1. So far, I have completed tasks which are going to help me to create my
own music magazine. I have looked at magazines such as Q, Kerrang, NME
and more to get an idea of the kind of genre that I will eventually want to
base my magazine on. Also, I have completed a questionnaire to help me
to get a clearer understanding of what people are going to want to look
for in a music magazine. On different music magazines, I have analysed the
front cover, Contents page and the double page spread on 2-3
magazines. This has definitely helped me understand the range of ideas
that I can use to create a unique, music magazine of my choice. By doing
this will help my learning and expand my knowledge of music magazines in
order to create my own, later on in the task. It will allow me to know what is
going to make a good magazine and will appeal to my target audience.
However, by getting answers to my questionnaire may also change my
view of what I want my magazine to look like. It may not be appealing to
my audience as it is for me, and will mean that I will have to change the
appearance in order to get a good grade. But, this will be a good thing as I
will eventually be able to analyse what people of my age bracket find
appealing in a modern music magazine today..
