Questionnaire analysis



Most of the people who carried out my questionnaire were mainly teenagers from the age of 14 to 16 years old. There were some people who answered my questionnaire in the age range of 17 to 19 except there was not many people aged 19 years old. So it is very unlikely that older people may not take an interest in my magazine and therefore would not think about purchasing it. The magazine will be for more of the young adolescents.




The people who carried out my questionnaire said that it would be better if my magazine was in bold, bright colours. I also prefer my magazine to stand out so my magazine front cover is going to be very bright and colourful. My R n B music magazine is going to have a very urban vibe to it and should stand out to those who enjoy this particular genre of music. For the people who said that they would not like to see my magazine in bright, bold colours my magazine may not be what they’re looking for and maybe dark colours on a magazine cover is what appeals to them more than a bright music magazine cover. Also the people who didn’t like bright colours and carried out my questionnaire may be Goths or Emos and this means that they prefer dark, gloomy colours and may not like the particular music that will be in my magazine.


Most people prefer to see T-pain on the front of an R’N’B music magazine than any of the other artists that were suggested. Most of the people who carried out my carried out my questionnaire may prefer to see a male artist on the front of a music magazine cover than a female artist. There were a few people who said they would like to see Mariah Carey on the front cover of a music magazine, so they preferred to see a female artist.

The majority of the people said that it is better to have celebrities on the front of a music magazine cover. If there were to be celebrities on my magazine cover it would be used as my central image on the front of my magazine cover. This is a great way to promote celebrities and the magazine especially if it was a first issue.
Other people said that the price is what attracts them to a magazine; this is understandable because not very many people will be able to afford spending huge amounts of money on their favourite magazines. So the price would have to be affordable especially for teenagers.
The rest of the people said that the title is what attracts them to a magazine this is because if they wanted to look for a magazine they would know what they’re looking for.



If a magazine came with free posters people are more likely to buy it because they would not like to pay for posters and if they spent a lot of money on magazines they obviously wouldn’t want to spend much on posters.

The majority of the people who did my questionnaire said that they would purchase a magazine weekly. So this means that they would be able to afford it. Other people said that they would be able to buy it once a month. And for those who probably don’t spend much on magazines and don’t buy them often.

Most people said that if the price of their favourite magazine increased they would not buy it. So it is important to keep the price of a magazine the same price otherwise the magazine will lose out on readers.



If a magazine cover had an article which people didn’t know they said that they would not buy the magazine. So the people who buy magazines know what to expect when buying a magazine and who they want on the front of a magazine cover.



The majority of the people said that the central image is what they look at when buying a music magazine, this is so they know what to look for when buying the magazine, and also if it is someone they like on the front cover then they would obviously take time to look at it. Some said that the title is what they look at first in a magazine because it helps them find what magazine their looking for.
Others said that they look out for freebies when they buy a magazine because it is like a one time thing for each issue usually.

You've asked some really useful questions here. Make sure that you actually use them in your production work. For example your audience has said that they would like free posters so make sure that you include this.
