Survey Results

My survey results from ‘New magazine survey’
What did you find out?

From my survey I found out that most off the people that took part are mainly interested in a pop music magazine that includes bright colours, lots of things going in the magazine such as the latest information on popular music gigs and interviews of music acts that include personal information about them, such as what do they do in their spare time.

I learned from my survey that my target audience for this pop magazine will be females aged 13 to 16 years of age, as this is what my results from my survey show. From my online survey, I also found out that the individuals that took part ‘slightly often’ read music magazines , so therefore I will make sure my magazine has a new issue at least once a month , which is not very often compared to weekly gossip magazines, such as ‘Heat’ for example.

I will also include many images that relate to the text and the genre of the magazine, as that is what most people are interested in when it comes to reading a magazine. I will create my magazine by interviewing music acts that I want in my magazine, I will take professional looking photographs of the music acts that are featuring in the magazine; however I will create the whole piece of the magazine of Photoshop including graphics that will relate and attract the specific target audience. My magazine will represent different social groups, I will achieve this by featuring different types of pop music from different ethnic and age groups , however I cannot actually feature every type of pop music from different social groups since my official target audience is young females in the UK. This pop music magazine will be aimed at middle class students that are females that have a strong interest/connection with pop music, or pop musical acts such as Rihanna , Lady gaga or Justin Bieber.

The media institution that will distribute my pop music magazine is ‘Immediate Media’, the reason why I have chosen this media institution is because they publish I wide ranch of music magazines such as ‘Top of the pops’, I also believe this will benefit my magazine and create a lot my buyers as it is a popular media institution. Since my target for this pop magazine is young females I will include colours such as pinks and purples because they are hugely associated with female in today’s society. I will also include images of boy bands, as this will attract the eyes of young females because at the age of 13-16 they are usually consistently fantasizing about boys.
