Before i created my music magazine I produced a Questionnaire to find out what the general public would want from a magazine such as price, Questionnaire (link to the questionnaire)
Price:
allowed me to determine the price that the general public or my target audience would be willing to pay for the magazine so I knew what price to label it as. The majority of people who answered my questionnaire said they would want it priced at around the same price as the other popular magazines.
How many issues a month:
I asked in my questionnaire how many music magazine people would buy a month if they had to, the response was 1 per month however when creating my magazine this wasn't important as on my front cover I have just put the date of the release of the magazine.
Content:
In my questionnaire I asked what contents the public would generally want in a music magazine and the
results showed that the most important to people was the latest news about bands, reviews and news about any any new songs or albums and news about any tours including news about dates for when bands tour as well as festivals
So the main sections of my magazine include: News, Reviews and a Gig guide, these are what I included on my contents page. As its what people said they wanted when they answered my questionnaire
I have also included popular bands in my magazine (System of a Down) as well as the one I made up for my magazine (The Godfathers),
I added known bands as as they are popular and people wanted to see their favourite bands in magazines so I added in plenty of popular bands to appeal to those people as well as some lesser known bands.
Put a hyperlink in to your questionnaire to remind the examiner and me of what you did. You also need to look at giving clear examples as well as being more detailed. And again, the question you've used is not the one set. They can be found here and this wording needs to be used. You've not talked about how your magazine would ATTRACT an audience, it's nothing to do with buying and price. http://chchsmediastudies.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/evaluation-questions.html
