Similar Product Research and Target Audience

You must make sure your analysis is visual and that you use specific terminology. You should be commenting on the codes and conventions.
Important! You must say how this research has inspired you or how it has helped you to develop your own ideas. The point of this research is to enhance your learning so that you can generate more ideas for your own music magazine.

By now you should have at least three front covers on your blog - please ensure that you do cut aways from more magazines if you are still not sure about a particular code.

Challenge! You should have at least one contents page on your blog. You could also make a list of contents that you want to include in a separate post. You could also post an Update of initial ideas and response to the brief.

You could also start to create your audience profile - who are you making your magazine for specifically?

There are many things you could be doing to enable and empower you to produce the best music magazine possible.
