Research and Planning

To create my own music magazine, I first had to analyse and research different magazines from various genres to get an idea of what conventions are followed.

Reports

 The idea of the reports was to see the overall view of magazine conventions/layouts to see if they have been followed or broken.

Report #1 - “My Findings on the page design of music magazines.”

Report #2 - “My findings on representations within music magazines.”
