Reader profile

Using www.surveymonkey.com i created a survey to find out information to aid me in designing my own magazine. I posted the link on my facebook as people go on facebook alot so i would get enough responses. Some of the questions included: what are you favourite music artists? which websites do you visit most? and how do you access new music? I collected the responses for these and presented a few of the revelant ones in this reader profile aswel as adding a few of my own ideas which i think my readers may like. This will give me inspiration to what sort of things i could include in my magazine to appeal to my target audience.



The basics of my music magazine

The genre of music I have chosen to base my music magazine on is a mixture of dance, rave and break beat. I chose to do this as I listen to that sort of music myself so I will have a better idea of what my target audience will be looking for in a music magazine of this genre.Obviously my target audience are people who are interested in this type of music as this is not a very mainstream magazine. This is also aimed at people in the age range of 16 to 20 years, more for the reason that most the advertisements and content are not appropriate for under 16s. I have found few on the internet of this genre but ‘rave’ is one stylistic influence as generally I like the content of it as it definitely meets its target audience. The name of my music magazine will be ‘volume’ as it is suitable for the genre as this sort of music is played loud.
