Music Magazine Survey Analysis

• From my survey , it is clear that more females are interested in music magazine with 63% of them filling in the survey.
• The most common age in the survey was 14-18 and 30+ being the least which means when creating my music magazine it has to be fun, colourful and appropriate for the right audience.
• The magazine will be a mix between pop and dubstep with both of these categories of music being the most popular in the survey.
• From my survey it is agreed that the house style will be black,white and red, fitting in with a pop and dubstep theme.
• As 'Bass' was the most popular magazine name, I will use this.
• The audience thought it would be best to publish the magazine once a fortnight which means the people who are dedicated to buying it will have time to get the money they need to buy it.
• The audience are willing to pay anything from £1.95-£3.99 to the magazine but the cheapest option being the favourite.

MixMag
My magazine will be published by 'MixMag'. MixMag  was the world's first dance music magazine and has been the market leader ever since. The first issue was printed on 1 February 1983 as a 16-page black-and-white magazine published by Disco Mix Club, a DJ mailout service.  The magazine, which reached a circulation of up to 70,000 copies during the height of the popularity of acid house, was later sold to EMAP Ltd.   Mixmag is now a magazine for the entire world of dance music, whether you like hard boshing music that's quite druggy, or chill out music, or you're someone like me who likes to keep in touch with the music but has grown out of clubbing. This idea that dance music is a kind of minority interest, a bit like ska, is wrong."http://www.mixmag.net/
NME
NME could also publish my magazine. It was created by Theodore Smythson, is a UK weekly pop/rock music journalism publication, published since March 1952. It started as a music newspaper, and gradually moved toward a magazine format during the 1980s, changing from newsprint in 1998. It was the first British paper to include a singles chart, in the 14 November 1952 edition. In the 1970s it became the best-selling British music newspaper. http://www.nme.com/magazine
