During the research and planning for my music magazine I deconstructed a number of front covers double, page spreads and contents pages of existing music magazines.

Here is one of the deconstructions

I done of a music magazine front cover.

By deconstructing relative magazines it increased my understanding of the actual construction of the magazine itself. After doing it a few times, I started to think about what went into the construction of the magazine, and I started to think about music magazines in more depth and more than just percieving it at face value.

I started to think more about the plugs and what type of plugs you can use, for example a pull quote from a piece of text. This helped me a lot when creating my magazine.

Whilst I was creating my magazine I decided to stick to the usual conventions of a music magazine. I wanted my magazine to be recognisable as a music magazine so I decided to stick to the formal layout as well.
