Future Publishing - Future publishing was created in 1985 by an unemployed computer journalist, Chris Anderson. It is a special-interest media company based in London and Bath. Future publishing have produced games, technology, automotive, cycling, films and photography magazines. publishing just over 100 magazines since its existence. Future Publishing have produced such music magazines as Total Guitar and Guitar World. These are two magazines which possess similar elements to my idea as i have taken those magazines as my inspiration.

IPC Media - IPC Media is one of the UK's leading magazine Publishers producing such big names as NME, Nuts and Loaded. The NME music magazine is also another large inspiration into the ideas of my new music magazine as it is full of creative layouts and a unique twist on the world of music.
