Analysis Of Results

From my research I have found out what would make my magazine stand out on a shelf and what would attract people to it. Using the questionnaire I have found out that one of the most popular magazines is KERRANG! Which focuses on Rock and Metal music therefore this may be a good path to follow. But there was an obvious difference between what different age groups preferred, the younger range preferred KERRANG or NME whereas the older range went for Q, I will have to take this into account when think about the audience of my magazine. The majority of the people I asked would buy a magazine because or the artist on the front, especially if it’s a full band shot, but there were some people who were drawn in by the article inside rather than the image. Audience theory is also important to take into account. Including a free gift seemed popular, the most popular being a CD or a poster, most magazines always have posters in the middle and include CDs occasionally. One of the most important questions was the name, after analysing the results I have found out the most popular name is Noise. It makes people think of music and sounds loud and exciting. Finally people think the best colours to use would be Red, Black and some Grey, as they think it would look good and stand out on a shelf.
