Existing media.

In order to ensure I followed the codes and conventions of a real music magazine, it was important to purchase other existing products and analyse what makes them successful and which aspects I would have to include within my media product. I decided to focus on NME magazine as this is the magazine on the current market which I would like my product to resemble and also Vogue as although it is a fashion magazine as opposed to a music one, it will allow me to pick up certain codes and conventions which are typical of magazines in general.
