Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
I choose the black background from
the Kerrang! magazine as I thought it
would give my magazine a rock edge.
Also the black goes well with the
pinks and purples in my magazine and
makes the writing and images stand
out well.
I decided to add a skyline (at the top) and a banner (at the
bottom) like this Kerrang! Magazine front cover because, it
makes the writing stand out more and it brings more colour into
my magazine. Also I think it makes my front cover look more
professional.
I liked the idea of the main image being in front of the
masthead as it makes the main image stand out well
and gives a little bit of a 3D effect.
I chose to do the colour scheme of pinks
and purples like this Bliss magazine as
they contrast beautifully with the black
and seem to stand out well. In addition to
that the pink adds the pop genre to my
magazine.

I decided to put a little
introduction into my
contents page like the
one in the sugar
magazine's contents
page. I decided to do
this because it gives
my magazine a more
intimate and more
personal feel.
I choose to do my images
and page numbers like this
because, I liked the layout
and it makes the page
numbers stand out.
I did my contents columns similar to NME magazine
because, the layout is quite clear to read. And the
backgrounds for the sub titles make the them stand
out well.
I added a skyline like this NME one because it adds colour and
makes the title stronger than it would on its own.
I included this in my contents page because, it allows you to add more
pictures to the page which means less writing which could get
confusing. Also I think it makes the page look more attractive and fun.
Originally I wanted to put a V
in the background of my
contents page for ‘Volume’
as it would carry on the
house style. However, it
didn’t look right so instead I
coloured the skyline behind
the title purple as well as the
introduction and the banner
at the bottom behind the
subscription box. I decided to
this because it added colour
and also as it is purple added
a house style to my contents
page. Moreover, the purple
makes a C shape for contents
so adds a bit of quirkiness.

I decided to highlight the interviewers
questions like on this Kerrang! magazine
because, then all the writing doesn't all flow
into one and also this way you can make the
double page spread a lot more colourful and
consequently a lot more eye catching.
I done my drop cap quite similar to the Kerrang!
magazine one as I didn’t want mine to be too big so
that it would take up too much space and distract the
reader from looking at the writing.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
I think it represents teenage girls as being individual and complex
as this music magazine includes artists from both pop and rock
backgrounds. Moreover, ‘Volume’ also shows that teenage girls are
not straightforward pop or rock lovers and do not belong to a
stereotype.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
After doing some research I have decided that the media
institution that might sell my magazine would be the publishes
Bauer. I think this because, they publish Kerrang! magazine
which is one of the magazines that mine is based on. Bauer also
publish magazines such as heat as well as publishing 4music.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
The audience or readership of my magazine would be Teenage Girls
who are interested in buying monthly magazines who would
perhaps have a part time job are in voluntary jobs or who are
unemployed/ students as my music magazine doesn’t cost much as
it is only £2. My audience would also be interested in both POP and
Rock and indie music genres. And see music as very important to
them. They would also be people who enjoy going to Gigs and
festivals. In addition to that they would also be people who are
maybe fashion conscious or enjoy clothe shopping. They may also
be facing common teenage problems and may not feel very
confident in themselves. In addition to that my audience would be
people who enjoy finding out new and young up and coming artists.

From this question result I decided that my target gender for my
magazine would be Females. Due to this I decided my colour
scheme as well as articles.
Most people who done my survey were in their teens with the
highest percentage being in the 16-20 category. Due to this I
decided that my target audience’s age would be middle teens
and up.
From looking at this survey respondents answers I decided that my
target audience would be interested in a range of music genres and
styles. Which is what I originally wanted my magazine to include
anyhow but these answers showed that my target audience would be
manly interested in POP Rock and Indie music.
Although most people said that they never read music magazines
the second highest answer was monthly .
When I asked people to comment how much they would expect
to pay for a music magazine most people commented around
the £2 bracket. And when I quizzed people about whether the
price was right most said it was just right.
When I asked this question I was hoping that the majority of
responses that I would receive would say yes. But these results
confirmed that you can have a magazine which is not clean cut pop
or rock etc. Also due to this question I decided that the magazines I
would look at would be ‘Top Of The Pops’ ‘Kerrang!’ And ‘NME’.
Due to this I put the an article about top 10 festivals you do not want
to miss as well as gig reviews.
From these responses I decided that my music magazine
would manly be about music and would contain not
much, but still some usually magazine articles such as
astronomy . And Trend or Tragic.

I have learnt how to use Photoshop correctly and efficiently . As
well as, the fact that when taking photos you need to have a
professional camera and usually proper lighting as well otherwise
the photos may come out blurry or dark.

I used dafont to create my masthead for my
 magazine as well as the titles on my contents
 page and double page spread.




I used survey monkey to create my surveys for
people to fill in about my magazine pages.
I used both of these network sites to
distribute my surveys for my magazine.
I used photo shop to do all the construction work for
my magazine pages.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
Looking back at my college magazine and my first try at my music
magazine I think I have learnt a lot about the importance of the layout
in the magazine. As well as, the colour scheme used.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
1st try. I changed this idea because
there was too much blue, and the
articles didn’t stand out enough.
There seemed
to be a bit of
confusion as to
what genre of
music my
magazine was.
Even though most said they did notice a particular style it was
almost 50 50. So I decided that I would have to change the colour
scheme because of this.
I then decided from this question that the masthead
needed to change as it is supposed to be one of the most
important if not the most important parts to the magazine
front cover as it is the part that when people are flicking
through the magazines they can identify and find the
one/ones they are looking for.
2nd I changed the image
completely as before the
image was blurred and I now
decided to not do a Christmas
edition of my magazine. I have
also changed my masthead as
the other one didn’t stand out
very well, and my cover lines
slightly. Moreover I have now
added a banner at the bottom
of the page. And have changed
the colour scheme so that
there is a better house style
running through this page.
Most of the
responses I got here
was about the articles
and the lack of colour.
3rd try I then decided that I
needed to add some more colour
to my magazine to make it stand
out better. I also added a few
more cover lines. And moved the
text of ‘With our step by step
guide!’ Down and to the right a
little as well as increasing the
font size.
4th and final version of my music
magazine. I have coloured my
masthead and lead line in to
make the front cover more
colourful and eye catching to the
readership of my magazine. I
have also added a flash box also
to bring more colour into my
magazine.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
1st try I ended up changing this
page as the title needed to
stand out more as it blended in
with the skyline. Also the fonts
were not all the same colour
and need to stand out more so I
made them more bolder. I also
ended up changing one of the
photos as it was too dark.

Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
2nd and Final version of my
music magazine contents
page. Here I had to change
the front cover picture as I
had changed my front cover. I
also changed the bottom
right picture to a different
one as the last one was too
dark. I have also darkened
the edges of the title slightly
as before it was hard to read.
Another thing I have done is
that I duplicated the text
layers so that the text would
be bolder. Moreover, I
darkened the background
slightly as it was too bright.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
1st try. Due to the responses on
survey monkey I added a few
things to my double page spread.
Evaluation of my music magazine ‘volume’
2nd edition of my double page
spread. Here I have gave my
flash box a outer lining to make
it look more creative and stand
out more. I also change the
introduction colour to pink and
wrote less. In addition to that, I
added another photo in the
bottom left corner as this was
suggested. Moreover, In the
banner at the bottom of the
page I added a where you can
follow Taylor Ann on. I added
this in because, when I did my
reader profile I found out that
all the people who did my
survey said they listened to
music on YouTube.
3rd and final edition of my
double page spread. I have
now got rid of the pull
quote at the bottom of the
page because, it didn’t fit
or look right.
