Music Magazine Research Reflection

Throughout the research process, my previous posts have covered my exploration of what different kinds of music magazines are really out there on the market and what genres of music they focus on. I found that they have music magazines that cover almost every single genre of music and I discovered what kind of music I would like my own magazine to cover.

In conclusion, I have decided to do a mixed genre music magazine, similar to the Rolling Stone and Q music magazine, aimed at both males and females.

Rolling Stone

Q

I chose to create a mixed music genre magazine because I love a variety of different music types and prefer magazines that cover a wide variety of news about a wide variety of music artists.
Young professionals are who it will mainly be aimed at but it will be suitable for older reader also. The price range will be between £4.00-£4.50 and I have chosen this specific price because it is a little lower than the similar kinds of magazine that have inspired my magazine. This would potentially persuade people to purchase my magazine over a more expensive, similar magazine.

The types of artists that will be featured in my magazine will be very successful established artists as well as more low key artists and bands such as "The 1975" who I believe deserve more publicity and for their music to be heard by a larger scale of people.

I have not yet decided a name for my magazine but it is a work in progress.

My next post will be focusing on Mise en Scene and a general overview on who and what I will be using in my photo shoots.
