Survey Graphs

Gender

Male Female

This graph tells me that my target audience is more aimed at a male audience. Because of this, it tells me I could apply it to a male audience by using the male gaze so I can apply it successfully within to the audience by using more bands with female members or just female artists to do this. To apply the magazine to a more female audience I can use bands with male members or to show hegemonic masculinity to apply it to a female audience.

Age Rage

13-15 yrs16-18 yrs19-21 yrs22-24 yrs

This graph shows me that the age range of my target audience is at 16-18 year olds. From this audience I can influence the reader by using cultural hegemony to show them different bands within their genre of music to broaden their music taste and make them buy the magazine.

This graph shows me the ethnicity of the music genre is White British people. It tells me that my magazine I will create is aimed at this group so broaden the different people that can read the magazine, I could research different bands that appeal to different ethnicities to expand on the target audience so I could have more people interested in reading it.

This graph tells the genre of music I should write about for the magazine I will create. Because of the figures the target audience have shown that they want a more rock music magazine.

Freebies (posters)

Competitions

Reviews

This graph shows me different ideas for what I can include in my magazine I will create. The target audience has shown me interviews and freebies are something desired because they are items the target audience will search for in order to buy it from the use of cultural hegemony which will have been used to get them to buy it because of the artists in the magazine.

How often do you buy music mag-azines?

WeeklyFortnightlyEvery MonthEvery 2-4 MonthsEvery 5 Months

This graph tells me that the audience do enjoy getting the magazine’s they read, from the weekly and fortnightly statistics it shows the more loyal and long term audience who really enjoy what they want from the magazine. From the monthly statistics, it shows the less reliable audience who aren't as interested in what the magazine offers or because the magazine isn’t in the their style e.g. for music magazines it isn't their music taste if the particular magazine has heavy metal inside it.

How do you consume media?

This tells me that the target audience engage in different ways when consuming media so they know they’re not missing out weather if the information they want is within the magazine or online. Because of this, it shows that the target audience can be loyal to what they follow, be it: Technology, Music, make-up etc form how they get their information about their interest.

How often do you go to a gig?

WeeklyMonthlyEvery 2 monthsevery 6 monthsevery year

From this graph, I can tell that maybe some music magazines do emphasise some bands to the point of going to see them live. It shows how loyal to some bands people are as well as how much they enjoy the genre of music that they listen to. I used this question because I was interested to see if any people did go to any gigs and how many they go to, if they’re at multiple gigs across an amount of time (6 months). The graph proves my question so that cultural hegemony from the magazines could be a factor towards the viewing of some bands live for the target audience.
