Questionnare, Target Audience & Some Magazine Planning

For my music magazine I wanted to create something for an audience my age, that way it would be easier to discover what that kind things they would like to read about, that they would find interesting. But as everyone should know, everyone is different, and so I made a questionnaire to get a bigger idea of what people would want to read, what kind of genre, and what would attract their attention that they would want to see in a music magazine and so on. I only asked girls, because like I said earlier I want to create something that I could feel would be something that I would find interesting, but as I myself listen to almost every genre of music there is, and this is meant to be a music magazine that would actually sell, I went out to see what people would want.

I asked 28 girls what kind of music genre they preferred, here are my results:

As you can see the Rock and Pop lovers out there won over the rest of the genres by taking over 50% of the pie chart under, where most of the girls I asked listened to pop music, followed by rock, and rock followed by R&B/Soul. I was expecting more people to listen to rock, but then again I only asked 28 girls, maybe I would have gotten a little more accurate results thinking on a national basis if I had asked closer to 100 people, but I will work with the results I found.

I will take the three most popular music genres, and I will make the magazine focus on those three. How big part of the magazine they will depends on the level of popularity it got on the questionnaire. Pop got the biggest piece of pie, and so gets the biggest part of the magazine. Rock and R&B/Soul gets less room than pop music, but rock gets more room than R&B/Soul.

 

 This pie chart shows the same results as the last one, but in this one you can only see the big three of the magazine, and their results compared to each other.
