ARE YOU MALE OR FEMALE?

I used this question to have a look at the

difference between the genders and see how
the audience would see the questions in
different ways. This would then help me decide
what content to put in the magazine so I can
have both genders happy with the content
within.

I have decided to use the age to see

what my main target audience would
prefer. This would then tell me what
the audience would want to read and
how the content in the magazine is
laid out.

HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU WANT A MAGAZINE TO BE

PUBLISHED?
This was a key part of my
questionnaire. This is because it
has decided how often my
magazine would be published.
Based on the information they
have given me I should publish
my magazine monthly.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE BANDS? PICK 3

I asked this question to help me see what the best bands
are to put in my magazine. This would help me design the
front cover as I can put the head lines of the bands on the
front cover. I can also add the bands names in to the
contents page. I asked people if there favourite band
wasnt there I put an other section these included: The
Gaslight Anthem, Bon Jovi, The Beatles, Courteeners,
Oasis, Artic Monkeys. These other answers have helped
me realise the wide range of bands there are and that I
can have many different headlines.

I asked this question to see what colours I

should use together. This would help me
decide the over all colour scheme of the
magazine and help draw the people in as it
has the eye catching colour scheme they
have suggested to me. This could also help
me create a house effect through out the
magazine.

WHAT FREE CONTENT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON OFFER?

The reason for this question was to see
what the best give away prize was. This
was to put inside the puff to draw peoples
attention in. This would then hopefully
get people to buy the magazine as the
best thing to give away is on offer. I have
then decided to pick to put free tickets in
to the puff to try and maximise the sales.

DO YOU PREFER A BUSY OR ORGANISED LAYOUT ON THE

FRONT COVER?
I asked this question so it would tell me

how to set most of my magazine out. It has

helped me decide to use a organised
layout through out the magazine as people
have made it clear this is what they want.

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A MONTHLY MAGAZINE?

This was an important question as it would decide
how much my magazine was. I had all ready thought
that I wanted a monthly magazine, but didnt know
how much to ask people to pay. This question has
made me decide on the 3-4 area as this was one of
the main picked answers from the questionnaire.

WHAT APPEALS TO YOU ON A FRONT COVER? PLEASE PICK

2
This question was needed to help me layout
my front cover. I asked the people to pick 2
answers. This is because I needed more
than one thing on my front cover and
needed a mean number of answers so I
would know what should be the main things
to pull the audience in to my magazine.

to getting the magazine as they have
helped pick its content and how the
page is spread out.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ON A CONTENTS PAGE? PLEASE PICK 3

This helped me decide on the content and lay out
of the contents page. This should attract more
people to the magazine as the target audience
have decided what the content would be. As the
most picked the use of sub headings will be
added. Also as the results show Im going to use 3
columns of writing to show its not too much but
not to less content.

WHAT NAME WOULD YOU PREFER FOR A ROCK MAGAZINE?

This was one of the most important questions. I
had thought of some possible names for my
magazine. The use of this question meant I
could have a better understanding of what the
audience wants the magazine to be called. This
would then hopefully draw them in to the
magazine more as it has an eye catching name
that they have helped picked.
