Collage



I used all the research I had done before producing my final project so that i could compare classic rock and modern rock and therefore I developed a collage in order to show this comparison of sorts from the same genre of music. Although rock is a single genre of music it is extremely diverse. In this collage I have tried to show how diverse rock music actually is and how it has gone through an evolution over the years, and what better way to show this than by comparing the pioneers of rock to modern day punk rockers/ heavy metal bands etc.

Essay on the Questionnaires

Question 1:

For the first question most people have answered option B that is pop/rock. This shows that this is the favourite genre of music for the majority of the people.

Question 2:

For question no. 2 which was about bands the most number of people have answered option C that is metallica. However this is not a vast majority since quite a few have opted for greenday or linkin park as their favourite.

Question 3:

The third question was about favourite single artiste and option B which is Taylor Swift has a huge majority of 50%, therefore it would interest the readers if Taylor Swift is featured in the magazine.

Question 4:

Question no. 4 was about favourite Pakistani artist and this time Strings have a vast majority and are huge favourites. Featuring strings in the magazine would definitely add a boost to it.

Question 5:

For the fifth question which was about musical instruments, unsurprisingly a huge majority of people have answered guitar that is option A. Besides that only 5% said option B which was the keyboard.

Question 6:

Since old artists had to be taken under consideration for the magazine the sixth question was about old artists and the Beatles i.e option B had a vast majority. U2(option A) came in as the second most favourite old artists.

Question 7:

Music channels are also an important part of music magazines. MTV (option A) was the most favourite TV channel with a huge majority. 55% of the people voted for MTV as their favourite music channel.

Question 8:

Question 8 is about American idol contestants who have made it big in Hollywood. Chris Daughtry (option B) is the favourite with 70% of the people voting for him. So Daughtry should be a useful addition to the magazine.

Question 9:

The second last question is about famous guitarists who should be mentioned in the magazine and unsurprisingly Slash (option C) has emerged as the favourite. Therefore he should be included in the magazine.

Question 10:

The last question is about vocalists who should be mentioned in the magazine and Chester Bennington (option B) is the favourite with 50% of votes in his favour. Taylor Swift is second favourite with 25% of the votes.
