They may also have not been interested in the questions asked in the interview, or the girl band itself.

I am very happy with the response for this question as everyone said that my magazine looked like a music magazine. This was very important as this was one of the key elements my magazine should have. I think the audience may have agreed my magazine was a music magazine because of the musical props I used in my photographs and maybe my content as this featured music topics. Q9) What gender do you think this magazine is aimed at? Again, I am pleased with the answers for this question as everyone said they thought my magazine was aimed at females. As this was my selected target audience I am happy I have been able to produce a magazine that fits with my planning. Q10) What age do you think my magazine is aimed at? The majority of my target audience said that they thought my magazine was aimed at 15-18 year olds. When planning and researching I decided to use this age group to make a magazine for, therefore I am happy with the feedback as it fits within the age range I planned my magazine for. One person answered with ‘under 15’s’ and if I was to do this again I would ask what made them think it was for younger females as this may have helped make my magazine more suitable to my target audience.
