Magazine Research and Analysis

Magazine Research and Analysis

For my coursework I was set the task of researching and analysing existing music magazines. These magazines had to be of different genre e.g. Rock, Pop or Indie Music.
I had to annotate different features of the magazine covers such as the Masthead and main image and comment on which sort of audience this magazine would appeal to.
Below is my research and analysis of the magazine covers of different styles:

 Above is Rolling Stone magazine which is Rock and Roll music. This Magazine would appeal to both Men and Women aged between 20-40 due to the content and musical style.

 I next looked into Heavy metal Music which is featured in Kerrang Magazine. The specific audience would be mainly for Men aged between 16-30 who liked Rock music.

Mizz Magazine is a different music magazine which is targeted at Young Teenage Girls due to the pink colour scheme. The genre for this music Magazine would feature chart Pop Music.

Finally NME magazine would also have an audience of Men and Women aged 20-40. The genre would be both pop and rock music. It also includes new music hence the magazine Masthead (New musical Express).
