Double page spread Deconstruction/Analysis 1


My indie/rock magazine entail ideas - Enrollment Work


My indie/rock  magazine ideas

The target audience for my magazine will be males and females aged from 16-30. I have chosen this age range because similar magazines to my genre, such as NME. I am not aiming it at younger teenagers due to the fact my magazine will be sophisticated by exploring the depths of musicians and music, and not just eye catching and 'fun'. My target audience will have a music taste that mainly consists of bands such as arctic monkeys and imagine dragons.

There are not many magazines that fit into the indie rock genre compared to the amount of magazines that are available for the pop genre. My genre combines the genre of indie music and rock music together to form one genre. This is what makes my magazine unique from others and how it fills the gap of hybrid genre music magazines in the market .I will represent my chosen genre by applying the correct conventions to the visual style of my magazine. These include the representation of the musician and the connotations portrayed. These will allow me to make my magazine unique, but representing the genre correctly.

I am going to make sure there is:

·         A large image taking up the majority of the page

·         bold text over the top of it so that it is clearly visible.

I will represent my genre by having a specific focus on the musician that creates  that genre of music. I have analysed other magazines that are similar to the 'indie rock' genre, and I have gained a perspective of how I can represent aspects of the genre just like these magazines have done as well.
