Target Audience Questionnaire Analysis Reggae music
Introduction I have conducted a questionnaire to get peoples opinions on how and what I should put in my magazine. Firstly I had asked 20 people, these included friends, students, family and teachers to fill out my questionnaire. They all did this independently and anonymously to ensure the responses were honest and were not influenced by other peoples decisions. After I had all of my 20 responses, I had analysed my feedback and created visual pie charts on Microsoft Excel so that the result were easy to read, this enabled me to construct charts using the information I had obtained. this allowed me to make easy decisions. I then transferred the charts onto Microsoft PowerPoint to create a presentation, so that I could conclude the results, in addition I have written a brief summary underneath each chart describing my findings and explaining what I will be doing In my magazine from the feedback I had received. Finally I uploaded the PowerPoint on to slide serve, so that I could upload it to WikiSpaces.
Key findings Things I will take into consideration while creating my magazine, which was influenced by my feedback: • My target audience will be students ages 16-20. • I will be appealing both males and females. • I will be doing a Reggae magazine based on current artist. • I will be putting interviews and reviews in my magazine. Therefore for my double-page spread I will do an interview for the current artist from my front cover. And make the review my main cover line on my front cover. The remaining options I will put in my contents page. • The title for my magazine will be ‘Roots’ • The magazine will cost £4.00 and it will be released monthly.
