Target Audience- research content questionnaire

I asked 10 people to fill out audience research content questionnaires with 10 questions all about what content they would expect to see, for example what colour scheme they would want to be used or whether they would prefer the magazine to be dominated by pictures or text.

80% of the people i asked said they would rather see more pictures in the magazine than text, only 10% said text and the final 10% said they would like to see it evened out.

When asked who's point of view they would like the content to be written from 40% of the people asked said they would like most of the magazine to be written by students. 20% said they would like an even balance of writing from students and teachers. Therefore the remaining 40% said they would like to see the content written by teachers.

I also asked the people completing my questionnaire whether they would like the magazine to be focused on sixth form rather than lower school years and exactly half of the people wished for the magazine to be just for sixth form leaving the other half wanting the magazine to be about the whole school.

Target audience

Genre for music magazine

I intend to produce an indie/rock music magazine similar to famous magazines like NME where the main focus of the front cover will be a big central image of an indie band. It will be aimed mainly towards teenagers/young adults who I feel are mostly likely to buy a product from this genre.

Research in to similar products- Magazine with same genre

The massive central image of the huge hip-hop star Eminem will attract a lot of readers who are fans of his music, the title is also very eye-catching as as the big bold white lettering contrasts to the red background.

The 'T in the park' logo stands out as the yellow stands out on a black background and will attract any fans of the festival who will be attending.

The white sub-articles and artists names on the black background also stand out which is very effective as not all readers will be a fan of Eminem but may be interested in the sub-articles.
