I recorded one of my friends voice where I asked him a couple of questions to help me when producing my magazine. As I am aiming my magazine at teenagers using my friend who is a teenager will help me to get an idea of what they expect and want from a music magazine. The first question I asked was "what do you look for in a music magazine?" By asking this question I am finding out what teenagers like in a music magazine and from the reply I found out that most teenagers like to see a lot of images that look appealing to them, vivid colours and they want gossip and competitions. The second question I used was "When you hear the word magazine, what comes into your mind?" and the reply I got was "gossip, famous people, fashion, quizes and competitions" this again tells me what they like in magazines and what they want to see in a magazines. this helps me as I know what type of features to use in my magazine. The last question I asked was "what typical conventions would interest teenagers?" and I got the reply "competitions and lots of images of teenagers" From this answer I can see the features that teenagers would like. From this research I am planning to put competitions as a feature in my contents page and use a lot of pictures of teenagers.
