1. How old are you?
___
For this question I got back ages from 15 to 25 , the only 2 numbers which was pretty high was 16 and 17 and this will allow me to focus my magazine more on the younger generation but still allowing the slightly more older people to want to read it as well.
2. What is your favourite Band
_____________________________________________
This pie chart has helped me with my music magazine as it has allowed me to get an idea on what bands to include in the magazine(providing they fit the genre which some do) It will also help me know who to include in my magazine. For example 4 people said their favourite band was The Killers and another 4 people said their favourite band was Coldplay. By knowing this I will include them on the front cover of my magazine as they have the most people say them.
3. Who is your favourite Artist

______________________________________________________________
The colours listed were mainly subtle colours such as white,black,red and the main one being blue.This will help with the colour scheme as I will be using those colours in my magazine because if people had written them down they are more likely to pick up my magazine with those colours.
7. What would you like to see more of in a magazine e.g. more interviews
