We caught up with WATSKY at his recording studio in London and we got some exciting news for this years upcoming events!

'When will your next album be out? We are all anticipating what it will be like!'
My newest album 'GOLDIE' will be coming out this July. It will be my most beautiful album yet! I have been working on this for the majority of the year, and it is so different to my other albums, it is fresh!

'Will you be touring the UK any time soon?'
Yes! I will be touring hopefully this summer in the UK. I haven't made any arrangements yet but I will be arranging to tour the UK this summer.

'What was your favourite song from the last album?'
It will have to be 'energy' it was much different from the rest of the songs and really fun creating it.

'What theme were you trying to create in you new album 'GOLDIE'? 
I've had a rough year so I wanted this album to mean something not only to be to my fans. It's a mixture of how I coped and how I got over and made myself better. Hopefully my fans will be able to hear that in my new album [laughs].

'How did you feel when you were nominated for MTV Music Awards?'
I almost died of shock! I couldn't be more grateful to all my fans for nominating me and sticking by me through this tough year.

'Are the rumours true about you and Lana Del Rey working to produce a single together?'
[laughs] well we have discussed a few things, but nothing is set in stone just yet, it would be amazing to work with such a talented artist to produce a single, but we will have to see how it goes, watch this space!

Update Diary

Today I have begun touching up my images for my main image for my front cover and images that I will feature on my contents page. I have used Photoshop to edit these images into black and white, and used patch up tools to fade any blemishes and spots. I have been able to adjust the contrast and brightness in these images using Photoshop. 

Audience Research

I have designed a survey using the website 'Survey Monkey' in order to carry out research for my target market suitable for my genre of magazine. During this, I have provided certain questions such as, 'How often do you read magazines? to identify how popular magazines are amongst my target market. I also asked basic questions such as 'what is your                                                                                           age?' and 'what is your gender?'' to simply begin to                                                                                       identify my target market and which groups prefer                                                                                         certain things  'What is your favourite part of a chart                                                                                     music magazine?' to help me understand what                                                                                               specific age group and gender prefer certain genres                                                                                       of music and

their favourite part of a music magazine to help me create a magazine that would interest my target market. This magazine is aimed at young adults and both sexes. My magazine will feature popular R&B artists with exclusive interviews, photographs and eye catching stories.

I have handed out my survey to a small sample of both sexes and a variety of ages in order to help me determine what age groups prefer different items in a music magazine, enabling me to custom my magazine to the age group that my magazine is aimed to. After handing out my surveys to a small but varied sample of individuals, I was then able to calculate the

results of my survey, overall helping me to determine what I must do in order for my magazine to attract the attention of my target market, for example I have identified that many of my target market would appreciate free gifts to be featured in my magazine

and that exclusive interviews of popular music artists would also be a popular hit. I asked questions 'What other music magazines do you read?' in order to get a insight of what my target market like to read and what is featured in those magazines, to help give me a template of what my magazine should look like and include. I also asked what there preferred genre of music is, therefore I can help identify my target market, as I will be able to discover their age, gender and favourite genre music to know exactly who I am aiming my magazine at. I also asked how much my target market would be willing to pay for a magazine, therefore I can have a greater                                                                                                       understanding about how to produce my magazine                                                                                       and which media platforms I will use to sell my                                                                                             magazine, therefore this question is a basic question                                                                                       to broaden my knowledge of producing my                                                                                                   magazine.  
                                                                                Other questions such as 'what do you most like to see in a magazine?' and do you like receiving free gifts?' both help me understand what to include in my                                                                                     magazine and what is most popular in a magazine.                                                                                         Overall creating this survey has helped with my                                                                                             market  research of what to include in my magazine                                                                                       and how to produce it, aiming it at my target                                                                                                 audience which is young adult.
                 




                                             

                                                                             

Update Diary

 Today I began to create my survey on a website called 'Survey Monkey'. I was able to use this tool to set up questions that would help me to figure out what features in a magazine are best suited to my target market. I asked questions such as 'what is your favourite part of a chart music magazine?' I am hoping to hand this survey out to a small sample of both sexes and a range of ages to help determine what would be best to include in my magazine.
