Final photos after editing

This is the image I started with before I edited it...

This is what the image looked like after editing.

Images for front cover - before editing

I like this image because by her blowing a kiss and looking into the camera, makes it look quite welcoming and friendly. The only thing i dislike about this photo is that some of her face is lighter than the rest of her face. Also it might not be very suitable for the front cover image of a pop music magazine.


















I really like this image because if it was on the front cover it would make the magazine look extremely welcoming and friendly. It might be hard to cut her out of the background because the sun is shining on her hair and it is contrasting in with the sky.

I like this image but i think that it would be quite hard to be able to put it onto a front cover without it looking quite strange. Also i do not think that it would be suitable for a pop magazine.






These are a few images out of many that i took for my front cover. However these ones are my favourite and i will choose one of them for my main image, i will edit them so that the lighting is better and that they are on a better background.

Questionnaire results

I posted a questionnaire on my blog to find out what my target audience liked and wanted out of a music magazine. People visited my blog to answer my questionnaire and with the results i am going to give an overall analysis of them. This will then help to come up with the final ideas for my music magazine.

Are you male or female?

The majority of the people that answered this question were female therefore this helps me to see that i will aim my magazine mostly at females.

What age category do you fit into?

83% of the people that answered my questionnaire were between the ages of 15- 18. And then there was 16% of 14 and younger, this has helped me to decide that i will design a music magazine for 14 years and younger as maybe if there was more of a range of music magazine for that age range to read then the might buy one more often.

How often do you buy a magazine?

66% of the people that answered my questionnaire said that they bought a magazine one every so often, 16% said once a month and another 16% said once every 2 weeks.

How much do you pay for a music magazine?

60% of people pay £2-£3 for a music magazine, 20% pay £1-£2 and 20% pay £3-£4. Therefore I will be aiming to sell my music magazine for between £2-£3.

What do you look for in a magzine?

40% of the people that answered this question said that they look for true stories whereas the other 60% said thay look for interviews, therefore i will include some sort of interview in my music magazine.

How do you listen to music?

20% of people answered the internet whilst another 20% said they used their phone to listen to music. 60% said that they used an ipod to listen to their music. Therefore i could think about adding in maybe a competition within my magazine to win an ipod or along those lines.

Different Fonts For My Title

I have chosen 6 different styles and fonts for the title of my front cover. I cut down to two of the styles and I am going to use them both and see which one suits best for my target audience. I am going to do this by making a questionnaire and see my results and see which one turns out more popular.
