The results from my questionnaire have brought back the following guidelines to bear in mind upon designing my magazine pages:
- The design is to be targeted at a male audience.
- Likewise, the age range is roughly of 17-19 year olds.
- Current magazines that have a similar genre are Metal Hammer and NME - I will use these for inspiration.
- ..Out of the two, Metal Hammer was labelled 'metal' more frequently, therefore the best out of the two to rely on regarding layout, photo dynamics, magazine name, etc.
- The double page spread is to have new album news and an interview of the band.
- One comment that stood out - from the final open question - was that editors of articles can be too obviously opinionated or biased - I will try to write a fair but unique article bearing this in mind.
