Rock Music Research

These were the questions that I asked 50 people, I carried out this research so I knew what people liked and what i should include in my magazine, and what I should avoid including. I found that females were the most popular gender to include on the front page. 

This is the results from the colour scheme question. I found out that the most popular colours to use were of a range from black, white, grey and red, this is something I will use in my magazine. 

Overall, from the people that I asked I found that rock was the most popular music style to read, this suited me because I wanted to create a magazine for the rock industry and obviously it is very popular. 

I wanted to get an idea of how much people were willing to pay for this magazine and overall I found out that pricing the rock magazine at £2.01-2.50 was the most popular price, therefore this is what the magazine will be priced at, within this pricing range. 

House Music Magazine Analysis

From this I have learnt that different music genres use specific fonts to target their audience. This music magazine had a free CD with it with would appeal to house music fans, the front cover also had Tiga on, he is a house music icon therefore people would be more influenced to buy this magazine over any others. The colours used are bright and fit in with the house music theme. 

Music Genre Research

From this research i  have choosen to do rock music as i think it will be the most interesting and i can be really creative.

Music Magazine Research: Pop Group

I researched a famous Pop Group called Girls Aloud, and i looked at thier career, i also looked at how them as a band changed over time to make sure they appealled to various audiences. I looked at their various album covers, the text and font used, and the way the girls in the band are positioned in every album cover, to get an idea of what i want to do in my Music Magazine.

Completed Preliminary Task

This is the completed Front Page. I cropped the image and then added a black box over the bottom of the picture. I then filled it in black and used the blending tool to make it blend with the top half of the image. I also added a small box at the bottom to make it look more detailed and less boring. From this process i have learnt that I need to make sure I follow instructions carefully, but if I do the wrong shot I can always use Photoshop to crop it, or zoom in or out.

This is the final contents page, I had to change some of the images that were on the contents page because they consisted of year 11 students, therefore as I was advertising a sixth form it was unlikely that the whole prospectus would be about the lower years of the school. 

First Draft Contents Page

Although this was a good attempt I ahve used irrelevant images, which i wont use in my final page. I have used images of Year 11's and my task was to advertise the Sixth form not the rest of the school. Therefore i need to take more images that only consist of sixth formers.
