Questionare results and analysis

My Questionnaire Results and Question analysis

 

 What catches your attention from a magazine cover? tick as many as you think

The title		30%
The price		0%
The front picture		10%
The headings		10%
The artist on the front		40%
The smaller pictures if any		0%
The interviews		10%
The reviews		0%

 

 

This shows that audiences take more notice of the artist on the front than anything else on the magazine. It also shows that the title is also important to readers and partially interviews,headings and the front pictures. The artist on the front was an obvious choice that I would have chosen as it is the normal thing to see first which has to draw you in. If you are interested in that person that you obviously want to read the article.

Are you male or female and do you think that this influences what magazine you are interested in ?

Male - yes because I would not want to read an gossip magazine or fashion or one with loads of hunky men in 
 

Female and yes because I like fashion and them kinds of magazines because I'm nosey
 

Male I think gender does influence interests as most males would not buy fashion magazines or gossip magazines 
 

Female and yes and I look for different things

 

This information shows that what gender you are does influence you, in what magazine you buy. This research shows that men would not by gossip or fashion magazines, whereas girls would and they enjoy being nosey in celebs lives. However, women would also not typically want to read about motorbikes and cars and football which is why the gender does matter when creating a music magazine as the Creator must make a target audience for it.

 

Do you think that a balance of material is shown in all magazines?

Yes		0%
No		100%
Other		0%

This information suggests that audiences do not think that a balance of material is shown in magazines. Here every person that took the questionnaire said that they are not happy with the balance of material shown. This means that the magazine is not fulfilling its purpose properly and should cover all basis of a magazine. Reader and buyers always want what they pay for.

Do you buy your own magazines or does another source buy them for you?

I pay for my own		100%
Another person buys me them		0%
I look at them on line		0%
I don't waste my money		0%
I don't have enough money usually to buy them		0%

 

Here it shows that everyone who took the questionnaire said that they pay for their own magazine and no one else buys it for them and they don't ever not have enough money to pay for it. This suggests that most magazines that people want and not that expensive and most people can afford them no matter what.

Would you say that magazines draw you in by who is on their front cover or would you say that most people are interested in the articles?

The front cover and the articles relation to it. 
 

Front cover
 
I think that attention is initially drawn from the photography on the cover this then forces people to read the articles.

The magazine front cover draws you in first then the articles draw you in afterwards.

 

Here this research suggest that audiences think that the front cover is the thing that draws you to the magazine in the first place. However, it is said that it draws you in but the articles make you read it if they are interesting. The front cover picture is the main reason why the front draws you in, if you like them then it will work and if you dont then you may be interested in something else involved with the same magazine.

Do you like to read magazines and the way they tell the articles?

Yes		100%
No		0%

 

This shows that audiences like to read magazine and genrally like what the publishers put in them. They like the over all feel and how its told and this is shown by all of the people who took the questionare.

 

 

Where do you live?

This shows that most people that took the

                                                         questionare are from middlesbrough and only one from Whitby.

Middlesbrough	3	75%
Brotton and guisbrough	0	0%
Whitby	1	25%
skelton and loftus	0	0%
Other	0	0%

 

What interests and hobbies do you have or enjoy?

I play football (1)

Photography Cinema Socialising (2)

Not many  (3)

I enjoy hockey and clothing and shopping also music (4)

 

This research shows that there are 2 people that are sporty, one likes a mixure of things and one just did not say. However, this suggests that the people that said plays football and enjoys hockey will be interested in a magazine that is sporty whereas person (2)would rather a photography magazine. This also meas that (4) will also enjoy gossip and fashion magazines, however, all of the above may not like any of what i have concluded but what they have said suggests that they will.

What do your parents or guardians do for a living ?

They have their own business.
 

Dad-  works for british gas mum- accountant
 

Dad - Regional manager for a truck parts company Mother - Sales Assistant
 

They work for various companys

 

Here it shows a variety of different jobs for different parents. However, they all work for a business of some sort and are earning good money. This may suggest that they would buy magazines as they vcan afford it and also making their child afford it to. This also shows that everyone who answerd my questionaire is working class and would not really buy the more exspensive magazines of the upperclass.

 

Who is your icon or hero? Who do you look up to?

I look up to people famous directors such as Michel Gondry and Chris Nolan
 

I dont really have one, but i like many people
 

Dont have one
 

David beckham

 

This shows how people look upto different people and this could lead to them wanting to read about them in magazines which would influence them to buy them. If you see your role model or someone you love on a magazine front cover with a big picture you are automaticly drawn to it .This is why most magazines have famous people on the front or big bands because the band or person will have a massive following and would then read the magazine which creates a larger audience and it keeps on going.
