Task 5 - research into different music magazines

I have come to my final conclusion to create a rock magazine after the research I have
carried out which has allowed me to understand rock is the most creative and most
dominant sub genre when it comes music magazines, however this will make it the most
competitive and with magazine sales falls on the whole I am going to try and offer
something new to my target audience for the magazine to be a success.
Reasons to pick rock over other sub genres ? ( Rap, R&B and Pop)
. Loyal following Unlike R&B, Rap, and pop
. Older age range (wealthier) Unlike R&B, Rap, and pop
.Consistently changing art form. Mostly Unlike R&B, Rap, and pop
.Largest profit generator again Unlike R&B, Rap, and pop

Three Genres Rock/Heavy rock/ Pop rock

Musmusical express is a very popular rock and roll magazine


NME - New
which caters for my target audience, it has many good ideas that I
could use as inspiration such as the clear and memorable masthead.
NME is also is very aware on its target audience and very rarely caters
for anyone other than its core market something that I will also take
note of. Finally its articles are always very engaging to the reader and
gains attention quickly another goal I will be aiming to achieve .

Kerrang- Is also a is a very popular rock magazine however it caters


a more heavy rock audience rather than my intended target audience,
however it has many good ideas that I could use as inspiration such as
the clear and memorable masthead. The core audience that kerrang
caters for heavy rock artist and the magazine almost never sways
from this which is consistent ideal that I am aiming to follow for my
music magazine it also has a very unique articles that rarely follow
convention of music magazines this has hugely increased popularity of
'Kerrang!'.

'Q' Is slightly different from the previous two magazines as it does


feature rock but does likely stray from its core audience but
occasionally featuring artists from other genres. It also follows the
convention of the previous magazines by having a clear and
memorable masthead which I will use as use as inspiration. 'Q's'
articles are always unique and original this helps it become a very
engaging magazine to read, something I will be looking for to appease
my target audience.
