How will my research influence my planning?

The research that I have collected shows me the different conventions that are used in a typical music magazine. They show me a lot of the things that I should include and the way I should lay out my pages. After researching the genre of magazines that I would like to create I am now aware of the kind of images, and stories that I can include on the cover, contents page and double page spread of my magazine. Due to my research I am now aware of the kind of layout I should have on my pages aswell.
