Following my initial research, I conducted a questionnaire with a focus group of people who are within my target audience; below are my findings:
Primary Audience
The most common genre listened to amongst the recipients was Pop music (8) , followed by RnB (4) and a tie between classical, k-pop and alternative music (3).
As most of my sample engage with popular culture regularly, this will influence me to include recent pop culture references within my website and covers through intertextuality.
30% of my sample have not read a magazine, so this will influence me to create two covers that would catch the eyes of those who wouldn't usually pick up a magazine
70% of my sample would like a magazine centred around genres they like, so I would design a magazine which caters to multiple genres; 20% of my sample would also like new artists to feature, so I thought of creating a magazine that showcases new artists from genres that people enjoy to fulfil the needs of both of these groups
These are some of the recipients of my questionnaire and how they would apply to the creation of my magazine:
