Influences

Some genres i would like to consider for influences to my new music magazine would be rock, rock and roll, metal and blues. Some different magazine influences would be Kerrang, Q and the NME as those magazines are the ones which usually contain all of those genres i have specified. Also being a guitar player myself is a factor in what would influence my ideas and style of my new music magazine. I have a wide range of taste in music which is an advantage when creating my music magazine as it would allow me to explore different genres in more depth. AC/DC, The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Avenged sevenfold are all examples of my taste in music.

Although my favourite music magazines of all are guitar magazines such as Total Guitar, Guitar World etc. This is the type of magazine i am considering producing as i have a lot of knowledge in this certain field.

The publisher of Total Guitar is Future Publishing. I am going to research Future Publishing in more detail comparing them with some other publishers such as IPC Media the publishers of NME

New music magazine

I am going to produce a completely newly branded music magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread. I will be creating my double page spread on an A3 landscape and my front cover and contents page on A4. I will also be using at least four original images i have took myself. At the moment i have a basic idea of what i want to do, however i would like to research and expand on other ideas to see which i like the best and to also give me a deeper insight into other music magazines. Personally i am very excited to be creating a new music magazine as i love music and it also gives me the chance to express myself through many different creative aspects and forms
