Market Research Survey

Market Research Survey

For today's research, I created a survey so that I would be able to get feedback from fellow students considering their preference in magazines. This data would allow us to make sure that the genre we selected would actually appeal to the audience and also would give minor ideas as to how we should come about our magazines.

Magazine Research: Mast Head / Color Combinations

Magazine Research: Mast Head / Color combinations 

By looking at these magazine logos, you can see a lot of similarities and features that are consistent through all of them. For example, by looking at them, the producers make sure to get to colors that much contradict each other so that the title can pop. From what I see, the most popular colors are the red and white combination and the black and white combination. This could have been because of one magazine blowing up with that color on the logo or simply because of how well the colors pop on each other when it comes to font though all that the producers of the magazine make sure to get a font that sticks out and pops out to a buyer.

Market Research: Sellers

For today's research, I took a closer look at three of the most popular rap magazines being "XXL," "Complex," and "Vibe." I looked at these three magazines and compared their overall appearance and context to see some of their similarities. I did this to get an idea of what makes them so appealing to their audience and what grabs the reader's attention.

Market Research: Tactical Research

      In this post, I researched the top audiences that our audience, teenagers, would appeal to. I went ahead and studied multiple genres that are "top ten topics to pitch to teenagers." 

According to this website, our magazine should be one of the genres that appeal to teenagers since it falls under the "music" category.

Market Research: Chosen Genre

Market Process: Chosen Genre

For my project, my teammate and I have decided to do a rap magazine. We have chosen this genre because it appeals to a lot of the people that attend our school, making the research more natural to maintain. Also, because we as a team are more familiar with hip/hop & rap as a genre rather than other genres like fashion and health. Being able to create a rap magazine would be a good genre for us because it is a topic that would keep us interested and is a genre that has a lot of different conventions when it comes to the cover page and the story going on behind the images. Research wise asking students at our school about a rap magazine rather than a dull genre would allow them to give more accurate responses rather than them clicking anything.
