I have researched a number of different music magazines to find the similar conventions between them but also to try and find what music magazine genre I would like to use.....
The rolling stones magazine is one my favourite magazines I have researched due to its lay out and how it doesn't have a set genre. The idea of not having a set genre is appealing but also seems quite diffcult. By not having a set genre I have a wider demographic to aim for but also with not having a set genre I can not just aim it at a set genre and show how I have used my magazine to attract my demographic.
The Q magazine also caught my attention by not having a set genre. I also liked the simple lay out and easy colour scheme. I also really liked how the make up on the cover star fitted in with the colour scheme.
I'm really intrested in creating a magazine simular to Q, NME and Rolling Stones. I know this may be diffcult to achieve as I wouldn't have a set genre but I'm willing to take a challenge.
