After handing my survey to 50 people, I gathered the results to find what my demographic was and to see what would be appropriate to include in the magazine.
The results showed that 90% of the people I had given the survey to were male and a majority were 15-20. This shows that the demographic that my magazine should be aimed towards are teenage and young adult males.
Of the people that actually bought magazines, there was nearly an even split between Kerrang! and NME, with only 4% choosing the other options, so I should use Kerrang! and NME as references in my research of popular magazines. The reason for these magazines, 56% of the time was Bands/artists featured and 28% was Layout of the magazine.
For the costs of the magazine a majority answered £3-£4, showing the magazine should have a certain level of quality in the printing, but not too expensive, so it's still accessible to a lower and middle class audience.
The types of articles read were interviews (42%), features (30%) and news (28%). This means I should at least try to include an article from all 3 on the contents page and the best option for the double page spread would be an interview.
The majority prefer their magazines to contain competitions.
