Q1.

) Which of these artists

have you heard of or listened
to?
From this question I wanted
to find out which of these
indie music artists were most
popular among my audience
so I could use these artists in
my cover line so that way I
will draw my readers attention
in. From my research I have
found that the most popular
indie music artists are : The
1975, Jake Bugg, Vance Joy
and Sia they all got 80% and
more of the votes. These
artists are generally the ones
which are more frequently in
the charts and most popular
on social media which
suggest that if I want to
appeal to a larger audience I
should use these artists on
my cover lines as they are
proven to be popular among
more of my audiences.

Q2.) What age group do you think

Indie Pop music appeals to most?
From this question I wanted to find
out what age specific group that an
indie pop magazine would target, as I
wanted to know what age specifically
I should target when making an indie
pop magazine. From my research I
found that people mainly believe that
the indie pop music genre should
target age 15-17 year olds as it
received 64% of the votes, however
18+ also got 27% of the votes which

suggests that I should target ages 15-18, meaning that this magazine may not appeal to the
younger audiences.

Q3.) What colour scheme would you

associate with an indie music
magazine?
From asking this question I wanted to
get an idea for my planning of the
colour scheme of my magazine, as I
believe that the colour scheme is eyecatching. From my results I have found
that the most popular choice of colour
scheme was red and white as it got
45% of the votes, the rest of the
answers were balanced and I had
another suggestion of Red and black
which creates a darker vibe than the
red and white would've done. I can refer
back to this when I decide what colour
scheme I want for my magazine, but
from this I have found that Red and
white is a popular colour scheme.

Q4.) What appeals to you more Solo

artists or Bands?
I asked this question as I wanted to
get an idea about what was more
preferred a solo artist or a band, as
this could help to decide my model,
main image, and the cover lines I
include on the cover. From my
research I have found that band were
just a bit more popular but overall
roughly the same as Solo artist got
45% and Bands got 54% showing
that there wasn't a strong difference
in what was preferred, meaning that I
can include both solo artists and
bands without excluding some of my
audience.

Q5.) How often do you listen to indie music

I included this question in my survey as I
wanted to find out just how often people
listen to indie music as it shows their
familiarity with the genre. From my
research I found that my audience were
frequent listeners of the genre so I know
that if I include mainstream artists on my
cover then it will attract my audience.

Q6.) What would you prefer for the main

image? A close up ? A medium close up? A
mid shot? A long shot?
I asked this question so I could refer back
to it during the planning stage of my
photoshoot for my cover, contents and
double page spread. I wanted to see my
audience preferences for the image shot
as from my first questionnaire I found that
the main image is one of the most
important aspects on the magazine and
cover. From my research I found A mid
shot is the preferred choice, however there
were 3 votes of a medium close up so this
suggest that I should experiment with the
different shot types when it comes to
actually taking the pictures.

Q7.) What layout would you prefer? Neat

and traditional or busy and quirky?
I included this question even though its
similar to one of the questions in my
previous survey. I included to see
whether the fact I had a specific genre of
music whether the layout should change
accordingly. From my research I found
that neat and traditional still dominated
but there were more votes for the busy
and quirky once my audience had found
out the genre which suggests I should
experiment with my layout.

Q8.) Which of these indie

magazine have you read/heard
of?
This question I included to find
out more about what magazine
was most popular as it would
mean my ideas could be
influenced by the most well
known indie magazine as they
are successful for a reason.
From my research I found that
the Q and NME were the most
popular which suggest I need to
refer back to my analysis of
those magazines when making
my own as they are the most
successful and well known.
