Research and Planning: Music Genre Research

I decided to research a little bit more into my chosen genre's of music since they all co-incide with one another, I have added definitions to help me out with the appearance of models and the magazine, To represent pop punk I would use upbeat colours, but still make the magazine look sophisticated to tie in with the older genre of Alternative rock, but also add an edgy look to the magazine to tie in with the older genre of Punk rock. I have also added examples of bands who lie in those categories to add as a reference and maybe even include them in my own magazine.
