Theory: Naomi Wolf Beauty Myth

As part of the build up to creating my magazine, I have to research into three different media theorist. For the first one, I researched into Naomi Wolf's Beauty Myth.

Questionnaire Results

Following my previous post about the questionnaire, I have received my questionnaire results and made them into pie charts. This is what I have concluded from the results and this will be the criteria for my music magazine.

Music Magazine Questionnaire

In order for me to create my magazine, I need to do a little research into what the audience would want to see and expect from a music magazine, therefore I created this questionnaire and from the results I receive, this is how I will determine what my magazine will feature.

Music Magazine Analysis

As part of my Media Studies course, I have to produce my own  music magazine products, so in order for me to get a feel of what I needed to have in my magazine I have done an analysis on existing music magazines. I have made comments on two front covers, two contents page and two double page spreads.

Here is what I have came up with.
