Questionnaire Analysis

Questionnaire (Primary Research)

I have created my own questionnaire in order to find out what my target audience want and expect from my magazine. My primary research will help me make more profit as by knowing what my customers want I will be able to make my magazine better to suit the needs of my customers therefore they will buy it.

Audience Theory - Hypodermic Theory

There are other theories which are more modern, such as the the Uses and gratification theory (1974) by Blumler and Katz, unlike the hypodermic needle theory this theory is not passive. It includes four main characteristics, it looks at Diversion in media- escape from everyday life this can be through films and dramas ect, personal relationships - using the media for emotional and other interaction this can be through social networking sites ect, personal identity- finding yourself reflected through texts, learning behaviour and values from text this can be through music or soap operas and through surveillance- information which could be useful for everyday life, for example news reports, financial news, ect.

3 Hip-Hop Front Cover Analysis'

3 Rock Front Cover Analysis'

These were the first front cover analysis' I created in class were all on a famous rock magazine called Kerrang, but I felt that I should really make other ones as I decided I wanted to make a Hip-Hop magazine rather than a Rock magazine, the second reason I decided to make new ones is that I did not use all of the correct terminology in these front cover analysis' therefore in my Hip-Hop analysis' I chose to make them look more professional and I used all of the correct terminology. And the third reason was that I did these analysis' all on the same magazine and I thought it would be better to have three different magazines to show variety in my work.

When I took pictures of the analysis' it didn't come out clear and I could only access an A4 photocopier; this is why I scanned the A4 analysis and took a picture of the A3 to show my creativity.
