Research summary
My research has overall helped me to create a concept for my magazine. From researching the layout and content of magazines out in the market now, I have thought of how I am going to present my magazine in layout form and the main story I am going to write about.
By researching it has also helped me think of what genre my magazine will be based around, the main colours I will use, my target audience and the codes and conventions of a magazine which I need to make sure I include.
From observing other music magazines it gives you an insight of how to do your own, I have picked my genre as being R&B Hip Hop where I have chosen the masthead to be 'Swerve' as it is a cool, relaxed name with interlinks with the genre of my magazine, also the fonts I have used are suitable for the genre of my magazine and my target audience.
I have looked at the colours which are used and in Billboard and Vibe magazine - they are usually quite bright colours which makes it more appealing, so I will use a range of bright colours as well as some darker colours throughout my magazine to make certain parts stand out from the rest e.g a bright pink accompanied with a dark grey.
The main part of research which has helped me the most would have been looking at the layout of magazines, I looked at various types of magazines such as Billboard magazine, NME and Q magazine and seen the type of layout they use and how they make their magazines stand out from the rest.
The thorough researched I have done has helped my create my concept for my magazine as well as my actual magazine. I have got an insight to how a magazine is put together and all the things which I would need to include in order to create a successful magazine.
