How have you combined the 'same but different' and 'familiar and the unexpected'?

I have combined the idea of using the concept of 'Same but different' with my AS media product of a magazine that i produced. I have used the same idea of creating a magazine which is based on the similar idea of existing products but i have made it differnet by using the genre of my choice and changing colour palettes and font types to suit the music being portrayed. I took the idea of a music magazine which can be found in any shop, i then took a specific magazine to look at which was 'NME'. This is beacause the magazine was similar to what i wanted mine to be in it's music genre, style and layout. So i took features of the 'NME' and put them in my design such as the colour palette and the style of the magazine. I made my magazine different by changine the font styles and colour and changing the content of what is in the magazine. I did this so people would immidiatly recognise what genre is being portayed from first seeing the cover of the magazine from the colours, fonts and style.
I have combined 'the familiar and the unexpected' in my magazine by keeping a similar colour palette that is used in existing magazines of the same genre such as 'NME' and 'Q' and i have done this so my magazine would be easily recognisable of the genre at first sight.
