Investigating The Market

To create my own magazine i needed to understand the normal conventions of a magazine so I looked at other magazines and their websites that are similar to my own such as:

• nme
• kerrang
• scuzz
  

Looking at these gave me an idea of what i could do that would look professional. It also help me to figure out my target audience as mine would be roughly the same, i found that music magazines in general tended to be targeted at teenagers or young adults 16- 20. Music magazines such as rock tend to try an show that life is for living and that your not alone which is why it appeals to so many teenagers because they can relate to the meaning in the songs and therefore the magazines. i found this census information on sites like abc and nrs.
