Tom McCrae created a music magazine for the rock genre as part of a media studies evaluation. He researched existing rock magazines to inform his magazine's color scheme and layout. His magazine includes a front cover, contents page, and double page spread. He used similar colors and layouts as other rock magazines to appeal to the target audience. McCrae also learned techniques like maintaining consistent color schemes and positioning images on covers. He created the magazine using software like Fireworks and shared it online using Blogger.
