Brummagem is a local regional magazine for Birmingham, likewise to my upcoming magazine. I was going to give my magazine this name before i found out about this magazine.
It is authored by Carl Chinn and has a unique cover-page with historic photos from the past of the cities people or buildings,because of the magazines unusual cover-page with 3 large pictures dominating space this makes me realise that i don't have to follow the traditional style magazines use; for example the magazines headings for the pictures are a lot smaller than most magazines will display there's. The pictures displayed on the cover-pages are always greyscale and i cant see what is inside the magazine but the cover-page is there to give you ideas and judging by Brummagems cover-page i believe the magazine have more ancient pictures, this magazine is predominantly focused on the past and doesn't really focus on current topics from what i have seen.
My magazine ( Talk Of The Town) will be opposite in that will mainly focus on the present and future but Brummagems format does influence me to do my own type of cover-page and not carry out the traditional way.
