From my results I have found many useful things and I will use a number of them. I have decided to put the words Acoustic and Unplugged and put these together, this was an idea I orginially had but having it in my results has confirmed it. I will use a black, white and red colour scheme. My magazine will cost exactly £150 and be sold once a month. This is good because it is 80 pages long so there will be a lot of content. My top image results were 'Busking' and in a random setting so I will most likely use a train station and have one positioned in a 'busking' way. On the cover I will have around 4 artist's mentioned and it will have an Inside section so readers know what is included. I will do a larger feature on 2 of the artists on my contents page. I will be using the words 'New', 'Orginial' and 'Charts' on my front cover aswell.
