detailed research into forms and conventions part two.

I have chosen to create a music magazine of the Hiphop/RnB/Reggae/Urban as this is the genre of music i know most about, so will beable to write a lot and use my knowledge in my magazine. The readers of 'Vibe' and 'XXL' are Aspirers/radicals, Hedonists (social value) and of a C2/D jicnar scale. Reasearching magazines from my genre will help give a better idea about my magazine as I know who my competition are but also I can use them to get a better idea as to what the magazine has to be about and what it should feature. I can use the different styles and layout to make my magazine unique and maybe combine the two.
