Ideas

Came up with ideas about what magazines know of which included well magazines such as Q, Vibe, Smash Hits, Kerrang, Q. Then we thought of some well known artists that would be included in magazines and thought of Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, Kings of Leon, Kanye West. Then decided what colours look professional  for music magazine that will make it more noticable for readers, this colours included green, yellow, black, white, red, gold and blue, so these are the colours that going to be considered when making my magazine.

We then narrowed our ideas down into different groups of ideas within what music we will include in the magazine. Thought of 3 music genres and picked Rap, Indie/Rock and Pop music then within each type of music we thought of what music magazines represent these music genres. So within Rap the magazines are 'Complex', 'RAP up, 'Hip Hop' and 'Vibe' some of the magazines we knew and others is what we found during research. Next was Pop music was 'Sugar', 'Top of the Pops', 'Vibe' and 'Smash Hits' and we looked into what consists of each magazine and what was different by looking at the layout, colour scheme, images and use of text depending on the type of genre.
