2. The next few slides I have shown examples
of what my front cover, contents page and
double page spread look like and I have
annotated them showing different features
on the pages of why I put them there and
how they attract the audience.

6. Feedback
The following questions are questions I asked someone of a similar age to me and this is the
feedback
I got from them about what they think of my music magazine:
Q: Would you pick up this magazine If you saw it in a shop?
A: - Yes I think I would, it appeals to me very much
Q: Would you pay £2.20?
A: Yes definitely, it has a lot of pages so you get a lot for your money and most other music
magazines are a lot more expensive so yes definitely
Q: Do you think it looks professionally done?
A: Very! I don’t think I would have noticed it had been made by you if you didn’t tell me
Q: What do you think of the contents page?
A: It’s brilliantly done! There is lots going on, just as there usually would be on a contents page,
makes you feel like there is lots to read and it is a good layout and easy to read
Q: What do you think of the double page spread?
A: The interview is well written and the content of it is interesting but it looks a bit plain, you should
put more pictures on there and maybe not so much writing!
Q: What do you think of the photographs taken?
A: The photographs all look very professionally done and are all well thought out. From their actions,
to facial expressions, to clothes and the props they have.
