Response Questions -

These filled in questionnaires show the results of three questions that I asked about my Cover, Contents and Double Page Spread:

This is my initial idea for my magazine cover.

I chose the name 'Chant' as it means for 'Singing in unison' and so is relateable to my music magazine. By following the typical conventions, i have decided on having a medium close-up image for the cover star.

Ideas for the main cover star name:

• Elisabeth Bowen
• Saskia T
• Tom Verde
• The Johns

Ideas for main cover line:

• 'New album, new voice'
• 'Inside the new album'
• "Time to move on"
• "we're a band now, before we were just lost"

This is my initial idea for my contents page.

Content ideas are:

•  'Tom Verde - new album, new perspective'
• 'Jenny Grant - "Times be changin'"
•  'Loudres - A Tribute'

Main feature article idea:

• 'Saskia - "Singing wasn't my first choice"
•  'she talks about love, life and turning eighteen. Meanwhile LANRA return with an album sure to cause a stir.'

Screenshots for Magazine Contents Page -

Firstly, I planned to have a page which consisted of a white background with a black title with a drop shadow. A medium close – up image either would be centred or to the right of the page. There would then be two rectangular boxes which will contain the contents information and some little information on the inside content of the magazine. As my contents progressed it resuted in some changes of the original design idea.

The ABC1 for NME is 73% and Kerrang!'s is 52%. This shows how NME is read by the larger percent of people form the upper profile compared to Kerrang! Which is just over 50%. This could lead to why the mean age being 25 in NME and just 22 in Kerrang!

Article Research

This is an article with the band 'The Teenagers' in NME magazine. As NME is a music magazine, this gives me an idea of how a double page spread could be layed out and what type of article I could write for my music magazine.

Possible Front Cover Images -

I chose these three images as possible main cover star images because the top two have the star looking directly at the camera which is good as this is typically seen in competing magazines. The bottom image therefore challenges that convention however the image is still usable. All three would need to be cropped and made larger to become medium close- ups. 

Possible Contents page images -

The first image would be zoomed in due to the original medium long shot image. The second would be fine as it is already a medium close up image. I chose these two images as in both the artist is looking at the camera which is

Possible Images for Double Page Spread -

I chose these images as they all show the star in a different way. The first shows the funny side to her, she's joking around and posing. The second shows her just generally being happy and smiling, the third is an extreme close up which shows her looking more serious. All images would be suitable as they each represent her in a different way.
