Questionnaire Results
An overview of the answers from the 46 participants of my questionnaire:
The answers from those who buy music magazines:
The answers from those who do not buy music magazines:
The results from this questionnaire will help me to decide large things like what sort of age range music, in particular Metal magazines are popular with. As we can see, this is the 15-18 age range, which supports my choice of target audience, with most of the participants being male, i can also deduct what sort of content to include in the magazine. Even smaller things like the price are influenced by the questionnaire, as we can see most said that they do or would be willing to buy a magazine that was priced £2-£3.

Magazine Title Evaluations
Zerstören: After much deliberation, this shall be the name of my magazine. Zerstören is the German translation of 'destroy', a word I had played around with when thinking of words that could be related to the Metal genres. I believe that this title is suitable for a metal magazine for several reasons, with one being that Zerstören is a song from German Industrial Metal band Rammstein. I personally believe that the word is aesthetically suitable for a masthead, it also holds connotations of power, aggression and complexity, sourced from both the definition of the word itself and the associations of the German language.
Poison: This was another name for the magazine that I came up with during the mind-mapping process. The word 'Poison' immediately produces ideas of harm, toxicity and other perceivably dark things that are associated with Metal genres. However, I decided that it wouldn't make a suitable masthead, choosing Zerstören instead.
Titanium: This was a third idea came up with for the name of my magazine. Titanium, to me, brings connotations of strength, power, durability and force. Being a metal used in the construction of tanks, I believe its earned such associations. For that same reason, it makes a suitable name for a Metal Music Magazine, not only for that, I also think that 'Titanium' would make a good mast head for aesthetic reasons. However, I decided not this as the name of the magazine, as I believe the word could be tied to the Hip-Hop genres, making Zerstören, amongst other reasons a more suitable Metal Magazine masthead/name.
