Institutions - I will be researching on the institutions for the music industry, by researching on the institutions I will be able to choose which institution I will use, as some institutions have there own style as NME uses less pictures then KERRANG, both use the typography of capitals but use different techniques.The international publishing company own the music magazine's of country life, Now and Tv weekly.

Kerrang uses many images on there front cover, that's there iconic style,there logo is at the top of the page, so it's a recognizable brand.KERRANG Magazine was first published on 6 June 1981.
KERRANG, Q and MOJO are published by Bauer Media Group. The 3 magazines are advertised as men's magazines. KERRANG was devoted to the New Wave of British Heavy Metaland of rock acts. The name KERRANG was produced from an power chord on an electric guitar. In the early 2000s it became the best selling British music newspaper. The Bauer Radio then Emap launched Kerrang as a digital radio station, across the UK. KERRANG TV is a digital television station owned by Box Television, part of the Bauer Media Corporation, that launched in 2001.
Q Magazine started out as a music magazine published monthly in the UK. It was to be called Cue, so it could be named after the act of cueing a record to play, but the name was changed so that it wasn't mistaken for a snooker magazine, so it was named Q. The magazine was first published in 1986, had higher standards of photography and printing. Q is based in Birmingham with KERRANG.MOJO is a popular music magazine published by Emap, and since January 2008 by Bauer, in the United Kingdom. The effort of the magazine Q, publishers Emap were looking for a title that would cater for the burgeoning interest in classic rock music
MOJO was first published on 15 October 1993, keeping with its classic rock and history. 'Q', 'MOJO' and 'KERRANG' are aimed at older teens to adult. An adult market however is Usually bought by males but not just targeted at them. They include a variety of music. They use a specific colour scheme of white, black and red. It's different to NME as the Bauer Media targets an older audience. 3 RD Institution

To conclude, I will be choosing to use NME for my magazine cover I will be choosing to use NME as it uses one image on it's cover and uses various fonts and sizes across the page. NME appeals to me as it uses 3 colours that makes it look professional. By using NME it will allow me to research there magazine's and by doing this it will enable me to find the conventions that a magazine uses, so the identifying of the conventions will help to make my magazine cover.
