After seeing the results from my questionnaire i was able to come to some conclusions.
For question one, 60% of people answered that the magazine title suggested it was about the Dub/Dubstep genre of music. I am happy as the title is clear to a few people, the other answers however were mixed as some people had no idea what it was about and other people answered that the magazine was focusing on dance music.
Question two was effective as everyone person who answered stated that the type of music that the magazine focuses on was DJ related dance/underground/niche. I am happy with these results.
With question three, everyone felt the colours, fonts, photographs, layout etc were all effective and made the magazine seem professional.
100% of people who answered question four stated that the magazine was genuine, I am very pleased with this.
After seeing the results from question five it is clear to my that the contents page just simply informs the reader, yet the pictures are the things that make them want to read on.
Question six revealed to me that the article did seem like a piece of journalism, people compared it to magazines such as Mixmag or NME. I am happy with the article I produced, only one person seemed to be unhappy with the questions I asked in the interview/article as they were not interested in them.
After seeing the results from question seven, I discovered that everyone seemed to like the layout of the article and it made them want to read it, again, I am happy with these results.
