Planning. (Genre/Target Audience/Initial ideas)
Ryan Ward.
Identifying my Genre and Target Audience. • My Music magazine will focus on the genres Alternative/Indie,
Punk, and Metal, basically any music that uses general instruments (Vocalist, Guitar, Bass, and Drums).
• My Target Audience will obviously be people who like/listen to the genres of music that I stated above. The magazine will also aim to be for more ‘intellectual’ people, as it will contain a lot more writing than it will ‘fancy’ pictures and large, bright text.
The (specific) Codes and Conventions of a Music Magazine.
Feature Article Photograph – Would most likely be a large image of a band/solo artist that take up the whole of the front cover.
Feature Article – Would most likely be a big, long interview with a band/solo artist.
Other Articles – Tend to be interviews with bands/solo artists, album reviews/previews, concert/tour dates, equipment reviews, competitions, instrument lessons.
Write-in sections – Customers of the magazine send in ‘letters’ and images to be hopefully published in the following issue of the magazine.
Pictures – Tend to be staged and edited.
