Questionnaire Results

Magazine Results
This is the results of my questionnaire, I have only done 10 people due to the obvious trend shown by most questions. I will take these results into great consideration when planning.

also, questions such as the last question's B are on a separate line because they didnt fit on one line in the embed document (but did in the document itself)

Blank Questionnaire

Magazine Questionnaire
This is the blank hard copy of my questionnaire, I will use this to gather the generic but essential information such as layout from individuals who are within the age range for my planning and production stages.

Strange errors with scribd which arent my doing: some of the letters have oddly changed colour, the document itself is fine. Also, the £ sign shows up on Scribd but on the document it appears as the euro, thats why my subheading is that way

Institutional Research

Bauer Media Group: Through the internet,I have found that Kerrangs insititution is likely to sell my magazine; they are a large german company which publish the Kerrang! magazine. This fact is the reason I believe they would publish my magazine, as Kerrang! is the magazine I will be drawing alot of inspiration from, making  it something this paticular insitution would be interested in.

Time Inc: This is the publisher of NME magazine, this magazine is seen as the rival of Kerrang! but is it very different, therefore, if I were to give my magazoine to them, which has the features that make Kerrang!, logically, they would take it in order to try to directly compete with Kerrang! in the same Genre

General Audience

 it is clear that my general audience would be similar to Kerrang! (the first double page spread in my powerpoint) which seem to be on the more 'wild' and passionate side of Rock.

Genre Mind Map (Ideas)

Disclaimer: Click it if you cant read it


since I already have a general idea of what im going to make, using my own Knowledge, my earlier Powerpoint, and the Internet, I narrowed my options down to three genres I think would suit my idea, and put down some general facts and trends that magazines of that genre seem to have and/or share, to pin point which genre I should do.

I have decided to do one of the Rock genres as that seems to suit my idea, either Indie or normal. Which one however will become apparrent in planning when I put my idea from head to paper and elaborate it into a complete idea.

Pre Production: existing magazine analysis

Media Studies Coursework

This is my existing magazine analysis of two covers, contents and double page spreads. All magazines in this powerpoint have layouts and look generally like something I would like to do, so I will take them into consideration when I plan my magazine

Time Plan

This is my Time Plan.....

The days and months at the top are irrelevant in a sense (although the exclamation mark indicates to have a rough copy on the 4th to 7th of March), as this is meant to show how long I think I will take on a task.

Preliminary Task

Here is my Preliminary Task, as you can see, it is split into two parts:


Cover


 Contents Page
As such, it fits the specification of having a cover AND contents page, in addition to having a nice medium close up of a rather dashing gentlemen, well placed text (its very readable) etc
