Chosen shots for my music magazine

The shots i have decided to use for my magazine

Which one?

This image shows a type of questionnaire i got my target audience to look at and tell me what image they thought would look best for my front cover. I went round, asked people and then tallied up the one with the most likes. The chosen image that people preferred was the one on the right. This was chosen over the other image because it is closer up so more interaction with the audience and it shows their characters through actions and facial expression.

Music Magazine names

When I had my questionnaire results and readership profile, I then needed to think of a name for my music magazine before I could draw a design template of the front cover. I came up with three different ones I could use:
-Anthem
-Shout
-Playlist
Anthem was already taken by someone in my class and shout didn’t appeal to my audience when I asked for their opinion. I have decided to go with ‘Playlist’ because the magazine isn’t about one type of music and just like a playlist you put together all the music you like and want, which is what my magazine aims to do, add in what my audience wants by using the music they like; RnB, Pop and Rock.

Readership Profile

My reader is a teenager who is a student but may also have a part time weekend job. They listen to music for about 3-4 hours a day and would purchase the magazine monthly. They are willing to pay around £2 for it and their favourite genres are RnB, Pop and occasionally Rock. They attend a few concerts a year and like collecting CD’s and posters of their preferred bands/artists. They tend to look for interviews, concert information, gossip and posters in a music magazine and prefer bold colours to interest them.
