    I asked 16-18 year olds the above questions. From this questionnaire, from my research I found out that they generally like to listen to RnB, Indie, Rap and Rock music. I also found out that my audience would prefer to see more images over text as a high percentage of the results went to 60:40 just over 50% of the audience picked this, so when making my magazine I would have to take this into account. When I questioned my audience weather they wanted to receive news from mainstream or underground artists around 60% wanted to hear new fresh music front he underground scene. They suggesting from a few of the comments back that mainstream new is everywhere were underground is more difficult to get a hold of and this gives them the advantage to receive and support budding artists and bands... 
    My audience also want bright colours, professional images and an eye catching magazine overall. So when choosing the housetyle for my mag I will have to pick apporate colours that fit with both genders as my magazine will not be gender bias. The most read magazine within my audience are heat and NME now this is a mix of both music and a gossip magazine suggesting I could mix these subjects together help engage my readership some more. When asking about price the limit my audience would pay for a magazine is around £3 and considering the average income was parents and EMA I feel its best to pric my magazine at about £2.00 as the students wouldn't have money to be wasting so often...
