The main magazine that I looked at was Kerrang as that is the magazine that is most similar to my own and I looked in particular at the front covers with bands on the front cover as these will be the ones that are most similar to my own magazine. I also looked at other music magazine that are not the same genre as Kerrang. I looked at Q and at billboard magazine as these are two well respected and popular magazine that have a lot of readers. I have looked at the typical codes and conventions of these magazine and made my magazine to accommodate these codes and conventions. Each magazine has put its own spin on the codes and conventions that are typical on a magazine and so have I.
