What sort of music do you enjoy?

this chart shows the results for the question asking what peoples preferred music is, as you can see the results are primarily pop and rock therefore I will be concentrating my magazine mainly around these 2 genres.

these are the results that i have gathered from my questionnaire that i designed, it was handed out to 16 students in the school it contains important information on how to make my magazine as appealing as possible

for my perliminary magazine cover i have chosen a basic colour scheme consisting mainly of black and white this is to show the reader that its a clean and simple magazine thast doesnt try to glamourise things and tells it how it is. i have designed it so that the computer does not cover the title this is because my magazine isnt very well known and so the title needs to be on display to grab the readers attention. i also decided you use short titles and short catch lines for my other main articles so not to crowd my cover.









for the contents i decided to stick the the original colour scheme to keep the image of a clean simple magazine i also decided to keep it simple aswel by just showing a picture of the main articles and explain in further detail what the articles contain, it also has page numberings for other smaller articles that i have labelled clearly allowing the reader to navigate easily through the magazine and quickly find the articles that interest them the most.
