Reader Profile

Genre:
I found from my Media class filling out my survery that Dubstep is the most preferred genre of music, and that 80% of those people are male. This has helped me decide to do a Dubstep magazine, but instead of making it male orientated I want to introduce some female based pieces in my magazine to make it available to both sexes.
Title:
20% liked the masthead 'Drop' and another 20% liked 'Buzz', showing that they are both the weakest titles. 'Dubstep' and 'DUB LDN' are the two most popular names, and I prefer 'DUB LDN' as it is less formal, more modern and 'hip' which is the look I want to go for.
Colour theme:
40% liked black and white, equally 40% liked the idea of having fluorescent colours as well, and I think that fluorescent works better with the idea of Dubstep, as most raves (which I will be reviewing) are filled with people dresses in bright fluorescent colours, with bright lights etc.
Writing on front cover:
It was exactly half and half for having a lot of writing on the front cover. 50% said that they wouldn't like it but the other 50% did, and I personally think that it would stand out more with lots of writing on the front cover. I would try not to make the front cover over crowded but I think it would make more on an impact on the shelves.

Most 16-17yr olds wouldn't pay more than £1 for a magazine, showing that the people who took my survey are not willing to pay a lot of music magazines, restricting the budget on the magazine.
