The results from my questionnaire show that most people I asked prefer younger types of music such as Pop and Rap. I think this suits how I have decided to style my magazine as I have based it around the Hip-Hop style. The results also show that nobody really buys a magazine every day, this may be due to the pricing of them and the people I asked being young people, they may not have as much money to spend on magazines so they cannot afford to buy as many so they may only buy one once a week or once a month. There was a large amount of people who said that the person on the cover influences whether they will buy the magazine. This may be due to their interest in that specific person and they may want to read more about them. They may just think that they are attractive and they may think that there is a poster inside the magazine that they could have once they buy it. My questionnaire backed up my ideas about my magazine as I feel that my magazine is more specific to their wants and needs.
