My final decisions!


Psychographics.

psychographics is the study of personality, values, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles, Some categories of psychographic factors used in market segmentation include:
  • activity, interest, opinion (AIOs)
  • attitudes
  • values
  • behavior 
My magazine is aimed at people with similar interests and opinions who generally live a similar lifestyle therefore having similar psychographics factors such as activities like playing the guitar. 


Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs
In his modal Marlow requires that we fulfill one stage before moving on to the next. 


The love/belonging box is also the social box. 
My target audience would fit in to the safety stage more than the belonging stage as they go against social norms of listening to "pop" music and wearing the "fashionable" clothes. My target audience find safety in their music as most of them feel like they do not belong in this society as they are ridiculed and called socially deviant for not fitting with the social norms and values of society.

Q magazine questionnaire


Q magazine questionnaire, this was designed to find out what their readers like and want in a magazine.This is a form of market research giving the editor of the magazine a wider knowledge of the target audience and readership. I have studied this questionnaire to gain an idea of what questions i can ask in my own or questions i can ask in a focus group. 

Colours I will be using


Metal music is usually associated with the colour red because it can be see as passionate but dangerous as love is seen with red hearts but blood is also red and  a red cross represents no or danger.
Metal music usually has 1 bright colour  with black and white
The colours I will be using in my music magazine are red, black and white.

My final decision

Metal music mood board

A general mood board of metal music including the general costume, bands, fonts, existing magazines, festivals and things that are associated with metal such as skulls, fire, guitars and motorbikes. These are things that will feature in my music magazine as i will be making a metal music magazine. The things on my mood board appeal to my target audience therefore incorporating them in to my magazine with things such as latest releases by bands, fashion and any concerts/festivals that are to do with metal music that the reader may be able to win tickets to. This will hopefully make my target audience want to buy my magazine as it appeals to their liking.
