The student has taken several steps to help create their own music magazine, including examining existing magazines like Q, Kerrang, and NME to understand different genres. They also distributed a questionnaire to understand what readers want from a music magazine. Analyzing the front covers, contents pages, and spreads of various magazines has helped the student understand design ideas and how to create a unique magazine that will appeal to their target audience. However, the results of the questionnaire may change what the student feels is appealing and require alterations to better match what readers find engaging.
