The document discusses a survey that was conducted before creating a magazine to get ideas about what content would interest the public. It asked questions about gender, age, music genres, and including fashion. Although some results were unexpected, the creator used the feedback to help decide on a target audience of teens and develop a pop music-focused magazine that included a few fashion articles.

What is your gender? For my first question I initially wanted an outcome of more girls than boys to answer this question, because that’s who I wanted to aim my magazine because being a girl myself I feel like I can relate better to females and I could provide greater quality content for them. But since I got an unexpected result I was forced to change my target audience, so to compromise I decided to aim my magazine at both genders so I could appeal to a wider audience; making sure I have as many readers as possible.
What is your age? I then asked ‘What is your age?’, the response was 6 teens and only 1 adult; I’m glad I got this result because right from the start of this task I had wanted my magazine to appeal to teens because I relate to teenagers more so I would know what style and content they like, my results only reinforced my plan to do a teen magazine.
What genre of music are you most interested in? The third question was about music genres, I wanted to see which one was most popular with the public so I could get the most amount of readers possible; although Pop was the second best category, I still made my magazine in the Pop genre because I felt that I knew this genre better, being a fan of Pop myself, so I would be able to give the articles more depth and make them appeal more.
Would you be interested in a music magazine that includes fashion? My fourth question got quite an even response overall but the majority did say yes, however I was still aware that just under half of the people asked said no to fashion- so to ensure I was still appealing to both sides I decided to include only a few articles of fashion advice so that the people who wanted fashion would be satisfied yet the people who said no wouldn’t feel bombarded by it.
