- Colour Schemes - colours to attract, postive, negative bright, eye catching

- shot lists

- Layouts - Where the pics fit, size and boldness - maybe a storyboard

i need to think about these things for my magazine cover, to make it look proffessional and up to date.

i could include a freebie with my magazine, to advertise my magazine, and make the magazine worthwhile reading to my generation e.g teenagers.

Should include :
A website
A date & Price - date line
and maybe the month according too


Questionnaire/ Interview
- Age
- Gender
- Types of music
- When the magazine is usually read
- Why
- What makes them read it - free stuff - information - views/ opinions - fun
