- 6. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS SimranKaur I included this question to see what content on a double page spread is most liked by the audience. Results show that the two most common answers are interviews and recommendations. Therefore, these will be the two key elements of my double page spread article. interview 40% album info 10% artist behind the scenes 10% recommendations 40% WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON A DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD? I found most of this task simple although I had some issues with the questions regarding the artists preferred to be seen on the cover and the artists seen live/hoped to see live. I found I gathered too much data for these questions making it difficult for me to them tally the results and input them into pie charts – I think I should have kept these questions closed to gather a more concise set of results to evaluate.
