Research into similar music magazines on which you could base my own magazine on.

Possible magazines to base my own on:

Billboard
We <3 Pop
Alternative Press

Possible other sub-genres:

Rap
Pop
Classical

Rap:
+ There is a variety of ways the genre could be portrayed in a front cover, such as having a
layout/colour scheme that shows the genre clearly.
+ Rap has connotations of freedom meaning I would have a lot of freedom when designing the front
cover.
- Personally I have limited knowledge on rap music so it will be difficult for me to interpret this into
my own magazine
- The freedom could make the magazine look messy and unprofessional.
Pop
+ I have personal knowledge on pop music easier to incorporate this into the magazine cover.
+ Large readership; pop music magazines have a large target audience and are appealing to a range
of people mainly teenage girls.
- The pop genre is constantly changing and has many artists in the industry regularly.
- People are influenced by the pop industry in many ways and depending that is featured on the
magazine, depends who buys the issue.
Classical
+ Usually, classical music would have a more mature target audience meaning the target audience
would be a wider variety.
+ Can have a simple colour scheme/layout and it would not affect the readership.
- I have no interest in classical music; therefore this genre would be difficult for me to do a magazine
for.
- As far as I am aware, Classical music is not a dominant subgenre for music and would have the
magazine be less successful as a pop or rock magazine.
