My questionnaire had a lot of positive responses including the fact that many people believed that my genre was easy to tell. I think that I have effectively created the magazine to reflect the Indie Rock style music, but I wouldn't of been able to do this as well if I didn't do the format research. This was a substantial aspect of me being able to reflect my genre in order to create a brand.

The results In which i got from my questionnaire was a way of me assessing if the target audience I have chosen suits my magazine. By asking peers and a range of people has meant that I can see  their own perceptions of my magazine, which have helped me judge whether my magazine is targeted at the right people. All those who answered my questionnaire said that my magazine was suitable for my genre. As well as suggesting that the colour selection both relates to the genre of my music well. 

When making the magazine I always new that INDIE Rock something the younger generation was more into, which instantly lead me to targeting the younger audience as well as including different aspects that might entice an older audience, I knew I needed to make the magazine fun through the previous format research. So that was why I did my first questionnaire asking what colour it should be etc. This essentially determined what my magazine would be like. The results from my questionnaire helped to identify different aspects of my magazine such as colours and main image. Now I have produced the magazine I did this questionnaire as a way of seeing if I suited my target audience, because then it would mean my magazine was a success. I am happy with these responses because they all seem to be positive. I now feel that the decisions I made regarding the colours and the layout of my magazine were effective because it suits the audience I was aiming, I purposely went with conventions when making the masthead because I wanted it to be centered in the top of the page, which would mean that it is the focal point.
