When creating my final products, I had a lot of inspiration from existing magazines. Through my research and planning, I found thatThe Crack, INDIE and Spark magazines had similar target audiences, genre and colour schemes that I wanted to approach. Looking into this further, I liked the outcome of The Crack the most therefore used The Crack's conventions to inspire my own products and adapt to my own magazine. At the same time I wanted my magazine to be able to compete with the real media products therefore I made subtle changes based on appealing to my audience to challenge the current market.
