Research and Planning-What I found from my target audience

I conducted several audience interviews in which I recorded myself and other classmates interviewing our target audience (teenagers) about music magazines. Also I handed out ten questionnaires around my class which were also asking question about music and music magazines.


From doing this research I found:

• The colour scheme I should use for my magazine is black, red and white. Possibly I could use some greens.
•  The most popular music magazines were Q and Kerrang. Therefore I will look on the styles, layout and content of these magazines and base my designs on them to make sure it also appeals to my target audience.
• The features that people will most enjoy reading about are news about bands/artists and interviews. I also found that people didn't like reading the sections where readers write in to the magazine.
• The most popular genre's of music amongst my target age range are indie, rock and pop. This is relevant to my magazine as it will be an indie/rock genre magazine which means my target age range will find it appealing.

All this information that I've gained will be useful to me when designing and creating my music magazine.
