Main Task: questionnare

For this task I had to design a Questionnaire based on these  three Music Magazine Front covers I have been studying; RollingStone, Metal Hammer and Classic Rock. I picked these three Covers because of how different they are from one another.

 

This is the questionnaire I made based on the three front covers, Firstly I wanted to see if the target audiences of the covers had any link with age, so my first question was based around age. My second question is used for further reference (meaning you can't answer the others without answering this question) this question asks which of the three covers was the readers favourite. the later questions include things like; why do you like the cover? is the information useful? who do you think is this magazines target audience? Etc.

 

RollingStone's magazine is the more 'Artistic' of the three covers, its use of a collage to form the face of a famous artist adds a creative theme to the magazine. The use of this artist, Jay Z, makes this magazine more "Modern" compared to the others since he is more popular to todays demographic.

 

 

Metal Hammer's front cover has a darker tone compared to the others, including the artist on the central image, Rob Zombie, who make heavy metal songs as well as some high and low profile horror films. so this magazine feels more exclusive to fans of him and fans of the same genre. this magazine doesn't have the easier approach that the other two covers have.

 

Classic Rock's Front Cover follows most of the traditional codes and conventions, it uses a cover that features one of the most famous bands of modern rock, Guns and Roses. the use of this band in their cover makes the magazine easier to approach compared to the other two which has either a lesser known artist (Metal Hammer) or an artist more familiar with youths rather than older generations (RollingStone) on its front cover. This cover has a balance between older and newer generations.
