I asked 15-19 year olds the above questions. From this questionnaire I found that the genres of magazines that most students in the sixth form would like to read are: RnB, Indie , Dubstep and Rap music. Also, the ratio of images to text they would prefer is 60:40. I asked a few of the students why and they said that it is not very interesting to open a page in a magazine just full of words and they like to read magazines to read and look at and not for study. Most of the people I asked would prefer to read about upcoming new artists rather than recent mainstream artists which is why I wrote my interview in my double page spread about a 'new artist' not worldwide, but in the UK mainly. This helps me to understand what people want so I can create my magazine around what people want to appeal to them.
I also found people find bright colours and professional images the most eye-catching in a magazine. So for my front page, I have included bright colours and professional images. I Asked a balance of boys and girls and the results of the magazines most read were: Heat and NME. I also asked about price, the results found that people would be willing to spend an average of £1.00 - £3.00 on a magazine as they will only read it once and will not keep it forever so anymore money seems unnessasary. The average income of these students was from EMA so they wouldnt have much money to spend on a magazine (unlike the students with jobs). This helps me to understand students' financial situation and gain an insight into what they would pay for a magazine.
