Results and conclusions of questionnaire results

I gave out 20 questionnaires, 60 % of the people I asked where female and the other 40 % were male. This shows me that I will make my magazine for both males and females.

I have covered the full range of ages within my target audience which is 16-20 year olds, how ever the majority of the people who filled in my questionairre were 16 year olds. Only 20% of the people I asked were 20 year olds. Therefore I am more than likely to design my magazine to appeal to a younger audience such as 16-17 year olds.

I asked 20 people who there favourite band or singer was, this table shows the results. Two people both said Beyonce, as did two people also say Justin Bieber and Mcfly. This tells me that in my magazine somewhere I should use these artists at some point. By asking people who there favourite band or singer is this gives me an idea of who I should include in my magazine, for the feature content and regular content which will make up the contents page in my magazine.

20 people gave me three words in which they associate with indie. I will tally up the results to show which words appeared to be the most popular and which words I could consider to use in my magazine.

These results have shown me that the words ‘fashion’, ‘hair’ and ‘unique’ are the most popular words in which people associate with when they think of the word indie. This gives me an idea of what people associate with indie music and indie magazines. This also helps me when deciding on a title for my music magazine.

These results shown that..• 3/20 people have the favourite colour Red•6/20 people like the colour Purple•2/20 have the favourite colour pink•1 person out of 20 has the favourite colour grey•7/10 have the favourite colour blue and the other 1 person likes orange.

This helps me when doing my magazine as I know what colours people will like to see on the magazine, for instance I am more than likely going to use the colour blue as a main colour rather than orange as more people like the colour blue.

I asked people how often they buy a magazine. The results shown me that 45% of people only by a magazine monthly, how ever 35 % said fortnightly. This helps me make a decision of how often my magazine will be out. For instance I am not going to do it weekly as only 20% of people said they buy a magazine weekly. How ever as nearly half of the people I asked said monthly, I am more likely to make my magazine every month.

These results show me which aspects people prefer to see in a magazine. These results will have an impact on my magazine. An example this would be that 30% of people said that they like the pictures the most in a magazine. Whereas no body said that they liked the competitions the most. This gives me an idea of what people prefer and will pay for to read in a magazine, helping me to decide what to put and what not to put when creating mine.

I asked 20 people how much they would be willing to pay for a magazine. No body said that they would be willing to pay £4.00-£5.00 therefore by magazine will defiantly not be this price. How ever 70% of people said they would spend £2.00-£3.00, this gives me an indication of how expensive my magazine should be.
