My Magazine

I have decided that my magazine is going to be aimed at both genders between the ages of 15 and 20. I have decided on this age range as it is similar to my age and I know what would look appealing to people of my age group with the same taste as me. The most popular choice was chart music when I questioned people, but just to widen the audience potential I am going to include a variety of music genres. This way it will appeal to everyone. Red is a colour that attracts both genders, so I am going to use red tones mixed with monochrome so it doesnt look over done or busy. I fill focus on these colours throughout so the magazine looks profesional. The majority of the results said that they prefer to look at images on a page than text, so I am not going to have any pages where there are no images at all. A mass of the people questioned said that the first thing they notice on a magazine front cover is the main image. So I will need an appealing main image so that it will draw in my target audience.

Olly Murs - Arm of Two
This song adds a varient to the magazine as it is quite different to the other songs I posted.

Example - Are You Sitting Comfortably?
This is an example of an unusual song, it is mixed between genres, which suits my magazine as it doesn't have one specific music genre.

Simple Plan - Astronaut

The All American Rejects - Gives You Hell

You me at Six - Loverboy

Charts

In total, I asked 10 people these questions the find out how I should set out my magazine. I will use these results to shape how my magazine looks, so that I know that it will appeal to my target audience.


I am going to make my magazine suitable for both genders.


I am focusing my magazine on chart music, as it was the most popular choice out of the people I asked.


I am going to give my magazine the colour scheme that is most recommended, red, black and white, I am using these because they are suitable for both genders and they are eye catching.


I asked this so I could find out whether to put more text on my magazine or more images. Judging by these results, the majority is with images so I will follow this up on my magazine.


This question will help me with ther date that I put on my magazine.


I have asked this question so that I can concentrate most on the most popular choice which would be the main image in this case.

Questionnaire




This is the questionnaire that I asked 10 people to fill in for my research and planning. I sent them out to a range of mixed age groups and I was given some very different answers by all the participants. I am going to use this questionnaire to determine how my magazine looks and the content it withholds.
