Are you between 17-24
and like indie music?
I Asked this question so that I could see if who I was asking was 17-24 and
liked indie music as this is who my indie magazine is aimed at so I could see
the different opinions of people who are not indie fans and what they think
of the magazine and whether they personally think it fits the indie genre.

4. Question 3: What do you like most
about my three pages for my music
magazine as a whole?
• Colour scheme throughout
• Images- bold, confident, unique girl- reflects indie
genre.
• Font- simple-easy to read.
• Not too busy- good amount of information- could add
a few more images to contents to draw me in more.
This shows me that my magazine is mainly appealing to
the people I asked but could improve by adding more
images of indie artists to show more of a variety of
people who have been ‘DISCOVERED’.

article draws you in, I would want to find out about the cover artist.

read the article as there is not much writing and the image goes along side it. This shows that I
have followed magazine conventions and my audience likes this.

Would you buy this
magazine if you were to
see it in a shop?
Why/why not?- Yes- Images draw me in, not to bright with only a few colours, cover lines
appeal to me, would want to read on, price is good for a music magazine.
No- Would want artists from other genres featured (by name) on front cover to entice me
to read on, more colour needed to attract me.
This shows me that most people are drawn in by everything on the front cover but some find that it doesn’t fit what they are
looking for in a magazine, this shows me it may not appeal to people that do not really like indie music at all.

magazine out of 5 in
terms of it looking like an
indie magazine? (1-best 5-
least)
This shows me that I have been successful in making it look indie and this is
important as it is my chosen genre and if it did not fit this then it would not be a
good magazine that would sell if it was on a shop shelf.

18. Overall, I have found from my questionnaire that
my magazine appeals to my target audience
and fits with the indie genre as a whole
magazine, making my magazine successful for
me as my audience think that it is effective
and works as a real magazine. This
questionnaire has helped me to see if
everything works well or not and has helped
me with what I could have done to make it
even better.
