4. Summary By doing a survey, the answers I got have made me think about how I want to design my magazine. For example I have found what kind of genre people like such as RnB. They would also like interviews from good bands. I could use the results to my questionnaire when I am designing my magazine to make it more attractive to my target audience. I also found out from the results of my survey that a lot of people like going to gigs and festivals. Furthermore, I found out that people like RnB genre type music, this has influenced my decision that I am going to my magazine and RnB type of magazine. I also found out that most people like watching MTV rather than the other music channels, MTV is where RnB mostly comes on. This has influenced me to make a magazine and include something from MTV in it. E.g. the person I have as my cover image is going to be a RnB star from MTV. Abdul Ali
5. Summary (continued) From the results of my survey I acknowledged that a lot of people like going to gigs and festivals, they like going to gigs where the artist sings RnB songs I could information and pictures of the past concert in my magazine this would attract my target audience even further, I could put in competitions to win tickets to these concert, this would really light the eyes up of my audience.
