Evaluating My Questionnaire

How is it possible to make sure your magazine matches the criteria set out by your target audiences? You can always publish a magazine and hope it sells however the most sensible way to find out all your information is researching that info with a questionnaire. To ensure my hip-hop/rap music magazine has the right content within the magazine it's self I thought the best way to find out all the right information will be creating a questionnaire which tackles every area of the magazine to create a magazine for the public. I used two types of question when taking on board my research, which are Quantitate which is a open question causing one to answer it freely with any type of response to the question and Qualitative which is a closed question causing one to answer the question with either a yes or a no. Question which can be seen below.


After handing out all my questionnaire, I then look at the results and evaluated the results and look at how I could apply this information to the magazine. One question asked, was if you write your own rap lyrics and the result was positive as 60% of people said they do, therefore looking at this information could suggest maybe a section in the feature page of the rapper who going to get covered in the feature page or maybe an article later on in the magazine cover in the contents page.

A question I asked was, what colour does one associate hip-hop & rap with and a high amount of people said black with 42% followed by red coming in at 41%. These figures have help me in my planning, showing me what colours should appear on the front cover, contents page and maybe the feature page. 46% of people who participated in the questionnaire thought it would be the best option to have only one artist on the front cover of the new music magazine, therefore this research will reflect in my front cover. 100% of 16-23 year old we actually willing to take the questionnaire and complete it whilst older ages had no interest in participating, therefore this information reflects on the type of language and overall tone of my magazine.  I also asked the question stating how often do you purchase music magazines and the highest percentage was 40% stating they rarely purchase music magazines. This is a challenging issue to face as my task would be to turn that 40% to zero, therefore, within the first issue of the music magazine, I would be demonstrating a monthly subscription only worth £15 to ensure my target audience purchases a music magazine monthly.
