How old are you?

which is shown in red I mainly ask 11-12 years old as the pop magazines I have researched
are mainly targeted at younger people. The second most age group I asked where 15-16 year
olds as I would also like to include information that will suit a teenage based group as well
making my target audience as big as I can. The least amount of people I asked where aged
between 13-14. Overall I asked people age ranged between 11 and 16+ so that I could get a

What is your gender?
-According to this bar chart the question I asked was what is your gender. 19 females and
only 1 male filled out my questionnaire, I only asked 1 male as my genre pop is a female
audience based from my research so I decided to asked 1 male to get their opinion on pop
even though pop isn't usually meant to be targeted forwards males. So I asked 19 females
which is good as my music magazine target audience is females so this gives a vary of all
their opinions giving myself ideas to when I start to create my own pop music magazine.

-From asking this question asking ‘what is your favourite colour’ the most popular answer I got
was pink and the second most popular answer was purple these results are what I expected to
get as from my research most pop music magazine are either pink or purple. These results are
