10. If you answered yes above, who do you like this magazine?
For this, I got a variety of answers such as:
Feature my favourite bands
Free posters
It speaks my language
Good feature articals and interviews
It's funny
Gives a good sum up of things without going on about it for too long.
Like reading the live reviews
With these results, I have decided that making a Indie/Rock magazine is the best thing to do. It will priced between £2.50-£3, as clearly my target audience don't mind paying a bit extra for a good quality magazine. I'll make sure to get the picture on the OFC right because that's why people mainly buy a magazine. It will be a weekly magazine. Also, in the layout, I think the images will dominant the page more than the copy for my main article.
By the way, I don't know why some numbers have gone weird. Or why some of the font is smaller than other bits. I've tried fixing it but it won't work for some unknown reason! :/
