I asked these questions so i could find out what is more popular and help me come up with what i like best from the outcome. I asked the questions how often do you buy a magazine? and how much would you spend on a music magazine? So i could find out whether i should do a monthly or a weekly magazine. Also how much people of that age range are willing to pay for a magazine, and what it is that they are expecting in the magazine for the price.
When the questions have been answered by a group of people, i will decide what type of things i will be putting inside my music magazine as i already have an idea of how i am designing and layingout my front cover.
