Q1

From this I can tell the audience will be primarily female and I therefore will need to change it so the colours and the layout of the magazine have feminine connotations. The colours I will use are pink, light blue, black and white as I want to keep to the punk/rock conventions as well.

However, as this is a magazine based on both genres liking the chosen genre, I will make my magazine look more gender neutral.

The band which was repeated was Decade. I will try and use this band in my contents page as they are more popular in my results than the rest.
