These Are My Questionnaire Results

I did a questionnaire to ask people of all different ages, gender and opinions what kind of things that they would like included in my new music magazine. I asked 25 different people to give there honest opinions on what they would personally want in the magazine that I am creating. All the people that gave me answers to my questionnaire I put them in tables to see what opinions people had were most popular compared to other opinions that people had.

All the answers that I received have helped me make a final decision on what I am going to do to my magazine. As all the answers were different it has meant that if I create my music magazine including all the features that people on the public wanted then I know that I will be able to achieve a good amount of customers which will then help me to start targeting the primary audience for my music magazine.

These are all the pie charts that I was able to make due to the answers I received from the 25 paper questionnaires that involved 10 separate questions.

These Are My Main Choices For A Masthead

Music Magazine Masthead Ideas

I came up with a list of roughly 10 names that I would like to use for my Music Magazines Masthead. I came up with a few different ideas for the 10 different ideas that I had, they all show a range of different techniques that you can use to create a masthead for my final music magazine. These mastheads aren't very professional however when i was choosing ideas for the magazine i was able to experiment and think of new ideas that would fit with the genre that i had chosen which is pop. 

Here are all the main ideas that i thought of.

Brand Identity

Brand Identity is shown in the front cover of NME magazine as a way to show an audience what brand of magazine that it is. Brand Identity is all the elements of a magazine that are put together to create the visual appearance, they pull in the audience and customers to read the magazine. All brands have there own different brand identity and visual appearance, however its hard for a magazine to create its own personal identity as you have to make your magazine different so that it stands out from others. Brand identities change peoples perceptions of a product as  the brand identity decides if the magazine is cool, relaxed or informal which makes the reader decide whether they like it or not. The name NME is well recognized by all the audience which means that NME is able to make sure that there customers will buy that magazine straight away without having to look at other magazines to try finding it. Visual brand identity is things such as colour scheme, magazine logo and font of the texts which makes the  magazine so different and unique from others. Without the brand identity the target market will find the product hard to find whereas if a brand sticks to its own developed identity will find its easily to produce products in the market place. 

Whereas the magazine MOJO has a different brand identity. Looking at the brand identity of this magazine you would think that this types of magazine was dull, written for people with high intelligence and that the magazine is very calm and organised. It comes across as quite a formal magazine by the use of dark and dim colouring, but also by the use of the types of artists that are on the front  cover of the magazine.  People that read this magazine are relaxed and enjoy 

listening to the older types of music which could mean that the target audience for this magazine is older than other music magazines such as NME could be. 

My Prezi

I did textual analysis on the NME magazine to find out more information on how a good magazine is created and how that you are able to make a good magazine. I looked at a variation of different things that NME does to there magazine including the artists that they use on the front of the magazine and also found out about NME's press pack (who publishes this magazine). I presented the information that i found out in a Prezi presentation as its different than how other things are presented which makes it more interesting for people to watch and understand.
