Age: From this graph above it is clear that I have mainly targeted the age group of 11 to 20 because I believe they will have more opinions to contribute to as opposite to the over 50’s plus, it will give me more results which will strengthen my research and help me develop a magazine that will appeal to them. However, I did target older people which I done because I wanted to find out their opinions on music magazines and by doing so I would have a wider range of thoughts which would aid my research and would also benefit me would begin to construct me own magazine.

3. Do You Regularly Buy Music Magazines: This was a question which was crucial to be in my questionnaire as it would give me an understanding as to whether people did actually buy music magazines, plus from the following to questions on age and gender it would show what gender or age did or did not buy magazines which would help me to understand and identify my target audience and would contribute towards my research. From the graph above it clearly shows that half of males and females do not buy magazines but it also shows that more females but more music magazines than males, however it also shows that males occasionally buy music magazines more than females so from this I have a clear idea of who my target audience is and I now have a better understanding into what gender tends to buy greater and few amount of music magazines.

Another thing that prevents them from buying music magazine is the colour scheme, this is useful to me as I now know that I should use inviting and welcoming colours to lure the audience towards my music magazine.
