16 - 20 yrs

Out of the 30 people I asked there was a reasonable balance of male and females. This would help me when I'm making my magazine because I can analyse which of the gender reads magazines more ; this would help me with the selection of artist I will feature in the magazine. It was essential for me to ask the age because I wanted to analyse who my target audience where: 16-25 females.

This was essential for me to find out because I needed to find out the things I definitely need to include to fulfil the audiences expectations of magazine. From this I have learnt that the interviews are most popular probably due to the fact that they give the audience an insight to the artist. Reviews are also important so I will also include them in the magazine.
