POSSIBLE TITLE FONTS

Most people liked my idea of drum&bass genre for my magazine,

Here are some things people said about my drum&bass idea…

“different”

“colour scheme works well”

“I like the big tracks of the year idea”

Based on this feedback I decided to go for this idea seeing as my peers liked it

the most, however they did say that I would have to change the target

audience (17-25) as this is more appealing to more people.

I also came up with the idea that I could have one page based for boys and

one page said for girls or American vs. British music with different colour

scheme.

PEER FEEDBACK

So overall I have decided to choose Drum&Bass for my magazine, this is

appropriate as this is what my peers liked the best and my magazine will be for

them so it has to appeal to them. I think this idea will be the most effective

because its quite different so therefore there is a gap in the market for this

idea. I also think the idea of doing American vs. British music on my double

page spread will be a good idea because its unique and may attract a lot of

people, and I could also change the colour scheme for each page to make it

stand out more, this was an idea that was pointed out to me by a peer so

therefore I will think about this so I can attract my audience. However I am

going to think this through some more based on my target audience because I

need to make I appeal to them, and I will also think through some of the

ideas that they suggested.
