Here is the link to my audio questions.
I have asked an 19 year old and a 15 year old my focus questions.

I have used audio questions because I wanted to see how different people would respond to my music magazine as well as tell me what my magazine should consist of or what would interest them into buying a music magazine.

I had chosen the title Big Bang Monthly as Big Bang is onomatopoeic as seen in Clash magazine. I have also used the idea of initials used in NME to make my masterhead stand out more and easy to read or see when looking at my magazine rather than Big Bang Monthly as my masterhead. I have used this but below my masterhead to show what BBM stands for.

I think the most important feature in a music magazine should consist of new music, up to date music, new artists or bands, events or gigs, chart posititons and interviews of the artists featured on the front page. When asking people about the features in a music magazine they had agreed and said this would attract more audiences outside of the target audience.

I had chosen blue, black, red and white as these colours are mainly associated with inidie music and it refers to British music and these colours also stand out as I had put the front cover image as black and white.

The main article should consist of photo's, question' about the artist's life, extra information about them, events or gigs they would appear in, new tracks or albums and should be easy to read with slang for readers to feel they can relate to them and show the artists are relaxed and easy going. When asking this question the people agreed as the interview should be fun, easy to read and able to make you feel invited .

When reading a music magazine, what inspires me is knowing that the artists or bands featured are real people who are down to earth not obsssed with money or fame and can do normal things such as go out and shop as well as fashion or knowing you can make music to.

What would make me want to buy a music magazineis who is on the front cover, the sell lines, quotes from articles inside, freebies or if any artists or bands i like are featuring in the magazine.
