Main Task: Audience Research

These are the questions that I asked people to find out their views on hip-hop music and what they would like to see in a hip-hop magazine. I then took screen grabs of some of the responses that I got. All the responses that I got would help me to create my hip-hop music magazine.

These are the questions that I asked:

1. What word(s) come to mind when you think of hip-hop music?

2. On the front cover of a music magazine, what catches your eye? The title, text, image or other?

3. Do you think specific genres of music magazines should target pnly a specific audience and why? If yes, what age group?

4. How much would you pay for a hip-hop magazine? £1-£1.50, £2-£2.50, £3-£.50, £4-£4.50.

5. Which do you prefer single reviews or album reviews?

6. What sort of stories would you like to see in a music magazine? Life stories or gossip?

7. Would you like to see a different artist featured every month?

8.Would you like to see artist fact files?

9. Would you like to see features of upcoming artists?

10. What size font do you prefer? Small, medium or large?

11. Would you like to know information on tours?

12. Would you like to see a list of the top 100 songs?

13. Would you like to see competitions where you could win goodie bags, concert tickets and backstage passes?
