12. How much would you be willing to pay?

Most of my results came back saying that most people would be willing to pay around £3 for
my magazine, but someone put 99p and that will be shown as an anomaly.

13. What colours would you like to see in my magazine?

The results were mostly half and half between traditional metal magazine colours (darks)
and light colours but it shows that the metal colours were more chosen for.

14. What sort of bands would you like to see?

The majority of the results said that the people wanted to see metal bands in my magazine
and so metal bands would be shown in my magazine and the minority said they wanted
indie and hip hop bands.

The results of my questionnaire have helped me greatly and will help me lay out my magazine and
how often to publish it. I have decided that I will publish my magazine monthly for a price of £3 and
will be aimed at metal fans aged around 16 years of age; I shall have dark colours e.g. black, white
and purple. I will add a little article on instruments for people who play. I will add in tour dates,
music releases and interviews with new bands. The majority of my results showed that the majority
of the readers will be male and enjoy metal music, this will help me sort my magazine out to appeal
a lot more strongly to my target audience and hopefully sell better than if I never done a
questionnaire.
