Overall, I can see that the most common genre (Pop) is not the music magazine I'm creating, so it won't appeal to as many people. Also, I think I'll be calling the magazine Neon, as that's the most common response. I will include lots of articles and photos in my magazine, as that's what the majority of people want to see inside. My magazine will be between £2-£5, which I was suprised about- I thought people would spend less. Also, more 31+ responses came through than I expected. I also have found out that not many people buy magazines any more, and the vast majority of people listen to music everyday. This survey will impact on my magazine task, as it has taught me what people really want to see inside magazines, how often they listen to music, preferred genres, ages, gender etc. These results have suprised me, as my favourite answers weren't what the majority chose, which I found interesting.
