The respondent surveyed 15 people about their music magazine preferences. Most read music and gossip magazines, and are influenced by friends on social media for music choices. The favorite genre was chart music. Respondents were willing to spend £1-£3 on a magazine, and most were female aged 16-20. This informed the creation of a new magazine focused on chart music for younger women audiences.

2. My Questionnaire
• I asked 15 people to fill in my questionnaire. 14 people were from
my target audience while one was from a higher age bracket. This is
so I can see what my target audience would like and also see what I
can include to appeal to a slightly older audience to encapsulate a
wider audience.
