The next step for my media studies coursework is to create a music magazine to go on sale to the general public. There are many things to consider with a music magazine i.e.
- Who is the magazine aimed at? (Target Audience)
- What type of music will be featured in the magazine? (Content)
- How do publishers attract customers to buy their magazines? (Appeal)
My own knowledge of music magazines is that the design tends to be focussed around the age group that is aimed at, e.g. Kerrang magazine is aimed at 16-24 year olds and therefore features a range of colours and cool fonts to make the reader want to pick it up, whereas a magazine such as Mojo or Q tends to use duller more serious images and fonts in order to both attract to their audience of 24-40 year olds and also represent the content inside.
