I asked 20 people these questions and I had a mixture of answers. For example:
1. Through subscription to the magazine company.
I do not read magazines.
2. N/A
I like to read more fictional books than magazines.
3. If it's a genre I'm interested in.
Interest in developing musical knowledge
4/5 I thought it grabs your eye due to the larger image.
I thought the masthead was eye catching and intriguing.
6. No, because it is fun and lively and fits the genre.
Yes, it is a bit too involving
7. Yes, because it follows the nit and the git of the heritage of jazz. However, the gold indicates the classiness that jazz can be.
8. The featured stories of the magazine seemed interesting and made me want to read them.
The image because it is large and eye catching.
9. Yes because it is accessible to the intended target audience
No because students don't earn enough income to buy a magazine weekly.
10. Yes, because there is everything which would be expected to be included in a jazz magazine.
11. Yes, because the images make the front cover appealing.
Yes, because if there were anymore the magazine would be too crowded.
12. In the contents, the font size is a little small and is uneasy to see.
It is a good size for the target audience.
13. Yes, because all references are jazz related.
No, because there are too many artist references.
Good- now you need a full analysis of the results. You could present these in the form of a graph/ bar chart - you certainly need to analyse the findings
