EVALUATION OF QUESTIONNAIRE
After reading through the answers from the questionnaires I have handed out, I have concluded; It will contain a dominating image that will take up the majority of the page and have strong colours. The image will be of a relevant, well known band/artist that is in the music industry related to the genre of music. Competitions to win tickets to see artists. Information about gigs and concerts coming up in the future. Will have bright colours Consistent theme throughout the magazine.
