Questionnaire

1) Would you read a music magazine based solely on one particular genre of music?

The reason I chose to ask this particular question was to see if my idea of creating a magazine to cater for a variety of different music genres would be successful, or whether my target audience would prefer a set genre music magazine.

2) What ( if any ) music magazines do you read on a weekly/monthly basis?

I put this question together to see what types of music magazines my target audience find appealing, so that I can then research them and find pointers as to what to content to include and what style of layout they find appealing. 

3)What is most important to you as a consumer?

I asked this question in my audience questionnaire, so that I can put together some ideas as to what my target audience look for when buying a product that appeals to them most. This will then allow me to include appropriate content which will appeal to them as a consumer, and make my product successful. 

4) Do you have any suggestions to the title of the magazine?

I asked my components this question to allow them to have an input into creating this new music magazine product. Also to allow me to gain an idea as to what type of titles they find appealing and appropriate for this product.

5) What features attract you as a consumer to a product?

I chose this question as again it gives me an insight as to what my target audience find appealing in a product and therefore will help me to determine that I cater for the audiences needs when I am producing the final product. It will also give me a target to aim for by hopefully completing what my audience have asked for when analyzing  my final result. 

6) Would you prefer the main image featured on the front cover of the magazine to be a single, or a selection of images?

This question I felt was crucial to ask as it would determine what style of layout/design I would be using. I would then be able to come to some general conclusions from the feedback I have received and then make a final decision on the layout I should be using, in regards to what my demographic find most important in the layout of the magazine. 

7) In terms of a music magazine do you feel more 'slang' type language is more relatable for you as a reader, or a more formal approach?

This question I asked in relation as to what type of language I should address the readers with, in terms of the content inside the magazine. For example when writing interviews and reviews etc. Also in terms of the front cover of the magazine, whether slang type words of formal words would attract my target audience. 

8) What do you feel is a suitable price for a new released music magazine?

I asked this question to help me determine a price to make the magazine, so that I knew what price range my target audience would be willing to pay for the product.

9) Would you like the chance to participate in competitions, music quiz's etc. inside the magazine?

I asked this question to help me with the general content of the magazine, so that I could decide whether my audience would find the change to interact with the magazine appealing. For example use of competitions, write-ins etc. Or if they would be satisfied without these features. 

10) Would you prefer more of a variety of content in the magazine other than just music?

This question was also related to the general content of my magazine, in helping me determine what features I should include in my magazine. Whether the audience would be more satisfied with a strictly music based content inside the magazine. Or whether they would find a mixture more appealing for example including: News, Film etc.
