Questionnaire Planning

In order to create a magazine that appeals to my audience, I have to gather their thoughts and opinions. I will be creating a questionnaire and sharing it with my classmates. My goal is to learn more about my audience's magazine preferences. Such insight will assist me in my brainstorming process.

Demographics

I want my questionnaire to include questions about my audience's demographics to learn more about the people that will be reading my magazine. I plan on including a few questions about their age, gender, and/or race and ethnicity.

Though there has been progress, we have lots of room left for improvement. There is...

Comparing Music Magazine House Styles

Since I plan on creating a magazine dedicated to music, today I will comparing a few music magazine covers and their house styles. I want to take note on any similar patterns that I may notice in different brands. This type of research is essential because I want to create something original, but also appeal to my audience effectively. First, I did research on the Billboard magazine. I noticed their masthead is a thick, bolded, and rounded font with all lowercase letters. Also, there is not a definite color for the masthead, as it changes for every issue. In late 2019, their magazine issues had a vertical masthead, but they have now changed it to appear horizontally (like most magazines). Despite this change, most of their magazine covers tend to direct all of their focus towards the cover image. Next, I looked into...
