MAGAZINE PLANNING
After going back to my intended audience for the magazine and asking them on which title they preferred for the magazine between,
They still went along with Fuse which got the highest votes, however, I felt the title, FUSE for a music magazine was such a cliché, so after giving it some thought and few suggestions, I came up with the title, 808 which derives from, The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer (a.k.a. the "808") which was one of the first programmable drum machines, so the 808 is one of the first beat machines, and is definitely a different name for a music magazine than what we usually hear of. 
The new title, 808, further brought up the idea for a new layout of the magazine, I decided to go for something different, more stylish and unconventional to what most music magazines look like, especially, Hip-Hop and R&B magazines. My new magazine inspiration would be the gentlewoman magazine which is really unique from other magazines as they are known to keep to black and white images with a subtle colour pallete, they keep their magazine simple but yet really stylish and unique, which is what makes them different and attractive to the eye.
So for my music magazine, I would be going for this stylish and unique look, but so as to add the essence of Hip-Hop and R&B I would be including a golden frame as the border of the magazine, similar to this Hip-Hop magazine.
