I will begin this task by researching popular music magazines already in the market such as:

• Kerrang!
• Rolling Stone
• NME
• Q
• Mojo

From de-constructing the conventions of these magazines it will help me when creating my own music magazine as it would be in straight competition with them, therefore i need to check the price of these magazines, the mastheads, genre, font styles and target audiences.

When beginning to plan my ideas i will use a mind map where i can store all of the ideas which are original to me and therefore be able to check back at them throughout the making of the music magazine.
