1. My decision (Genre)
The chosen genre of my magazine is going to be rock. This
decision is mainly based on my previous research as I have
looked at a lot of rock magazines. Rock will also be very fun
to play around with and design a magazine for. The design and
the photo shoots will be easy to do as rock has a unique and
individual look, which is simple to re-create. Rock was not
the most popular genre in my questionnaire however came a
close third. I asked the question ‘What would you like to see
in a music magazine?’ in my questionnaire and the most popular
answer was ‘Upcoming events’. I have researched upcoming
events in the music genre rock and found that they are very
easy to come by which will be handy when including them in my
magazine. There are many rock magazines about meaning mine
will have to try and live up to many great ones, but on the
other side this means I have lots of inspiration and examples
to base my new magazine on.

2. My decision (Research for decision)
The questionnaire I carried out previously will help me out
when it comes to what to include in my magazine. It also
helped me narrow down exactly what genre I thought would be
best to do. Question 3 ‘What are your most preferred music
genres?’ did not show me that Rock was favourite. However the
following question still made me decide Rock was my best
choice. The information most preferred to be seen inside the
magazine was chosen to be upcoming events. These are easy to
find when they are Rock events therefore it made sense that it
would be easy to find information for my magazine if rock was
the genre. When asked ‘How many concerts have you attended?’,
the most popular digits were 6-8 which was an incredibly large
number. I predicted that the people seeing this many concerts
would most probably be rock lovers as they previously play
gigs and concerts. Overall, I thought that a rock magazine
would be the best to do based on all of my research.

3. My decision (Target audience)
My magazine will be based on an audience of both male and
females, roughly between the ages of 16-30. The audience is
quite a wide selection, this is because the magazine does not
target specific ages only, but anyone interested in rock
music. Rock magazines have a unique and individual style, much
like the audience it is aimed at. This means that the style of
my magazine has to be different and must stand out from the
rest, as this is the only way my magazine will become known.
