draft feedback

Music magazine drafts feedback.

I got feedback off my media teacher and a student that is in my lesson. They both criticised my images, they said they are too blurry which I know they are. They also said I should look more at existing magazines on the market to help me focus on the correct conventions I need to put on my front cover.

How I will address these issues:

I’m trying to organise another photo shoot with the band I want to use. This is proving difficult though due to college and job commitments of the band. I also need to focus more on the typical conventions used on front covers. I’m going to look at existing magazines and choose a style to copy.

magazine mock

This is a very rough idea of what my magazine layout is going to be like. I made the draft on publisher and I will use it as a guideline.

top 40 chart

The top 40 this week has no band or artist from my genre of music. The top 40 is all mainstream music and does not fit into my genre. There are no artists that could be included into my magazine.

Price

Three existing magazines are kerrang, rocksound and metal hammer. The price of kerrang is £2.20 and it is issued weekly with no free gifts. Rocksound is issued monthly and costs £3.99. Every month you get a free cd with tracks that are seen as up and coming singles. Metal hammer is similar to rocksound it is issued monthly and costs £3.99 with a free cd on the front.

My magazine will be published monthly because I think the contents within it would then be better than a weekly magazine. My price would be £2.99 which is cheaper than the other monthly magazines. With it being cheaper it may attract more people to buy it. On the front there will be free cd’s and other gifts like free downloads on itunes.
