Conclusion........
After researching, I found that many of the people I asked preferred
interviews rather than articles and reviews, I will use this to my advantage by
making my main feature an interview. I also found that people preferred
main images rather than montages, which is good as my inspiration for my
magazine only uses one image, for my magazine I will only use one main
image. To make my magazine more appealing I would advertise freebies, to
get more people to buy my magazine. The price would be a bit of an issue as
most people preferred the cheap version but, many magazine especially film
magazines are not cheap and range from £2.00 to £3.50.
