Conclusion

My graph shows that the answers from my questionnaire

were spread equally between the main features that would

appear within a music magazine. The pie chart showed

that the main feature was the main image that would

persuade people to buy the magazine.

Conclusion

In my graph I have shown that the most

people that I questioned had paid £0-£1.50

on a music magazine, the other results

were very similar to each other.

Conclusion

My pie chart shows that a lot of people that

answered my questionnaire wanted to see interviews

within a music magazine; this would persuade

the consumers to purchase the magazine if their

favourite artist was displayed on the main page.

Conclusion
My graph shows that I asked mainly female
to answer my questionnaire, if I had asked
more male then my result will have changed.

Conclusion
Many different topics were voted the favourite
part of a music magazine, “up coming concerts”
received the most votes from the people
that answered my questionnaire.













Conclusion
I have shown that the average age I had
questioned where aged between 12-17,
if I had asked another age group more then
my results may have changed.
















Conclusion

My pie chart results show that most of the
people I gave my questionnaire to had a
favourite colour of blue and then purple,
because of these results I decided that the
main colours of my magazine would be these
colours to follow my results.















Conclusion
My graph shows that most of the people
I asked in my questionnaire bought their
music magazine yearly, but a lot had also
never bought a music magazine













Conclusion
I had a lot of different band names in my questionnaire,
there was too many with just one vote for a pie
chart, I put all the bands that had more than one
into a pie chart, the others with just one vote
are listed below all of my pie charts.
















Conclusion
My pie chart shows that the word that comes
into people head the most when they think
about music is “Dance” this may have changed
if I and asked more and different people.

Planning

For my Preliminary task I created a school magazine, I have shown the school magazine that I created on the left.

Evaluation

My aim before the deadline was to complete my front cover and my contents page, for my magazine front cover I used the program Adobe Photoshop and then to make my contents page I used a new program to me called QuarkXpress, to make my magazine front cover I follwed the codes and conventions of a magazine, I took many pictures some of which I used on my front cover and others which I did not use, I did use some of these images on my contents page also, aswell as using some more than once.

Overal it took me two lessons to complete my front page and contents page, I produced my two peices by keeping them between the codes and conventions. Next time I will have longer to produce my work and i will take more pictures and include better articles, I will also be including a double page spread.
