When taking my images I wanted them to be taken in a good location so I chose to take my images in Liverpool City Centre because it is known for its culture of music. Below are the locations on where I took my images.

 
 
 
 

Questionnaire Analysis

As part of my research I made a questionnaire so that I could find out information that would help me for when I came to create my own music magazine. This give me further knowledge about music magazine and what people like about them. I asked 16 people to fill in my questionnaire.

Why do you read them?

Articles  4
Reviews  6
Upcoming events   5
Interviews  4
Freebie's  2
All of the above  1
Other  2 
 
 
 


The people that buy music magazines,  the majority bought them for many things with the most popular reason being for the reviews.
 

Why not?

Too expensive  2
Not interesting enough  7
Don't like the articles  2
Don't like the images  0
Don't like music  1
 






The people that don't buy music magazines, thought that the magazines aren't interesting enough to buy them. Also some don't like the articles and others think that the price is too expensive.

What format do you read magazines?

Print  4
Phone  2
Tablet  1
Online  1





Most people still read music magazines as a print but my research shows that some people use technology such as phones and the internet to read them. This shows a change in the way people read magazines as technology becomes more popular more people are using their devices to read the content.
 

How much do you spend a week on music magazines?



 
Under £5  5
£5 - £10  2
£10 and more  0

I need to know how much people spend on music magazines as this would give me a guideline on what to price my own music magazine. Most of the people spend under £5 which is a reasonable price.

Anthony Black - Solo Artist

Kieran Winrow - Band member

Charlie Mossma - Band member
