Initial Ideas

Initial Ideas
This post will include my initial ideas towards my front cover, contents page and my double page spread of my magazine, I will include some real life examples of magazines that are my stylistic influences and what I am going to change to make my ideas original and unique. I will also analyse these magazines in detail to show where I got my stylistic influences from and why I like them in the first place. The two magazines that I am going to analyse are 'Q' magazine and 'NME' magazine as they fit in with the type of magazine that I would like to create. However, the two magazine types that I have chosen to analyse both hold features that I would like to include in my own magazine 'Smoke and Mirrors', this is because NME is for a specific genre, whereas Q has a wider variety of musicians and acts contained within it it. 

My first initial idea for my magazine was to do a rock genre magazine, but then I decided to change the genre as I wouldn't be able to fulfill the requirements of the specification if I were to do so. I changed the genre to a more modern, up to date pop/mixed genre of music magazine as I  found it easier to write about and would be able to create a magazine based on it. I will include my analysis to real life magazine products in my next post so that they can be separate from this post itself.
