The second major change is what features on the front cover. Before, I planned to feature a collage of music album front covers from 2011 and have the lead feature be on the Best Albums of the Year. Seeing as our audience research, however, prefers band specific features. So, to entice those people in, the main front cover story will be on a band. However, the albums piece will still be the main feature and will be included on the front cover, but tucked away in the top left of the cover so as not to interfere with the photo.
Chad: After conducting the questionnaire and alalysing the results; have chosen to change several aspects of my intiial ideas. After looking at Question 3 on the survey, the magazine should have its primary focus of pop/mainstream music, a fairly large focus on indie music, and a slight greater focus on dance and rock music compared to Rap or Classical music.Also, I will try and have an equal ratio of images:articles. It will be a monthly magazine. The majority of the features will be either band specific features or album review features, with some others. The magazine will cost £3.39. The magazine will not have a freebie as paying for freebies in magazines was not popular in the survey. It should have a professional written style, as well as the professional design. We will also use the logo they chose. Because of the fact that it would be impossible for me to photograph any festivals, and have never done so before I have decided to change my issue to a standard issue - November's. As I am no longer doing a festival special, the colour for the logo will no longer be green. The colour scheme will stick to neutral colours, which will also make it seem more professional. My contents page will feature photos from some of the articles, and my double page spread will no longer be festival act reviews.

Excellent reflection on specific audience requests/comments.
