Photo Analysis

Overall I like this photograph as it has a "mystery" element to it. I believe this shot would be suitable for a polaroid related to another story in the magazine.

Overall I like this photo as the two models really do look as if they could be professional musicians. The background around the models does show some parts that could be difficult to render.

 This photo seems as if it should be the image for my main headline, which is based on a well known band releasing a new best selling album. An image of two guitarists and a singer is the most suitable image for a band, that I have taken.

This photo shows two band members passed out due to drinking too much alcohol, shown clearly by the number of alcohollic drinking bottles in the background. The shot is also taken over a wall so that it looks like it was taken without permission, by paparazzi.

This photo shows a shot of the main singer from the previously mentioned band, this image could be used in the double page spread.

This photo shows a shot of a musician using modern technological devices in order to alter music to improve it. I believe this could be used as another story in the magazine as it seems to be a relatively different photo in comparison to my others.

Questionnaire Results

Overall almost all of the answers I received for the age group question showed that they were within the group my magazine is aimed at, showing that that the results for the other questions should be valid.

All of the answers I received showed that they were all males, once again within the target audience of my magazine.

Most of the results showed that the poll was mostly undertaken by rock fans, meaning that their opinions are more-so valid than fans of other genres, since my magazine is of the rock genre.

It seems clear from the results that design number 4 was the most popular and since the survey was mostly taken by rock fans, this sends a clear message to me that this is the design that I should use for my masthead.

Similarly the typeface "Trashco" was seen as most popular, and for the same reason above leads me to believe that this is the font I should use.

This is Sam, like most readers of Omega, he is within the age group of 16-25 and enjoys listening to rock music. They tend to oftenly attend rock concerts with their friends listening to bands such as: Anberlin, The Killers, Neon Trees, Muse and The Strokes. In their spare time they enjoy watching films or comedy sitcoms - if they cannot go out with their friends. They usually shop at stores such as HMV or Zavvi for their musical needs and stores like Top Man or Super Dry for their clothing.
