“What are your first impressions of the magazine cover?”“It looks very professional. I think it looks like it could be on the shelves in the shops, it has all the stories down the side and the title is really bold”“Yeah, to be honest I don’t see anything wrong with it, it’s all really clear”

“Do you think it fits the music genre?”“You can easily tell its punk rock from the picture”“And also the title has a kinda ‘punky’ font, it’s quite messy which fits in with that music style”

“Would you buy this magazine?”“Yeah. It has all the artists I like and it looks legitimate, so I could be happy with this magazine if I bought it”“I’d buy it, it looks like its full of things to read so it’s got a lot of content, so I think I’d like it”“Also I think it’s a good price”

“Does the photo shop work blend in well?”“It’s been photo shopped?”“If it has been it’s really good”“Exactly, I would think that she genuinely looks like that, what’s changed?”[LIST OF ALTERATIONS]“Her hair and makeup look real, so does her piercing so I would have to say it definately blends in really well [laughs]”

“Last question, do the colours work well?”“I think so, the pink and blue are obviously designed to match her hair colours and everything else is black and white, so it looks good”“Yeah I agree, it looks professional, I think the colours look good”
