I think that the final product looks very professional and well made. There is an originality to the style of the magazine that makes it stand out. The content of the magazine looks like something that myself and my friends would be interested in which is important as the magazine is targeted to this age group. I also liked the fact that there were features of the magazine for that issue but also regular features that gave the magazine authenticity.

I'm really shocked by the outcome. The magazine looks like something that I'd be interested in purchasing. It has relevant musicians that are preferred by the target audience and also has new up and coming bands. I liked the fact that a band form Chelmsford was used as this would draw in readers from Essex and also London as the band is getting more and more publicity. The colour scheme works really well and the layout is very original.

I think that the final product has turned out really well. The cover looks very professional, and also the double-page spread looks like it came out of a published magazine. I like that the double-page spread was a written interview as opposed to the usual Q&A that many music magazines have. The use of the same model throughout helps the magazine flow well which I think is important for a magazine.

The final outcome looks amazing. I'm really shocked that this was made by an AS student as it looks really professional. Although I'm not really into this genre of music I do still enjoy certain artists work so I would definitely consider buying this magazine. It appeals to both genders which is really important as many music magazines tend to be aimed at men. I like that the front cover is not piled with information and extra photographs so it keeps the magazine simple but draws the reader in. I think that the editing of the photographs is really impressive. The Deadlights photograph fits really well with their name as only the main singers face is shown whereas everyone else's has been blacked out.
