1. Music Magazine Audience feedback and Evaluation.

3. It focuses on the Dance music genre

4. It is aimed at 16-30 year olds-mostly male

5. I have used a contrast of black and white, as well as a few other bright colours to make it eye catching.

6. My target audience would be interested in dance music, I have tried to represent this genre mostly through my masthead, with it being a reference to strobe lighting-often used in dance clubs, and through the outer glow I've created around the masthead to amplify this effect. Also items in the photo such as the needle represent the genre.

7. The genre is also shown by the cover lines.

8. I have chosen to use a musician a similar age to my target audience on my front cover- This will appeal more to my target audience than a musician who isn’t part of my magazine target audience. It also strongly represents the social group of my target audience.

10. The photos again include members of my target audience.

11. I have not included an editors note on the contents page as I have noticed it’s a convention of some major magazines to have this on a separate page with other staff information.

13. By cutting it out it draws more emphasis on his figure, not boxing it off, this also makes it obvious the article is about him, not just the genre or the artists he has collaborated with.

14. I used the Photoshop brush techniques I have learnt to recreate the smoke from his cigarette, I could not copy this over from the original picture effectively due to its transparency.

15. Aside from the stand first I used only interview text in my article to adhere to my magazines ideology of focusing on just the music.

17. I based them around a DJ Vocoda cover story, an artist I had arranged to meet, however he cancelled with short notice.

20. This was mostly positive people were able to tell the target audience and genre of my magazine although pointed out my front cover could have been more dynamic had I not used such a simple background

21. My survey results also showed that a high majority (93%) found it eye catching

22. Throughout the project I have learnt quite a lot of Photoshop techniques most noticeable using filters, opacity and various brushes

23. Overall I am quite pleased with my finished music magazine I think I've kept to a strong and simple house style, whilst adhering to many conventions by including pull quotes, keeping my front cover text to the left third and showing links to websites etc.

24. I think I have kept to my USP with my design elements being quite simple and my address to my audience within the text is seriously although informal.
