Research into different music magazines (Front Covers) and Genres

I have had a good look across the internet at some different genres and different styles of music magazines that are on the market. I found the most popular magazines that i came across a lot were R & B and Pop magazines. From the beginning of the practical task i had always thought about doing a pop music magazine, or a genre of a magazine that i would be able to get together some people to take photographs of that would fit in with a well known genre.

I have analysed a few music magazine front covers to give me an insight into music magazines, i will soon go on to look at some contents pages and double page spreads to widen my research even further.

I created a mind map with some genres of music magazines and then went on to add in some pictures of magazines that fitted in with each of the genres. By doing this i can see the range of different images that have been used on the front covers of the magazines so it gives me an idea on the type of images that have been taken and are used for each different genre.
