Summer Photos

I have chosen 4 of the pictures of when i went to coldplay , i have chosen these for ideas for my magaine because they are all to do with a gig, although my magazine is based upon the genre " Rap ", and coldplay definately are not rap, the images of hands in the air and flashing lights could be assosciated with a rap venue or a festival where a rapper could be performing. so this is why i have chose these specific ones.

Questionnaire Charts with annotations

The question "what clothes shops interest you?" was most favoured towards topshop which around 1/4 of the answers went to.




The question "what do you spend most time doing on the internet?" was most favoured toward youtube and twitter which almost half of the answers were.




The question " what is your favourite clothing brand?" was again favoured towards topshop considering the ratio of girls in the class is higher.

 the most favoured music genre was pop/rock, closely followed by indie/pop, this gives a good idea of what music features i can use in my magazine.

the best favoured genre of film was horror/comedy so this is an essential answer of what people prefer to watch.




I could inlude something about twitter and youtube in the article because that was the most favourite

most of the people i asked didnt read magazines so i could include a link to a website on the front cover if they didnt want to read.

i could also add a competiton for example " win a 14 day cruise to the Carribean for you and 2 others if you complete this questionnaire inside, winner will be chose at random"

as you can see the easily most favourite type of shopping was clothes shopping, so i know that it will be a very good idea to include something about clothes shopping. E.g Offers inside  ( 20 percent off at topshop ) ...




the cover title of my magazine could be about a New Indie/Pop band #trending on twitter
