Focus Group for Sixth Form Magazine

I asked four different people aged between 16-18 years old various questions about themselves and what types of magazines they enjoy reading. These are the people that I am going to use for my focus group and they will give their thoughts and opinions on my flat plan design for the Sixth Form magazine.
