  My preliminary taskwas to create a College Magazine.I created my magazine using Microsoft Publisher and using my own images I had gathered throughout my years at college.The magazine didn’t look too pretty however it’s a step in the development of my music magazine.There was a lot of criticism of my college magazine mostly because it was not produced to a very high standard.I decided to use my feedback I received to make changes for my Music MagazinePreliminary Task (College Magazine)_

  It has developedgreatly from my preliminary task of acollege magazine in the sense that I have used a widerrange of technology such as QuarkXpress andPhotoshop to create it compared to the Microsoftpublisher I used to create my College Magazine.It challenges the traditional conventions of musicmagazines by being a lot more organised and having aclear and regular layout.Music Magazine

  The target audienceof my music magazine is male and females who are into Heavy Metal music and its sub genres. It is not ageist and does not take into account social class.The mode of address is informal and is relevant to the target audience.It would be distributed at a variety of vendors such as HMV and Tesco’s as well as g0od independent shops as well.Music Magazine
