Music Magazine Evaluation
Audience Survey-Answers
I asked ten people as I
believed that was a good amount of people to ask to make my results more
reliable. Seven of these people were females between the ages of twelve to
seventeen as this is the target audience in which my magazine would be aimed
at, the other three boys varied from ages fourteen to seventeen, this was to
acquire a wider range of answers, which are shown below.
Front Cover
1. What do you associate with the name (masthead)
of the magazine?
Most People for this
answer related it to music as they said that it was like the beat and sound of
the music, the majority did also say pop genre which I am happy about as that
is what I wanted it to be referred to.
2. What do you think about the colour scheme of
my front cover?
Girly
Pretty
Poppy
Fashionable
Modern
These results show that they
believe that it is girly which is good as the majority of my target audience
are girls from early to late teens which I believe they will favour these
colours most.
Boy
band
Young
Boys
from school
Fun
Pop
The results mainly show that
when they look at these images they think of people having fun, and them just
being regular boys from school. This shows that I achieved what I wanted as I didn’t
want it looking cheesy and fake.
·
Yes 8
·
No 2
The two people that said no were
boys and that wasn’t because they didn’t like it just at the fact that it is
very girly.
5. Which of the following age groups do you think
the magazine should be aimed at? (circle one)
·
11-15 year olds- 9
·
16-20 year olds- 1
·
21-25 year olds-0
·
26+-0
The results show that I chose
the right target audience to aim my magazine at as I hoped people would notice
that, however I would’ve liked a couple of people to say the 16-20 age group as
I don’t want to be too limited on my audience.
6. Which gender do you think the magazine is
targeting? (circle one)
·
Female 10
·
Male 0
·
Both 0
This shows that I chose the
correct gender to aim my magazine at as I wanted to target the female audience
rather than male.
7. What music genre would you associate my
magazine cover with?
·
Pop 7
·
Rap 0
·
Dance 3
·
Hip Hop 0
·
Other……………………………(please
state)
These results shows that my
target audience have recognised that my magazine is a pop genre which shows
that I have made it obvious and people aren’t confused to what style it is.
Contents Page
8. Is the layout of the contents page clear and
easy to use?
·
Yes 10
·
No 0
This shows that I chose the
right layout for my contents page I believe if I had put it all on one side it would’ve
been harder to read.
9. Is it attractive to look at?
·
Yes 9
·
No 1
I am happy with this result as
my whole purpose was to make it attractive for to reader, the person that
answered no said the only reason he did was because he’s not very fond of the
colour pink.
10. Does
the contents page resemble a page from a music magazine?
·
Yes 5
·
No 5
I hoped that more people
would say that it look like a contents page from magazine, however it shows that it is
original which I have not copied from a pop magazine.
11. Do you find the stories interesting on the
contents page?
·
Yes 7
· No 3
The three people that said no
were boys and that was because they thought they were too feminine and wasn’t that
interested in celebrities.
Double Page Spread
12. Does the content of this article interest you?
(give a reason)
·
Yes 8
·
No 2
This shows that people find it
interesting and it’s not just the look that intrigues them they believe the
content is interesting.
13. Does the headline draw you into reading the
article? (give reason why)
·
Yes 7
·
No 3
I think that using the logo on the
front cover was a good choice as it make the look overall a lot better and I think
that is the main feature that draws the reader in.
14. Does the main image represent the article
well?
·
Yes 10
·
No 0
This shows that my main image
was a success as I wanted it to represent them as having fun and being happy,
which is how I have also reflected them in my article.
15. How would you rate the layout of the article?
(circle one)
Bad <1 2 3 4 5> Good
5: 6
4: 3
3: 1
2: 0
1: 0
The people that gave a slightly
lower mark said that they think there should’ve have been a subsidiary image
which I agree with but I couldn’t fit it on without it looking disorganised.
16. Do you think the article looks like a real
magazine article?
·
Yes 6
·
No 4
This gives me a positive result
as most people thought that it looked like a real magazine page which is what I
hoped for.
17. Would you buy
the magazine for the cover price?
·
Yes 7
·
No 3
I think that the price that I have
chosen is not ridiculous as most pop magazines are about £3 therefore making
mine a reasonable price to charge, however the 3 peoples reasons for saying “no”
were that it wasn’t their favourite music genre to read about.
18. How would you rate the overall quality of the
front cover, contents page and double page spread? (please circle one)
Bad <1 2 3 4 5> Good
5: 6
4.5: 2
4: 1
3: 1
2: 0
1: 0
This shows that overall I
have succeeded in producing 3 good pages that I am happy with and hopefully so
would my target audience.
