Students look at two bands, the image they portray and what makes them appeal to audience before designing their own band for a target audience of their choice.

A scheme of work outline covering the theory of fanzines and fan websites followed by the analysis of existing fan sites and design of a new fan website.

Instructions for students and a table for use when collecting information about fanzine websites. After conducting some research, students printscreen and annotate several fan websites before writing a comparison of the sites.

This includes the front covers from several fanzine publications. Students should annotate the images noting down features common to all the fanzines. Students should recognise the amateurishness of the publications etc.

Resources and task sheets for students studying about fanzines and fan websites.
