Research into similar products/ Drafting and planning

One website that is influencing my choice of news is: Visit Birmingham
It has all the key news about Birmingham appropriate to the time of year. It covers all of my choices of what I'm covering. Music is shown through "Birmingham Festival Planner", Leisure through "The Mailbox". Elements of travel can be identified through "Birmingham New Street Station". When thinking of extra articles to add into my magazine, I can refer to this website for a great guideline. 
Further down the home page, sport is addressed as it talks about the "Rugby World Cup 2015" and Leisure is further emphasised through "National Sea Life Centre" and "Cadbury World". I can use all of these subjects within my magazine as they are all suitable for students through: days out, passions for sport, longing for new clothes, attending music festivals and gigs, and finding easy ways to travel around England through the new and improved New Street Station. These stories will be highly relevant in a student regional magazine.
Looking closely at this website all of the different sections that will be included in my magazine are evident. This reassures me that I'm on the right lines, and I am successfully including the right information that a regional magazine should hold. 
However, it is not only the information that has captured my attention on this page, I have been intrigued by the use of images to represent Solihull, the Black Country, Herefordshire etc. This has made me rethink my ideas for my billboard. I think that I should use a dynamic dominant shot of one particular places as this may be eyecatching to my target audience. This is important because my age is within my targeted demographic and if this has captured my attention then surely it would capture the attention of others. To find out whether this is relevant, I am going to conduct another survey on Survey Monkey, I will publish the link in a later blog post.
