MUSIC MAGAZINE TEMPLATES: I produced these using Microsoft publisher as I thought it was quick and easy to give me a rough idea of what my music magazine will look like and where I would put certain images and texts. However, this can be altered if my target audience does not think it looks effective or eye catching.
