In this questionnaire, I wanted to find out what people wanted in their magazine. I wanted to know what sort of music they want to hear, what sort of bands they want to see. This is very important, as 70% of magazines are bought on the spot, so I need to attract my target audiences attention immediately! I also used this questionnaire, to find out what sort of articles people like the most, so I can include a lot of that on my front cover and contents, so when people see it, it instantly hits what they want to be reading, like the magazine is 'perfect' for their needs.
I think the cost of a magazine is important, because of the fact the majority of people buy magazines on the spot, they might not have much money on them at that point. So I want to keep the price low, but fair at the same time. So the price question is a really important question to my questionnaire so I can price the magazine correctly.
The main aim of doing this questionnaire was to find out how to make the perfect magazine for my target audience and how I can fulfill their needs and wants in a magazine. The questions I have used address all of these issues well, and are all relevant to my research on creating Rampage.
