1. I prefer RnB because i like the type of music performed and like to hear about the celebritys stories.

2. The main image and bright colours attract me to a magazine.

3. I prefer clash as it is feminate, fancier and more colourful than kerrang.

4.I prefer the smash hits one as it has a wider range of colour and stands out a lot more than the clash magazine.

5. I prefer to read real life stories as they tend to be more true than those of celebrities.

6. Leona Lewis attracts me more because of her stance and her position on the front cover. Also, there is not too much going on - as in not a lot of subheadings, which allows the reader to concentrate on the image more.

7. I find the one on the left more useful as it isn't too compact and confusing to find the contents list. Also the colour scheme is plain and simple which allows the text to stand out more whereas the other page is too full and cramped.

8. "This Week" catchs your eye first as there is a lot more text following it than the small space at the top where the contents is. The images are rather large too which catchs your eye a lot more than the actual textual information.

9.I am not sure because the one on the left is much calmer and uses brighter colours yet the one on the left is more chaotic as it is about motorbikes which i also like :)

10. I prefer brighter colours, not too much text on the front cover and a large image to grab attention. Preferably, the layout would look nice as the simple layout of a main image in the middle with little textual information around the outside.

Hi Jess,

Could be a good idea to print some of these questionnaires off and get them filled in.

1.Pop,RNB and indie becuase it's the kind of music i'm intrested in.
2.The image capture my attention more so,the masthead and what the articles are about also capture my attention though.
3.Kerrang as it stands out more with the words being split up with a line as though it is broken,where as clash is a little simple but it depends on what genre you were doing to what you'd choose.
4.Clash becuase Smashhits! lookes like there is too much happening and clash looks have been made for younger people.
5.I like a variety of music genres to but i enjoy reading the real-life stories about celbs.
6.Both attract my attention though 'beats' layout is a bit too simple for my liking although'Kerrang' is a little too much.The camera angles,poses and colour schemes are good on both though.
7.The second one as it has more images and seems more friendly towards the audience becuase of the note from the editor.
8.The writing on the first content was a little small and not many images were used but everything else seemed good.
9.Both articles would'nt intrest me but the layout on the second one does'nt entice more as much as the first although after a while i may find there's to much information on first one,i prefer the way the images are layered out in one aswell.
10.Depending what the article is about depends on thee ratio of texts and imagesbut i'd prefer more text than images and about the images (quite big)in the double page spread and the layout to be neat and organised but so i don't just look and think'too much writing' and then turn the page.
