The brief I have been set is to start my own independent research into current music magazines in order to help me construct my own music magazine. I will gather a variety of front covers, contents pages and double page spreads which i will analyse and comment on their codes and conventions.
My magazine will follow the traditional codes and conventions which include a main image, sky line, buzzwords etc on the front cover. I will closely analyse the language and register used on the magazines i have found through my research therefore i will know what will appeal to my target audience.
The genre i aspire my music magazine to be is 'pop' as i have an interest in the genre and am a fan of many pop artists. I feel i have an in depth knowledge of the genre which i can hopefully portray in my magazine. Pop has a broad audience not a niche such as 'hard rock' therefore i know their is a broad target audience who my my magazine will appeal to.
The music magazine i decided to analyse closely were Q, NME, We love pop and Top of the pops i choose theses in particular as two of them are my chosen genre but the other two are different genres including indie and rock. I chose a variety which in can then compare and contrast all of their features.
