1.This was the first question of my survey, and out of the possible choices of rock/metal, Indie, Pop and chart music, hip hop/rap, RnB, Dance and house music, Indie music recieved the highest amount of responses, so after this particular result I have decided on the genre of my music magazine which has helped me to decide what kind of artits and style I want to achieve.
2. I added this question to help me decide what features of my music magazine should be dominant and what I should really emphasise to create a magazine that that would successfully sell to a wide audience. The answers I mainly got were about who was on the front cover of the magazine and how the image was presented, so this has reinforced the importance of the selecting of my image and model for my front cover. There were also responses about the features that are included, so the sell lines on my front cover, and the promotions included inside my magazine.
3. I then asked if they were interested in or regularly attended music festivals and if so, what ones. I asked this becauseI I wanted to include a festival feature in my magazine. I also asked this because the festivals that people attend can say a lot about their music tastes and lifestyle and preferences, so this would help me create my magazine. I got mainly the response of Lounge on The Farm, which is a local festival with quite a niche music line up, so this will help me with the artists I want to include in my features.
4. I asked how the people taking my survey listened to their music and nearly all said they used an apple device or programme (iPods and iTunes), so when referring to digital music I will use these programmes.
5. I asked what promotions would be considered interesting, and 90% said they would be interested in a music give away such as a digital download on iTunes or a free CD, so if I decide to include a promotion, these are the ones that will be taken into consideration.
6. I asked then about the price and 90% said they would pay between £2.00 and £3.00, which was not the cheapest option. This has given me a rough idea of how much content my magazine should contain if this is the prices people are expecting an willing to pay.
7. I asked what artists people were currently interested in to see if there were any particular patterns and artists that came up more than once so that I would know who to include and help me develop the house style of my magazine in order to appeal to a wide range. Artists that came up included Florence and the Machine, Cher Lloyd, Adele, Rihanna, Example, Kanye West, Katy B, Jay-Z.
Florence and the Machine was the artist who came up the most so I will include a feature in my sell lines on her, and her album that has just been released.
8. I asked what sections of the magazine people enjoy reading the most and the majority answer was 'Interviews' with 87.5% of the vote. This has helped me decide that I will include as my D.P.S that I will do an interview relating to the image on my front cover.
9. I asked whether the artists that people listened to were more male or female, in order to help me decide on a theme and artists included and image on front cover and the majority answer was 'Male', so I will probably include a male artist on my front cover.
10. I had no answers for extra suggestions.
