Research into Other Pop Magazines

The Task
I am going to be looking around for different pop magazines to get an idea of layout, and names most commonly used and associated with the genre of pop. For this I will be using the internet to research as well as looking in shops to see what is available there. This task will hopefully give me a better understanding about how successful magazines for different genres are presented in magazine form and this will help me later on when I chose one pop magazine to do a detailed analysis of it.

The Research
I decided to insert all my findings into a wordle document to ensure that it is easy to view. This is a clear and precise way of presenting it and key words of the genre and the magazines. I found that many pop magazines will have short monosyllabic names making them easy to remember and quick to say when talking about.

The Conclusion
From doing this research I have managed to find out a lot about my chosen genre, this knowledge will help me when I start the creative process and start thinking about good names for the magazine, as I have another reference point full of previous research. This is also helpful as the colours I used in the wordle are the most common types used in the pop magazines, with the exception of white and red which is only used in a few magazines such as Q.
