Evaluation of my first draft ....

                                I have made some changes to my draft  i deleted some of the coverlines down the left hand side of the page as i feel that it was to cramped. I also added a issue number to the bottom right hand corner alongside the barcode as i dont feel it is a major part of the magazine.

I have now decided that i am not happy with my front cover and i would like to make some changes to my magazine. I have evaluated my magazine again and i can up with a list of strengths and weaknesses

I feel that the colours and the photo i have chosen to use appeals to my only half of my target audience the magazine is only targeting females aged between 16 to 20. Also i feel the picture is edited well put it does not follow the tipical conventions of a normal music magazine by not having the celebrity in the centre of the page.

I also do not think the the name Hardcore fits in with the genre of music that i chose for my magzine, Hardcore more co notates a genre of rock such as hardcore rock i am going to do so more research into chosing a different name that fits in well with my genre of music.

Also i feel that i did not pull off the tipical conventions of a music magazine as they tent to layer the text that the put around the picture i have set out the text to structured.

I like the font i have used for the Hardcore i feel that it goes well with the name but the name does not suit my name.

I am now going to rebrand my magazine...........
