Questionnaire


I have decided that in order to start my music magazine i must decide what type of music I should aim for. I think that the best way to do this was to do a questionnaire into what people listen to, enjoy, the price they would be willing to pay as well as other things
I have already decided on an age range between 15-22 years of age. I used this age group as it's the one I'm in. This would allow me to use my own knowledge and would make it easier to get hold of people to use for interviews and questionnaires and quick questions as most of my friends are in this age category as well.
This here is the questionnaire that i decided to use when asking the public:


Why i chose a music magazine.

I decided to choose print as i believed that you have much more flexibility in making the print. I thought that the video was not fun to do as it had strict guidelines as what needs to be done and you could not add your own creative flair into it. The advantage of a music magazine as that i am interested in music and will therefore be able to add what i think is good and interesting music which maybe be a new type of genre, or just a new band that is new on the scene.
In our preliminary task i used Adobe Photoshop and although it did not find it easy to start with in the end i was comfortable using it and did not want the knowledge i have gained using it to go to waste. I also felt that the video did not take a lot of time and i didn't know how i would be able to improve this to make it look very professional however i know that with the Music magazine that if i put time and effort into i will be able to replicate a real magazine and also try and make it have something different to the rest of them. I believe that i will be able to add something different in my music magazine as i read other magazines (such as Rugby world, GQ and FHM) that have special games and articles that do not feature in music magazines that i will try and reproduce these but in a music way.
