Audience feedback

I asked a selection of people that would be my target audience for my magazine, their feedback showed me that my magazine is conventional and the majority of my answers suggested I have picked the right House style.

Double Page Spread

For my double page spread i used this double page spread for inspiration, i liked the layout of it and it followed looked cnoventional for a music magazine double page spread.


I used Quark Express and Photoshop to create this media product. I found both the programmes had their own features that helped create it, such as Quark Express for the wording and Photoshop for the layout and design.


This was the early stages of production, i had the mainout and i felt it followed conventional features of Magazine DPS from the early stages.

 I feel like this has made a lot of improvements since the other picrture, it is loking more conventional and it is my first mock up.
The picture change has made a mass improvemnet of the overall look of my magazine DPS.
