Reader Profile

When people participated in this survey, a number of problems occured. I gave the survey to 10 males and 10 females, who were aged between 16-17. Most people preferred rap, reggae and RnB and because of this I decided to make my magazine based around an urban London industry, particularly focussed on up and coming artists of rap. One of the reasons I decided to focuss on up and coming artists was because many people chose the title 'Up and Comin'' and 'London's latest'. However the majority (60%) of the people who took part in my survey suggested that 'LOUD' would be a particularly good title for a music magazine, particularly in coherance with the London's rap industry.

In terms of the front cover image, 50% of the people I surveyed sided with a male, posing in a picture. However there was still 30% of people who chose 'female' and a 20% of the people suggested the producer would be good, but added 'not particularly appealing'. Therefore I chose to have a male on my front cover, yet with small images of a girl and of a producer, the producer who would be used for the feature of my magazine, so perhaps put him near a 'puff'- for a cd of different artists he has produced, breaking through into the London industry.

The part of the survey that dealt with price and period of times in which each issue is issued, was particularly mixed. However most people were prepared to pay up to 3 pounds for the magazine, making the free cd that will hopfully come with the magazine will be affordable. Nevertheless if the cd is a problem, it could be a possibility that I change it to 'winning an exclusive cd' or perhaps another exclusive offer, rather than a free one with every issue. My magazine would most probably be a monthly issued magazine as 50% of the people i surveyed suggested this would be the best.
