How research has informed my planning and creativity

My initial thoughts for my magazine;

• I believe that my house style and branding used for my magazine will be very simplistic to establish the stereotype/convention of the classical music magazine, although I feel that I need to further my analysis on this to find the correct balance between, convention and defying it.      
• My masthead will be one sixth of the front cover and will use font serif as i feel it has the appropriate ambience for my target audience. 
• Photograph; i will have a full photograph for my model (medium long shot) possible in a recording studio, with an instrument. I will have to further research into this to find an image that is really exciting, youthful with lots of energy. Conclusively defy convention. Other images; these could be extreme close ups on an instrument with fingers/lips in shot, these will be ideal for my contents page.
• The colours i have thought of using will be very vibrant and will break the usual boring convention of classical music magazines. Vibrant blues and greens could be effective. Personally I think i need to further my research into potential colour schemes that would be used throughout the magazine.
• Pugs i will use will be within the price, date, issue at the top of the bar-code at the bottom right.
• I may include a single puff which would be small and quite simple.
• I am undecided about using banners although if i do i will have it over the image. 
• My main feature/cover line could include the following; workshops, events, announcements, information about performances, concert reviews etc. 
• I am unsure about the strap line or sell line or any buzz words i could use, so i need to further my research into these fields of the magazine.   
• The language shall follow convention and read fluently to connote quality in my magazine, it will also establish semiotics with other indexical signs, symbolic instruments. I believe that i will defy convention with the representations to be more youthful, energetic. Instead of following the usual convention of a brass band band playing in the rain with an average age of 64. :)
