Music Magazine Research

In order to create my music magazine, I need to understand the codes and conventions of existing music magazines, I have looked at a number of magazine to see what aspects of them I can replicate in some way in my own magazine to make it appear more like an existing music magazine. I have looked at a range of covers, contents pages and double page spreads. This will help me develop my own ideas and help me think about the type of image I want to create with my magazine.
