During the half term I am going to upload some post including updated and more improved images of my music magazine. As I have gotten feed back from my audience I will be using that to improve my magazine.Also changing the colours and font etc to suit what my target audience have said.

Research and planning equipment list

These are the equipment's that I will be using to make up my music magazine.

Research and Planning Prop List

These are the props that I am going to be using

- clothing for the models

front cover- Dress colour which best suits the model, but also is appropriate to the magazine and goes with my three colour rule.

contents page- girly clothing, eg dress tights hats headbands.

double page spread- clothing best to suit model but is appropriate with the model and meet my standards of the magazine.

 I would want a dress like this for my model, but im not sure on the colour but I would like this style.

 I  like the style of this hat.

Research and Planning audience video response

Here are my audience feed back from my magazine drafts and questions.

Research and planning audience questions and videos

 These are the questions which I am going to ask my audience:


1: what draws attention to you from the cover?

2: Do you think the masthead is appropriate? why?

3: what do you think about the colours that I've used? who do they relate to?

4: If you had to change something what would it be and why?

5: what do you think about the double page spread and contents page?

6: Do you think the contents page is interesting enough for you to read?

This is my music magazine- double page spread.

Research and Planning Double Page Analysis

This is a double page spread which I can tell is from a pop magazine. The reason I can tell is because the models which are from a boy band ,they are well dressed and they are being portrayed in a way which makes them look really laid back, and they have a serious face on which also implies that this article that is written on them is something serious, rather than something that would make the teenage girls scream about.The layout of this double page spread, is very simple and effective, the way in which it is effective is through the colours that have been used to make this page up, the editor has used light and dark colours which imply that this is something serious.Also this double page has the three colour rule, which is white, 2 shades of blue and grey for the background, these colours also imply masculinity, they have also used the clothes on the models at a similar colour to contrast with the page, which is really clever because it makes the double page spread more interesting and complete. The text is also placed next to each of the artists that they are talking about which makes it clear to understand who they are talking to and also the images are next to the person who they are interviewing, normally on a double page spread, they would interview one person but they have fitted onto this one the interview of 2 artist and put them together.
