C lic k to e d it Mas te r s ub title s tyle

In class we spilt into groups of four to plan the type of music magazine that we each wanted to produce independently. We felt that working in a group situation to come up with the basics for our independent music magazines

would be more useful than working alone as ideas can be created more easily in a group. I worked with Rabeah. After a lot of discussions, we

decided on a rock magazine for Males between 35-40 year olds. Classic rock seemed like a good magazine that related to the type of magazine that

ROCKSTOP OF THE

Out of all the possible names that were in the mind map, we decided on the name ‘TOP OF THE ROCKS’. The reason for this was because it related most to the magazine that we wanted to create.
