The Next Steps, Evaluating 'Q' Magazine


The first step to creating our magazine, was to investigate the different key terms of a magazine that an editor may use. We learnt all about house styles, mastheads, straplines, the use of photography and pictures, headlines, cover stories and many more, and also the importance of all of these aspects. After we investigated the different terms, we all brought a music magazine to evaluate. I chose 'Q' magazine, which is a very popular music magazine. I evaluated the front page, and also a double page spread from inside the magazine. The purpose of this task was to look at the house style, and see what looked good and what did'nt look so great. This task really helped me to get a good idea of what my magazine should look like.
