The general opinion of my friends whom were between 16 and 18 enjoyed R'n'B and House music, so I chose this as the theme of my mag, which led me to naming it 'Bounce' as this type of music is quite bouncy. Also, Bounce is the name of a very popular R'n'B song, the pose of my model matched this genre aswell. I found out that my target audience were willing to pay between £1.50 and £2.00 for the magazine, and they would like to see interviews, horoscopes and paparazzi photographs published in the magazine. My audience did not mind what gender model was on the front cover, nor did they mind how many people were on the cover. The general opinion was that they liked the font 'perpetua' so I therefore used this as my title font, although pussycat was also fairly popular so I used this for sub titles. The majority of people thought the title 'Bounce' would be most appropriate, so I was happy as this was my opinion aswell. There were various colours which were chosen, so I have mostly used primary colours on my cover, so it does not look too busy or bright, yet still sophisticated. The general answer for the final question was that it should be brought out every week.
