In my music magazine project, I made a front cover, contents page and double page spread. I named my magazine "Rock Sound", therefore the genre I chose rock. My demographic was college students who are into all different kinds of rock music. I used different kinds of software programs to construct my product:
. Photoshop
. Illustrator
. InDesign
. Word
This evaluation is the analysis of my whole product, including the build-up and construction.

Front Cover Feedback
People said my front cover looked "Professional" and exclaimed that it was a good photo. They also added that it had a nice font and that 'It looks like a real magazine". A few of them said that the picture looked slightly small but most said that the picture was good.
Interview For Double Page Spread
The Dogends are a new band on the scene, bringing a folk
style to popular rock! We have an interview with Melissa Lynch (Fiddle Player,
Singer and Part Percussion) from The Dogends and No Small Thing.
1.
How did your band form?
Roger and Bowler were in the Showdogs; who
broke up and reformed, so these two joined forces with Steve to form the
Dogends. Richard soon joined (friend of a friend) then I was introduced 4 years
ago as they were looking for a fiddle player.
2.
Tell me about the music
We play a mixture of folk, rock pop,
traditional etc. Whatever we feel like really, and we always dog-end it! We
have a varied selection of instruments – Banjo, Fiddle, Mandolin, Lead Guitar,
Bass, Drums, Whistle, Bodhran, Percussion, Ukulele and Acoustic Guitar.
3.
What Are The Plans For The Coming Year?
Massive promotion – just rendered a new demo. We’re busy promoting it
around pubs. We’re also developing a new website to include wedding and party
market. We’ve also got a new drummer so we’re developing lots of new material
for future performances and we’ve got another album in the making!
4.
How Do You Promote Yourself?
Through our website, leaflets, word of mouth and performing in pubs,
clubs, parties and festivals etc.
5.
How Did People React To Your Last Album? Was It
Successful?
It had modest success; it’s on iTunes and in most major retail shops. It
has had great reviews, hoping for more distribution of the next album.
6.
What Do You Do To Get Inspired?
We listen to lots of music – get ideas from each other, bringing ideas to
the studio and working on them together.
7.
You Are Also In A Smaller Band Called “No Small
Thing” With Steve (Another Band Member); Tell Us About The Difference Between
The Two Bands.
No Small Thing is Steve and Mine’s acoustic outfit, focusing in on Jazz
and folk music at smaller venues; the music is quite different to the Dogends.
8.
What’s A Day In The Life Of Melissa Lynch?
I spend most of the day practising, composing, working on new material,
rehearsing and sometimes doing photo shoots for the new album.
NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!
