Photoshop Fonts (DaFont) & Magazine Title Ideas 2





Reader Profile (Comments)

In conclusion to my reader profile, I believe it confirms my idea for a music magazine. The styles of music that are preferred are very similar to what is shown in NME, which is going to be similar to my magazine. It was interesting to see that the same number of people buy CDs compared to downloading illegally. It was also interesting to see that a small number of people own a Mac but most people (nearly everyone) own a PC. My Music magazine will cover Rock, Pop and Indie music.
