Audience research

For my audience research, I stuck to my main target audience of being teens and mainly female. I asked 20 people a few questions on my magazine to get feedback and suggestions for improvements. As my magazine is mainly for female, I asked 15 girls and 5 boys to answer the questions so I can get answers from both but extra answers from my target audience.

The main questions I asked were;
1. What target audience do you think the magazine has?
2. What genre do you think the magazine is and how?
3.What improvements could be made?

For the first question I was given a mixed response. 25% of the 20 had said that the magazine would attract a young adult target audience. However, 50% had said that it attract a teenage audience. The twenty five percent included 5 people, two of which where boys. The other 25% said that they just though it was a younger audience.


For the second question, the response was all the same which was that the genre of the magazine was music. I was told how they could tell and 10% said that it was because of the guitar that is included within the mathead. The other 90% said that it was the artists used for the subheadings as they themselves attract a younger audience and are related to music.

The third question was mainly minor things that I have since improved on. The main one was the text size on the double page spread, in which it was too big. Since then I have made the text smaller and added the rest of the text onto the page as it could fit then.
