I was going to use a male for my magazine however i decided not to do this because, in the bollywood industry there are loads of male artists, and the magazines are mainy dominated by males so i decided not to go for this option. However as you can see i did experiment by taking pictures and i decided to go for a female artist.

this is another picture i was going to use for my magazine, it is very attractive and also eye catching, the background is nice, and the picture looks very professional.

I also looked at different genres of music to see how i can use their conventions in my magazine, in this moodboard i have studied r&b music i have noticed unlike bollywood music magazines they rarely use the same colour themes, most of these magazines are very colourful and have different colours everywhere. This is still very eye catching and appealing, however for my magazin i chose to use the same colour theme throughout as this is what bollywood magazines do.

this is also another picture i was going to use, it looks very proffesianal however the problem is that it looks a lot like an asian bridal magazine rather than music. it looks very fashion dominated rather than an artist who will be singing.

this is something i used to see how many people consume music magazines, and just magazines in general it was a great help as it showed me how i could do things to improve the purchase rate of music magazines.

this is an NME reader profile i used it to see how to create my own and also it helped to see how many people and in how many differnets ways they are interested in music, and also to what extents they will go to purchase music.

this is also one of the pictures i was going to use for my magazine, it is a clear image as the face is the main focuss. However i changed my mind for two reasons, the first one was that as i put text around the picture it was hard to read, and also this picture did not look nice when it was blured. the second reason is that the picture does not look to happy and the face looks a little grumpy, this would cause problems as people may not buy the magazine as it does not look appealing.
