Questionnaire Results

The results of my questionnaire have been interesting and I have concluded that I need to meet the interests of my audience which means I shall have to alter a few aspects of my magazine. (Total of 20 people)

For the question “What genre of music do you prefer?” 45% of people voted for rock, 30% voted for pop and 25% voted for metal. This result is what I was hoping for as I want to focus my magazine around rock/metal. Although pop got more votes than metal, I can’t do both pop and rock as they are two very different genres of music. I will be taking into consideration the lack of interest in metal and shall only include a limited amount of this genre in my content.

My next question “What house style colour theme do you prefer?” had very clear results as two options shared equal votes. Both red/white/black and blue/white/black colour themes got 50% votes each. Therefore, I shall make my choice and choose to use the red/white/black theme because I think red works better with black than blue does.

From my gender question, 60% of people who voted are male and 40% are female. I shall take into consideration both genders and shall try to interest both equally throughout the magazine.

From my results, my age range is centred around 16-18 years of age which is suitable since it will make the magazine much easier to create as I can understand what the age group likes and does not like and I also know what is popular with these older teens.

My next question “Do you prefer a logo to be based on the name of the magazine or something completely different?” got a clear result of 85% wanting a logo that includes the full name of the magazine. I want to ask for a reason why this is so as it may help me design my logo better.

One of my most important questions “What do you like to read about in a music magazine?” got the most varied results with the top answers being new album releases and band reviews with a total of 85% of the votes. I shall have to reduce the amount of information I was going to include on various concerts/festivals and include more content about new album releases and band information.

My last and maybe my most important question “Does the name “Bazinga!” sound like a suitable magazine name for a music magazine?” got a 50/50 answer of yes and no. I shall have to think of more possible names for my magazine and ask my voters again which they prefer.
