Music Magazine Questionnaire

As research for my music magazine i needed to gain a clear understanding of what people like and dislike about the music magazines already out there today. To help me to do so, i created a questionnaire that would help to decide what i should or shouldn't include in my magazine and would also help me to identify my target audience. To create the questionnaire, i used Google Docs. This allowed me to share the questionnaire online through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, meaning i could reach a wide spectrum of people. It also meant that the results that are gathered from those who completed my questionnaire can be quickly and easily collated into a table/graph, meaning that i see patterns and trends immediately.
When creating my questionnaire, i made sure that they're where not too many questions or pages, and created two paths, one for those who buy music magazines and another for those who don't. That way i make sure that my questionnaire is not too vague, but not too long as that can often discourage people from participating.

Introduction


Hello my name is Jonathan Harvey, I am currently studying AS media studies and will design parts of a music magazine for the coursework section of the course. Prior to the main tasks, I will complete a preliminary task of designing a school/college newsletter.
The main task consists of :
  • A front cover
  • A contents page
  • A double page spread
All photographs will be original, and the designs used will be derived from the research I will undertake.
