Editor's Notes

  • #3 Think about layout, colours, the main image and where the sell-lines are placed Do you like the use of a question(directed at audience)
  • #5 3 band members. What about the genders? Should it be one gender or mixed?
  • #6 What the easiest to read? What one gives you the clear understanding of what is within the magazine? Do you like the use of the arrow shape? Interesting, eye-catching? Number 1 has just the right balance of images and text compared to 2 with lots of info and 3 with lots of images
  • #7 Do you like the contents pages to be in an interview format or a story about the band? Do you like the shapes used? Colours? Do you like the layout? (main image using one page) Look at the amount of text
  • #8 The highlighted sell-lines are neater and clearer to read. They are more eye-catching which is important
  • #9 Talk about adding white to the first colour scheme to make it more like the British flag and indie
  • #10 A band index is a column found on the contents page that lists all the bands in the magazine along with the page number they can be found on. Yes because it’s practical, easy to find the bands that you want to read about. Is more professional
