Audience Research

In order to make sure that the magazine i was going to be creating, would be successful, i had to carry out some audience research.
For this i sent out a questionnaire to friends on a social networking site, i also stood out side a music club where various gigs are held often, in kingston called 'the fighting cocks'. All together, i came back with 47 answers to 10 different questions.

For the type of magazine i would be creating, i was able to confirm that my audience age would be 18-21. At first i had in mind 17-19 year olds however i thought this may be a challenge too so i would include elements of my magazine to prove that certain genres of music arent for certain ages.
The most favourite genre linked with these ages was indie and rock.
I also asked what elements of a typical music magazine like NME, Kerrang or Uncut, appeal to an audience like themselves. By geting the answers i did, i was able to come to several conclusions about what i would and would not include within the production.
