Female                        Male

I asked for peoples gender to see an overall demographic on which gender would buy this magazine.This will help me to alter my articles to suit both gender preferences as it would be unappealing if I geared it towards one gender rather than both. This will also boost the profit I would make as both genders would identify with the magazines.

15-20

20+

I asked my target audience for their ages to see what age is most likely to be interested in an indie magazine, also this would help me allocate which bands/artist to put in; as if there are more mature views I would include classical indie bands. 

4.)  What colours would you associate an indie magazine with?

Black, white and red                              Purple, pink and green
