Introduction (1.1 & 1.5) My task is to create a magazine front

cover with a image that I have changed and edited in Photoshop.

I will include all the typical things that a magazine front cover will have on it.

Survey Research (1.1 & 1.5) In groups of 3 Create a survey about

magazines. You need to find out what kind of things

people like to read and see in a magazine, when the magazine should come out and how much it should cost.

You need to com up with 10 questions and ask 10 people

Survey Questions How much do you read a week? What type of magazines do you read? What do you like about magazines? Do you enjoy reading magazines? Do you prefer pictures over text? Do magazine adverts persuade you to buy

them? How often do you read them a day? What would make you buy a magazine? If you ever saw a magazine that got your

attention would you buy it? What is your most read magazine?
