... out of the first 10 responders

(Pilot Questionnaire)

1) Which title do you think suits best for my pop magazine?

ALLPOP!

POPWORLD.

TEENPOPS!

GIRLPOP

TOPpop

At the moment, it seems ‘POPWORLD.’ is the most popular title for my pop magazine, while no one has yet chose ‘GIRLPOP’ (therefore, it is less likely that this title is going to be the name of my product).

2) Which colour scheme would you prefer for my pop magazine?

Purple, pink and white

Orange, white and yellow

(Light) blue, red and white

Half of the 10 responders have chosen purple, pink and white as my main colour scheme. Although, the three results are still quite close so there is still a possibility that either of one of them could be the most popular in the end.

3) Which existing pop magazine are you most likely to read?

TOP of the POPS

WElovePOP.

Other

None

‘TOP of the POPS’ and the ‘other’ choice are drawing with the same results, while ‘WElovePOP.’ magazine and ‘none’ choice are equal with the least amount.

4) Who is your favourite BAND, out of the choices given?

The Vamps

One Direction

Little Mix

The Saturdays

(4) Who is your favourite ARTIST, out of the choices given?

Justin Bieber

Olly Murs

Jessie J

Katy Perry

The Saturdays are twice as popular than the other three choices which are equal with one another. There is no huge difference.

There are very close answers, apart from Justin Bieberhaving not been chosen at all yet, therefore, it is a little uncertain of what would be my definite answer overall.

An interview with an artist

Photos of celebrities beingexposedAccess with a band

Gossip about a particularartist or event

Currently, the majority of people from my target audience want my double page spread to be about an interview with a particular artist. However, the results from the other choices may catch up...

6) Who should be the main focal image on my front cover?

A female

A male

A boyband

A girlband

A female, at the moment, is the most popular decision as my main focal image, and half of this result with ‘a male’. A focal image of a group is not as well-liked with my target audience presently.

7) Approximately, how many images would you expect to see on a pop magazine front cover?

4

5

6

Or more

Many have decided that my pop magazine should have around 5 images on the front cover. I have to take into account that I may not need anymore images than 5, due to the lack of results with ‘6’ or ‘more’.

5

Or more

There are a range of results with all four choices, therefore, this shows that I do need to collect more answers. This is for more certainty for the best possible answer as a whole.

9) Which price do you think is most suitable for a pop magazine?

£2 - £2.50

£2.50 - £3

£3 - £3.50

£3.50 - £4

Close results in comparison with one another, however, I believe the £2 - £2.50 is the most popular choice only because it is the cheapest (I’ve got to keep in mind that most existing magazines nowadays cost slightly more of £2.99 - £3.99).

10) Would you prefer formal language within the double page spread, or informal colloquial language?

Formal

Informal (colloquial language)

It’s fifty-fifty with the double page spread containing formal or informal language text. This conveys that I need to collect more results for a secure answer.This also depends with what the audience had chosen in question 5, of what the double page spread should be about (e.g. If they chose an interview, it will most likely be formal. On the other hand, if they decided on ‘gossip about a particular celebrity’, it might be informal).

11) Which shot type do you prefer to be on the magazine cover, as the main focal image?

Medium Close-Up

Medium Shot

Medium Long Shot

Long Shot

This was a little surprising for me as I, at first, wanted my main focal image to be a medium shot, however, my target audience want currently a medium long shot instead. This shows that my audience research is helping me to decide on what my audience want best out of my magazine.
