Today we made questionnaires to give out to see what type of music people like. we included several questions from do you even buy music magazines? to their age and occupation and how they ind out about new music. We made these questionnaires so we could find out what sort of target audience we were reaching out for and what type of music magazine we wanted to create. We got the feedback from our questionnaire and made them into various different graphs and tables comparing our informstion that we recieved. This helped us plan out what music magazine we were going to create and what it needed to include.

Today we researched double paged spreads and interviews with different artists. We looked at both types of double paged spreads, editorials and interviews. I decided i was going to do an editorial as it best suited my target audience and the sort of magazine i wanted to create. i want an open free flowing and natural editorial with quotes from my artist relating to the topic i will include. we created drafts of our editorial using guidelines of other magazines online that we found to help us structure our article. from researching other article it made us aware of the questions we needed to include and the different types of questions we would ask whether they'd be open or closed.

From the photos we took we edited them changed the lighting and played around on photoshop adding in different effects and seeing if they looked good. We arranged the cover and presented it in the layout we wanted we included our sell lines and the school logo and a barcode. We layered our images on top of our background and created our title for the magazine and the style and font we wanted

Today we went out and took the images for our magazine. We took over 10 images but had to decide on no more than 5 to include in our magazine. We went around the school taking images os specific aspects that we wanted to feature in our magazine. We used students in our images so they could represent the school and help us create an image we wanted to perceive through our magazine. We also took images at the local sports centre and the local area surrounding our school.
