Music Magazine Reseach










Here I have looked into the different types of music genres and looked into two main genres which are classic rock and R&B/Urban. These genres are very different, but I have analysed their similarities and differences, for example; the classic rock magazine MOJO relies upon images and information on new songs and Cd's their artists has, where as the R&B magazine VIBE relies more on the stories that can be seen a slightly 'gossip' styled. As well as this I looked into the way each of the genres main magazine covers have made the genre clear and engaging to the reader.
I have learnt that the cover is very important and needs to show clearly the genre in which your magazine is based around. Doing so, by including popular artists that are famously known for that genre, the language connecting to the genre as well as the stories and information included inside, such as interviews with artists, maybe including brands that connect to the stereo-typical readers and connect with the genre.
