Research and Analysis: Music magazine questionnaire analysis

I sent out my questionnaire to 10 people via email who haven't done media studies before so I wouldn't get a biased opinion. I also explained shot types to the various recipients before they replied.

This is one example of a completed questionnaire:

After analysing all my questionnaire results I noticed that everyone liked the name Reckless for my magazine. 7 out of 10 people said they would buy magazines weekly.
The third question was open to opinion and the three reoccuring colours were Black, White and Red.
After explaining shot types the two main shot types that showed up were Mid shot and Medium Closer up but more people decided a mid shot would be better suited to my magazine.
Question 5 again was open up to opinion but after collecting my results 5 people said they would be willing to pay £3.00 for a magazine and 3 people said they would be willing to pay £3.50 so my magazine price should lie between these two amounts. My front cover should contain just one model since 7 out of 10 people said that only 1 person should appear on the cover. 
For question 7 i got mixed opinions: 
2 people said 4 cover lines
2 people said 5
4 peoplesaid 6
2 people said 7....so for my magazine I am going to include 6 cover lines and a main story.

For the final question again it was open to opinion and 5 ideas popped up.
8 people thought including the latest music would be a good idea. 3 people responded saying that interviews with artists would be interesting. 4 people thought that articles on new artists would be a good feature. and the two other ideas were gossip sections and an advice column. I am going to consider all these ideas and definitley include the first three ideas since they are the most popular and will intrigue readers more.

Here are my results collected into pie charts
