1. Q1. GENDER When designing and constructing my questionnaire, I decided to include this question to allow me to see what percentage of my target audience will me male or female so I can adjust and modify my magazine colours and aesthetics of my magazine to appeal to the audience. My results from my question show that 75% of my audience is Female, and 25% are male, therefore in order to make my magazine appeal to both male and female audiences I will make sure colours, vocab, images, incentives etc. appeal to both males and females as if it appeals to a more varied audience then more profit can be generated from the magazine.Gender25%Male Female75%

2. Q2. HOW OLD ARE YOU? When asking the 20 selected people from my target audience, they were ages ranging from 16-19 years of age, this therefore creates more variation on my results, and also allows me to see what age range I'm directly aiming my magazine too. However, when tallying and presenting my results within a pie chart it shows 100% of all questionnaire participants were all in the age category 16-19 years of age, this therefore leads to bias results and due to these results will make my magazine targeted more directly to late teenagers/ young people (16-19 years old), this will have a direct impact on the vocab I will use when writing my double page spread etc. and colours and iconography I will use to attract the younger audience.Age 0%Under 16 Aged 16-19Aged 20-25 Aged 26+100% 3.
