First Attempt

This was the practise front cover and contents page that i did in my first media lession at the start of year 12. This was the first time i had ever used photoshop aswell as having no knowledge of the subject. I picked a bad photo and bad colours. I didnt put a title, price or many sub headings on which wouldn't attract many people walking past. It's very simple and you can tell not much time has been put into it. On my actual cover i want too crowd the page much more than on this one.

QUESTIONNAIRE

I have decided that I am going to carry out a questionnare based towards my target auidence, because it will help me gain some ideas into what I should include within my magazine. This will increase the chances of people buying my magazine, because I will have done primary research, to find out what features my target audience would like to see included in a music magazine.
