For the past week I have been doing secondary design research, I have looked at numerous images, helping me decide what poses I want my artists to pull, what body language I want them to have, what colours I want in the images etc. I done the same for typography I chose different texts and said what I liked about each and what I would want to take from each image.

Editing my blogs labels.
After editing part of my blog I started changing the colours of the headings and realised my labels were not visible so changed the colour of them, making my blog easier to use and find exactly what you want.

After realising with the help of my teacher that my blog labels were not visible so it was not easy to find what you wanted I decided to add some colour to them to make them more visible.

PRIMARY RESEARCH- AUDIENCE PROFILE
NME READER PROFILE EXAMPLE
After
looking at numerous reader profiles (example of one shown above) I realised the
importance of knowing your audience. If you know what your audience wants then
you can include it, making your magazine desirable and helping to achieve the main aim of any
My reader profile

After finding out from my research what my audience want from a music magazine I was then able to create a audience profile. I looked at other audience profiles such as NME, and showed an example of this on my blog, after looking at this and plenty of research on reader profiles and my own target audience I began gathering images of things that represented my target audience e.g. their favourite brands, clothes they would like, popular artists etc. I then put all these images onto a word document and began writing statistics about my target audience and what they like I even made a fake member of my target audience of what I think they would be like because of the feedback I got from the previous task.

I have finally finished my analysis of my primary research and feel I now have a clear Idea of the kinds of stories my target audience want to see in my music magazine, what artists they want to see and know the genre I now want to do is cover songs, bring old songs popular again by having modern artists perform them. I chose this after seeing how my target audience chose a variety of artists from a variety of decades so cover songs bring together different artists and different decades- they are also proving increasingly popular with many songs in the charts now being cover songs. There is also no other magazines like this so is a clear gap in the market it for it.
I chose to present my results for this in a powerpoint but only bullet point key points and then do an audio description as my previous analysis was all essay and I don't just want essays on my blog.

I have finally collected all my results from my primary audience research, from which I have converted the answers into a graph so they are easy to read, I done all this using a technology called survey monkey. I will then analyse these graphs to explain what I have found I have chosen to do this using powerpoint.

I began putting together for my questionnaire today, I included a variety of questions from closed ones such as 'what is your age' to open ones 'what music do you listen to' I am doing this questionnaire and then will post it on a popular social network for my target audience such as facebook, to get the correct age sample I want and find out what my target audience would want to see in a magazine. I will then just have to wait for replies. This research will give me a clear incite into exactly what my target audience want to see in a magazine and therefore what I should include because I done a questionnaire for my preliminary task I have a better idea of what questions to include and how to get answers I will not ask for answers this time I will give the option to fill it out on a social network so only those interested in music magazines will fill it out.
