To gain inspiration for my magazine I decided to search the internet for "high fashion magazine front covers". The search brought up magazines varying from ELLE, BAZAAR, COMPANY and VOGUE, although these aren't regional magazines I found them very useful as they showed certain aspects of the type of magazine I want to create, for example the way the conventions of a front cover were set out, colour schemes and models. Here are the results of this search;

I then went to search for contents pages and double page spreads. By doing this I could get an even better understanding of what I want mine to be inspired and modelled from.

After searching I then realised that I would like to use the fashion magazine "VOGUE" as my inspiration as the front cover, contents page and double page spreads from this magazines company are very sinilar to how I picture my magazine to look. I like how the magazine use primary colours paired with black and white to make a statement which is what I want for my magazine. I want the monochrome theme to play a bit part in my fashion magazine, as for the contents page I love how there is one main image which is strong, therefore it doesn't require any other images beside it. 

Overall after looking for inspiration I have decided that I want to go for the simplistic yet strong look for my magazine as I plan to have it designed based on the magazine I have gained inspiration from.

As a regional magazine inspiration I have been looking at magazines such as ETC and Luxe, as these are magazine from the north east I have looked at the pictures inside the magazine and used them for inspiration for my product
