Questionnaire

In order to engage the correct target audience for my magazine I needed to indicate he specific age range that most of my readers would be. So that I can adjust specific principles such as content around their age range. From my questionnaire my target audience has an age range of 13 to 17 which implies that the majority of my readers will also fall into this age bracket. For my magazine to engage this audience I need to make the magazine most appealing to this specific age range. I can do this by applying a colour scheme that appeals to them and having articles that they can relate to.

In my questionnaire I asked what colours alongside black and white the respondent would like to see, I gave them a variety of answers in order for them to chose what they thought best for my magazine. The options were: blue, green, red, pink, orange and gold. I asked the respondent to pick two of the colours, as my researched indicated that the majority of magazines have two other colours alongside black and white. From the results I have chosen to pick the two colours of pink and blue as they were the highest chosen colours from respondents of my questionnaire.

Another question I presented the respondents with was which name do they believe appeals to them for my magazine, the name which was most popular was 'strings'. I will also take into consideration the second most popular name of 'naïve' however in order to use my questionnaire efficiently I need to follow the highest popular answers as the audience have selected them. To do this I have chosen to go with the name of 'strings' for my magazine.

 

In order to gain the highest amount of audience members I want my magazine to be affordable and a suitable price for them to pay for it. I asked them how much they would pay for a magazine and gave them a variety of price ranges. Most of the respondents went for the price range of £2.50 to £3 so I will price my magazine to this price range. In order to make the magazine affordable and a suitable price for the magazine.  

For my magazine to fully engage my target audience I presented to questionnaire respondents with the question of what they most look for in a magazine and gave them the options of: interviews, news, top 10 lists, reviews and posters. The highest popular answer was interviews, so in order to use this result. I will include an interview as my main article on my double page spread rather than a news article. I will form a question/answer interview with an artist and have it as the main feature story in my magazine.
