From my annotations I have found that there are many distinctive things that all popular magazine do and use to make sure that, that edition is as successful as the last one. For example I found that most magazines I saw used mid-shots and are focusing a lot on their facial expressions and attitude towards the camera. As I have annotated three magazines with quite different artists on the front I can conclude that not matter what genre they use they all use the techniques. On the magazine covers the shots that they used don't focus on the mise en scene, they rarely have anything in the shot with the artist.
From analysing these magazines I have decided to use mid-shot images and to either use country or pop genre for my magazine, I have decided this as I have been inspired by the artists that I like and listen to due to their over all image and the signals they give off through there music, images and to their fans in general.
I have also decided next that I am going to create a questionnaire/focus group to help me with some of my decisions and the over all look for my magazine. I also plan on researching contents pages and the first double page spread of some magazines to give me ideas for the rest of my magazine and what I need to include.
