I chose 4 of my favourite artists and will decide on which would be the best for my own magazine.
The first artist is The White Stripes. I think this band would be excellent to incorporate within my magazine because of their style. Their style is colourful and kind of childish however they do have quite a deep vibe to them too which means that they would appeal to a wider audience. The White Stripes' colour scheme is red, white and black which means that they would be suitable to incorporate into a magazine.
The second artist that I have chosen is the guitarist Saul Hudson (Slash.) Slash would also be great to use in a magazine because he has a very stylish appearance and appeals a lot to the teenage audience because of his "cool" appearance. Slash has a black colour scheme within his appearance so it would narrow down the audience slightly because some people aren't into that.
Bob Dylan is also one of my favourite artists because of his deep lyrics and strange style. Dylan would be a great artist to use to influence my magazine style choice because of his quotes, style and pragmatic messages that he has in his songs. Bob Dylan is not as heavy as the previous artists as he sings folk music therefore I will not be able to include him in a rock magazine however I think it would be a great idea to make a guitar magazine.
Pink Floyd are another favourite of mine as they have their own proper independent music which is very physchedelic and mysterious. This would be great to include in my magazine because of the colours and themes used. By giving the magazine a physchedelic theme I can make the magazine as strange and mysterious as I like however I would still have to use the correct layout ETC.
After comparing these different artists I have found it hard to decide on which artist's style to choose however I have decided to create a guitar magazine as I can interpret my favourite artists into that.

Luke. Broad doesn't even begin to cover these artists.
You've got the low fi Rock White Stripes, the over produced Slash post GnR, the far out Pink Floyd and the Poetic musings of Dylan.
A Q or maybe a Mojo are the only magazines I can think of which could be so eclectic in one edition. In terms of what you recreate you may be hamstrung somewhat by the youthfulness of your potential models so Dylan may be out (unless you go way back to The Freewheelin Bob Dylan of Blowing In The Wind), Slash will require you to have a fairly haggard looking teen. Most likely Pink Floyd of The White Stripes will be easiest to create a copy of.
