Summary of results
Section 1 THE FRONT COVER (QUESTIONS 1-4)
1. What would like to see on the front cover e.g. sell lines?
Hannah - The sell lines should be short and snappy, grabbing my attention They also said how they would like to see fashion articles about the artists inside the magazine. They also would like if there were boy artists and bands in the magazine.
4. Contents page - what type of images would you like and how many?
The contents page should have at least 3 images as these advertise what is going on in the magazine. The images should fit nicely on the page but shouldnt be too large and overpowering or too small and UN-noticeable. Sophia- One of these images should be of the artist who is the main topic and article in the magazine.
