Music Magazine Inoduction (countinued)

What I am Doing

For my first AS media coursew work I was tasked with creating a coverpoage, double page spread and content page of a music magazine. The research for this course work will be very complex and dertailed, I would need to reasearch into differentr types of Music magazine and then pick the genre I would lik to vnture into, but I was that it will be possible to merge to different types of genre into one magazine; this is one type of asp[ect I would love to venture in.

In this blog I would be givving very detailed anaylysis of each step I take, this type o analysis is needed to note to the examinrs of each different stps I took in my jorney to creat this magazaine.

I am personally excited for ths project because I get toexpress my uintrest in both music and media in one project.

 

What Is A Music Magazine

 

 

 

What Diferent types of music magazines exist

 

Pop  Magazines



Pop Magazines usually if not all the time consists of bright and femmine colours, different typs of font slammed onto the page, a majority of differnt images slammed onto the page, a cover image consisting of a pop star; uses miss en sense very much like the magazine consists of brightly coloured and femine clothes. In additions Pop magazines cover pages are usually clutted with a lot of information of different articles inside the issues to draw their demographic into purchases that particular issue.

Sinces the intnnd target audience for Pop magzines (especially the example above) are pre teen and early teens females; the magazine had been particulaly formated to suit the choosen demographic, for example the use of bright flamboyant colours, articles giving advice of hair and makeup, articles about the "Hottest Celeb Gossip". Usualy the itle and mastrheads of pop magazines would be quit large and would probably stand out mre thn ay other txt on th page and consist of bright femmine colours to suit the demographic.

The cover image would always consist of current and popular artist who had offered exclusize intervies with the publication. 

The laungage used in these typs of magazines is always informal, this was spefically done by puplishers and editors to allow the demographic to feel that they can relate to the magazine and thus th readers develope a relationship with issues prompting them to buy more magazines from the publishers.

 

 

Rock Magazine

 

Rock and Heavy metal mgazines are globbaly know for having a very dark overtone and theme this is one to link in withg the entierty of the genre. The front covers are also clttered with text and and puffs much like Pop magazines. Heavyumetal artist and listeners of heavymetal are knopw to have a very wild and unconrolable attitude this is reflected in the magazines front covers. Norm,lly the coverstart of rock magazines would not be new up and comming artist but rather a band or an artsist so are well know in the indusrty that would be rememberd for a vry long time, Jimmy Hendrix being a prime example.

 

 

 

 

Indie Magazine



 

 
Indie Magazines are known for having very simple masthead and the entire page is not overdone. The title would take up the entire top section of the magazine, which would make it easier to spot on the shelves amongst the other magazine competitors. Like most other music magazine the cover image would be of a current artist or band as most indie music is aimed at a younger generation. Some indie magazine would include puffs with other band names and current news in the indie industry. There could also be other graphic images of other indie bands that are also current and this would attract the consumers as it doesn’t feature just one band or musician. The colours would be dark and neutral as indie can be like rock but it is not as heavy and loud as rock so the colours would reflect on the magazine. Indie is also not as messy as rock so that would also reflect on the magazine as it would not be as crowded or cluttered as the other magazines such as pop and rock.
