Are you between 17-24 and like indie music?

I Asked this question so that I could see if who I was asking was 17-24 and liked indie music as this is who my indie magazine is aimed at so I could see the different opinions of people who are not indie fans and what they think of the magazine and whether they personally think it fits the indie genre.

Question 3: What do you like most about my three pages for my music magazine as a whole?

• Colour scheme throughout• Images- bold, confident, unique girl- reflects indie

genre.• Font- simple-easy to read.• Not too busy- good amount of information- could add

a few more images to contents to draw me in more.This shows me that my magazine is mainly appealing to

the people I asked but could improve by adding more images of indie artists to show more of a variety of people who have been ‘DISCOVERED’.

These results show me that the way I have laid out the double page spread would entice them to read the article as there is not much writing and the image goes along side it. This shows that I have followed magazine conventions and my audience likes this.

Would you buy this magazine if you were to see it in a shop?

Would you buy this mag-azine if you were to see it in a shop?

Why/why not?- Yes- Images draw me in, not to bright with only a few colours, cover lines appeal to me, would want to read on, price is good for a music magazine.No- Would want artists from other genres featured (by name) on front cover to entice me to read on, more colour needed to attract me.

This shows me that most people are drawn in by everything on the front cover but some find that it doesn’t fit what they are looking for in a magazine, this shows me it may not appeal to people that do not really like indie music at all.

Overall, I have found from my questionnaire that my magazine appeals to my target audience and fits with the indie genre as a whole magazine, making my magazine successful for me as my audience think that it is effective and works as a real magazine. This questionnaire has helped me to see if everything works well or not and has helped me with what I could have done to make it even better.
