After looking at the answers on the questionnaire I have decided on some ways I can improve my ideas for my magazine.
My magazine will be for females between the age of 15 and 25 years old who enjoy pop music. My front cover will be neat and organised to make sure it isn't overcrowed. Also on my front cover I will use a bright colour on top of a dark background as this make the writing stand out more. My contents page will be organsied as I will catagorise the information in the table of contents to make it more easier to read and the readers will be able to find what their looking for straight away. On the Double Page Spread I will have the main image in the middle of the right side page with three smaller images above and below the images becaise it will look more organised. On the left side page will be two colums for the article and to the right of the images will be another colum for the rest of the articles. To makes sure my images links in with the genre of pop, I will make the model wear a costume that represents the genre of pop. Also I will make sure the location is appropriate for the genre of pop. I will use appropriate language that is informal and casual so it links will my target audience.
