I researched many different magazines that I felt covered the same genres of music and intended readership as there would be no point in researching for example classical magazines when I am covering rock. This was a very important part of my planning as I had to review how each magazine your different features such as font style and the continuation of it. I researched magazines such as NME and Q to see how they designed each aspect of the magazine. I assessed each magazine to make sure I had a wide variety of concepts and ideas to create my magazine around.
