I was leaning towards having a female on the cover of the magazine because in the industry of magazine editing many females on the cover but due to these results, which indicate to me that, my cover should include both women and men on the cover.

59%

24%

7. What colours would you like to see used in a magazine?

This question was asked to find out what type of colour schemes people wanted to see throughout a magazine. The main colours that were chosen where; Blue and Red which are masculine colours.
Throughout my magazine I was hoping to use dark colours to show the seriousness of the magazine, red and blue are masculine colours which shows that my participants are leaning to a masculine feel throughout the magazine. Blue and red where not the colours that I was hoping to use but I may use them to highlight certain things to make sure that they stand out to the audience. For example a word like exclusive.
