Here is what I thought my final copy was, until feedback I made some small changes as identified in a later post showing the final piece.

After sending out my survey of questions for ideas for my front cover of my music magazine, I have got my results. Here I will analyse them:

Here is one of the questions I asked with a bar graph to represent my results. The title BPM was the most popular for people inside my target audience who answered my online questionnaire. I like this name very much and I will be using this title for my magazine because it is short and 'punchy'. It will not be forgotten by customers. The word beat can be used in a musical sense as a musical beat depicting a tempo, meter or a specific rhythm. For example Electric vibes is an effective name but I would argue that it is too long.

Here is the next question I asked my target audience. There is one clear favourite fort this question which is A DJ on the decks. I presented these results in a pie chart as it conveys clearly which answer was a favourite to my target audience. I think that A DJ on the decks will be a good image for my main cover photo because it portrays the genre correctly as I would argue that a DJ reflects EDM in a correct way. I will not be using fans in a nightclub as it would be harder to produce the photo. However I think that with fans in a picture there is no real focus whereas with one DJ and his decks you can really focus on the image and see all the different features of it.

The next question I asked was related to the cover line

For the cover line of my front cover I have been researching on the internet and have found some DJ name generating websites. For example http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/3675/#.VIV5of1B2Iw and http://www.fantazia.org.uk/interactive/djname_generator.htm

The name that have come up are effective and relevant to electronic dance music. However I will not be using any of them as some of the ones that appeared were inappropriate.
