Male

Female

I asked mainly females for this questionnaire which is pretty bias. I should have asked an equal amount of males & females to get a fair result. This shows that I have only shown most of my magazine to girls and have their opinion. My target audience was both genders, next time if I ever do this , I will ensure I ask both genders.

Under 16 16-21 25-30 30+

Most of the people I asked are in the 16-21 age bracket which is good because my target was 16-25. I made sure that I didn’t ask anyone under 16 or over 30 because their opinions don’t count for much considering they are not in the target audience. It would of been good for them to look at the magazine though.

Yes No

Most people said yes to this question which is a good sign because that means that they think of my magazine straight away to be rock because of the front cover. I was worried that no body would guess it was a rock magazine just from the front cover. Im glad that I did this question because it helps me to know what can capture a readers attention and make them guess what genre the magazine is.

Masthead Colours Coverlines Main image

6/10 people said that the cover lines indicated to them that this magazine was rock and an equal 2/10 thought colours and main image showed them what genre the magazine is. I like the fact that most people chose the cover lines because I had a hard time writing the cover lines to ensure that they seemed relatable and reflected rock music and I had to make sure they fit well with the front cover. Unfortunately nobody chose the masthead. I think ‘The Noise’ indicates it is a rock magazines.

Front cover Contents page Double page spread

This shows that an equal amount of people liked both the front cover and contents page against the double page spread. I would have chosen this too. I think that the cover or contents is my favourite page because I put most time into them. I like the fact that they like these two because that means if they were in a shop and saw it , they would possibly buy it considering the cover is their favourite.

Yes No

This is just a simple yes or no question but it reflects whether I used the right colour scheme or not through out the magazine. Fortunately 8/10 people said yes that the colours do represent rock music. This is good because I was hesitant about using red for the main colour but now it seems that it was a good choice.I think that the 2 people that said no must have not liked the colour red or they really didn’t think it represented rock.

Black,grey,white Red,grey,black Blue,grey,black

5/10 chose black, grey and white as a colour scheme to use. I think that if I would of used these colours the magazine would of looked really boring and simple. Maybe the readers think that these colours represent rock much more than the colour red does. However 3/10 people chose that red, grey and black would be good colours to use, even though that is sort of what the colour scheme is now.

This is significant because it an influence whether I ever want to change the prize of my magazine. I think that my original prize of £2.50 is good because most magazines sell for around this price or maybe more, depending on the content and quality of the magazine. Most of the answers on this were £2+ which indicates that my price of £2.50 could be quite reasonable.

Yes

No

This simple yes or no question is quite important because throughout the construction I spent a long time choosing fonts that I think would work well on the magazine and reflect rock music, it was hard to find fonts but using Dafont.com made it easier. Thankfully most people said yes meaning the fonts are appropriate. Maybe if I was to ever make this again I would find it much easier to choose fonts. Fonts are an important part of making the magazine.

Yes No

Most people answered this question NO which is a good sign because I couldn’t think of anymore cover lines or articles that could be put into the magazine. However 2/10 people said yes there is something to include, they specified and chose games. The readers think that like some similar magazines there should at least be a small games section somewhere because games in magazines are always fun. This question was helpful because now I know for next time if there is anything new to include.

Images Information Colour

7/10 chose COLOUR for this question, meaning they would like to see more colour in the contents page. I think that this indicates I should make some of the article titles colourful instead of the whole page just simply being red, black and white. Adding more colour could attract some more readers. Also a small amount of people wanted more information, I found it difficult to write information about the articles because I didn’t want to give too much away but next time I could try write some more.

Images Article Colour

I agree with the answers to this one, that the readers want to see more article/interview on the DPS. When I conducted and wrote the interview out I realised that it was quite short but didn’t do anything about it, therefore this left quite a bit of space on the page but I covered it with pictures. Next time I can ensure that I get a longer interview. Also the readers suggested more images but I don’t think I can put anymore images onto the DPS. Other double page spreads only usually have 3 or 4 pictures on them.

Yes No

This is the most vital question because it makes my opinion about the magazine. Answers show that 9/10 people think the magazine does look professional which is great because I spent so much time perfecting it and ensuring that it was to a good standard and met all of the readers/audiences needs and wants. I am very proud of my final magazine and it someone else had made it, I would defiantly purchase one.
