Editing of photos

I first used the quick selection tool to cut the model away from the backgroundThen using Refine edge i smoothed the edges over to remove all jagged edges for a professional look.

Then using the bucket tool I replaced the red top with bright yellow. so that it can coordinate for with the colour theme I have chosen for my front page.

I also added a plastic bucket to link with the theme of street drumming, as everyday tools such as buckets are used in this style of music.

I did the same For the contents page model but instead of a bucket I place a drum that matches the colours on her scarf so that it looks more of an accessory than a prop.

Primary research

• I decided to create a questionnaire to get a feel of what kind of people in my target audiences age bracket like in terms of music. With my genre of music being quite diverse, i knew that asking the template questions such as what king of music do you listen to, etc. would not be of use or give be reliable primary research. So i decided to ask closed questions such as:-

• Do you prefer to listen to your preferred music live or recorded? 
• If their answer to this question is yes then i can fairly assume they would be possible target audiences because they prefer to listen to music in its purest form which is what my music promotes.

If their answer to this is no then i know that they would not be interested in my magazine, however this may not mean that the magazine appeals to them.
I am fully aware that i have a very small target audience due to the genre of music i have chosen, so to ensure that my magazine sells, my main aim will not be to sale my magazine to my initial small target audience but it will also educate whoever would like to know. I want to highlight this genre of music in a more interesting way by creating a magazine based on it, I hope it will not only create awareness but also show that there is more to it that meets the eye.

Here are the questions i asked:-

• OPEN

1. Do you think the Price is reasonable? If no why?
2.  What is your general view about my magazine compared to other magazines in the market?
3. What would you suggest I could do, to make the magazine better?

• CLOSED

1. Do you prefer to listen to your music live or recorded?
2. If you saw someone playing the drums using a bucket and pot on the street, would you stop and listen?
3. Would you buy my magazine?
4. Do you think the colours chosen appeal to both male and female?
5. Are you familiar with the phrase street drumming?

To create my Survey I used a site called 'survey monkey'.

Survey monkey is the fast and efficient way of creating online surveys. It allows you to create a link to social networking sites in order to promote your survey and get as many results as possible.

In order for it to work well you will need a variety of open and closed questions. (open questions require more than a yes or no, closed questions only require a yes/ no).

Here are my results:
1. 20% recorded 80% live
2.80% yes 20% no
3.90% yes 10% no
4.100% yes
5.50%/50%
