Research Analysis

The majority of my research was answered by females (60%) followed by 30% of males and 10% other. It is good that most of my questionnaire was answered by females as that is my target audience so their opinion is most valued.











Most of my questionnaire was answered by 16/17 year olds, followed by all the other age groups. This is a bit older than what I first planned my target audience to be however I believe they will have similar interests so it would still work for my magazine.









The most popular colour was pink closely followed by purple and blue. The least liked colours were green and yellow, so I will not be including them in my colour scheme.

The most appealing text was "Text 3" so I will most likely use that text for my masthead. It was followed by "Text 1" so I might use it somewhere in my magazine as my audience appealed to it. I will not be using "Text 4" as it did not appeal to my target audience at all, so if i do use it, it might put them off.

The most preferred music genre was pop (43%) which is also a positive as it gives me an insight to what my audience enjoys. The least liked genre was classical (7%), which I am not that surprised by as it is not conventional for my audience to listen to it.

Even though, most of my target audience reads a magazine once every month, they would prefer the magazine to be distributed each week. Moreover, the second most preferred time of distribution is monthly, so I will most likely stick to that one.

The most preferred price is £1.99, followed closely by £1 or less. Due to my target audience not being employed, the price of the magazine will be quite low so it's appropriate to them.

The most appealing layout was the T design, closely followed by the C design. I will most likely use the C layout as it is more conventional than the T layout. Also, it will allow me to place more teasers across my front cover.

The most preferred artist to read about is Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Little Mix. These artists are the most popular at the moment in the music industry, this is due to several different reasons; scandals, appearance and new music. Therefore I will include different types of celebrities so it applies to most of my target audience.

There was an equal divide between people who wanted the magazine to be printed and accessed digitally. Therefore, I think I will produce a print copy and a digital.














The most preferred topic to read about was celebrity gossip. I may use throughout most of my magazine. For a cover line I could use a rumour or a scandalous quote.

The majority of my audience reads a magazine once a month, so I will most likely release my magazine each month. However, 20% of my audience reads a magazine everyday and the other 20% probably reads it less often than once a month.
