Mood board

I have gotten a few images together which i feel are appropriate of my genre for aiming to get a greater understanding of what i should be putting on and inside my magazine.

Here is my mood board:

Picture Ideas (cover)

This is one of my favorite picture ideas, this is an image which i once saw in 'Kerrang!' the band is called 'A Day To Remember' They are quite a heavy rock band but i really liked how the image looks, the scenary in the background and the way the light shines through gives a ncie effect. I feel i could easily complete this task as i could make the background something mountainous as i live in an area surrounded by mountains, I also have a few people that i know which would suit this type of style of picture and that they would suit the style and genre of my magazine which i want to create.

 

This is the same band but in a different environment, i feel that this picture works really well as it is quite tight together and could be easily taken. I like the editing which has been done to this, the image in the centre has been brightened to create a more pleasent look over the band, it has a dark scenary within the background which then makes them stand out even more and makes the whole image of the band more attractive. I feel i could take this picture very easily as i have the correct environment very near to me with the dark background and i have the right people i feel to recreate this image for my magazine.

Here i have an image of a mixed band, this band is named 'Paramore' they are genre specific to soft rock/punk. I think that this image looks very professional, i think this is a good image as it could be easy to recreate as it is very basic but shows the band off well so is fully effective, i like the image as it has the same genre aim as my magazine and this one seems to be effective so i feel that this could work well with my magazine. I feel that i could create this image well as i have people which would suit this type of image and i feel it would be very effective.

Second results of questionnaire (Masthead)

I gave out my questionnaire for a second time to gain a better understanding of what people would like to see the masthead of my ideal music magazine. When i give it out this time i gave it to three males and three females. This time when looking at my masthead question which this time i gave the options of 'Music melody' and 'InSync'. My results this time showed that four people prefered the masthead 'Music Melody', this was a range of both male and female with it being two female and two male, giving it a good balance of gender towards my magazine. I am aiming for a multi-aimed audience aiming at male and female so i feel that 'Music Melody' will fit my magazine better than 'InSync'.

Questionnaire draft

This is my first draft of my questionnaire, i am going to make improvements on some questions as i feel that some of the questions are not very appropriate. I will also be adding a few more questions which will give me a better idea onwhat people would like to see in a music magazine.

My finished questionnaire

This is my finished questionnaire. I have added a few more questions which are relevant to music magazines and will give me greater understanding on peoples views and doings with music magazines.

 

I have edited this a few times before getting this finished result, i feel that this is a fair and gives open and closed question which is effective for a questionnaire. I feel that this will give me good results to make me have a greater understanding off what people would like to see no my own music magazine.
