There are many different genre's of music in which i could chose to base my magazine on. I will need to think about the type of audience i would like to attract, so i will first of all look at different types of music genres and the type of people who listen to each genre. Also my genre choice will have to have a ast target audience as i want my magazine to be popular. I will need to pick a genre in which i also feel comfortable with producing, simply because i need to know something about the genre in which i have choen to respresent in my magazine.
These are a few different genre's in which i researched into that i could use for my magazine.
Punk/Rock/Modern Rock
Audience- The target audience for this genre of music are young adults/teenagers(students). This genre of music appeals to this age range as this music is usually about everyday issues and situations which people can relate to. Both male and female enjoy this genre of music which is why i think it is a good idea to maybe choose this genre for my music magazine.
Style-The style of this music is usually quite heavy, loud and has a strong beat/rhythm. This genre does not really give you a happy feeling when listening to it. This is simply because the songs are usually about problems/issues.
Things i would consider if i used this genre-As this magazine would be for a rock/punk audience i would need to think about the house colour style. I think that the main colours i would use would be BLACK as it repreents darkness, power,evil and death. Black would be a good colour as it would again represent isues and problems like the songs usually represent also i would use RED which symbolises danger, style, energetic, romance and daring. Again like black the meaning which red symbolises ould contrast well with the style of music. Good colours for this style would be dark colours with white text to stand out from the backgound colours,dark colours would be best suited for the mood of this music genre and they would represent the ttyle of this genre well.
Pop
Audience-The audience for this genre ranges from young children to students usually girls like this type of music. Although this genre may apply to older adults its target audience is young teenagers/students. Again the reasoning for this is that the songs are usually about love, relationships and going out with friends. Pop music is usually upbeat and happy and catchy which makes people want to listen to it. Also a lot of the songs people can relate to as the songs are aboutlove and relationships usually.
Style-The stle of this genre is usually quite technological, most of the music is made on a computer and the oice has usually been autotuned to make it sound better.
Things i would consider if i used this genre-Pop music has a very wide ranged audience from very young children to adults. This genre would be a good choice as there are very few pop genre based magazines out there at the moment and its quite suprising as this genre is one of the most popular genre's out there.The masthead choice for this genre could be something quite big round maybe quite bubbly contemporary looking, futeristic lettering. The colours that you would use for your house colour theme could be anything really. As pop is quite a happy catchy genre the colours can be bright and bold to match this style. So colours such as black and grey would not be suitable as they connate different meanings. Colours like yellow, red, green and blue would be suitable as like the music is catchy the magazine needs to look catchy and stand out to a potential buyer of the magazine.

Indie
Audience- This genre is targeted at young teenagers/students. This genre is usually preffered by male but some females do also listen to this genre. I feel that this genre might be quite difficult to use for my magazine as it is a popular genre but i think that i arent as familiar with this genre as i am others which may make it harder for me to produce. Style-The style of this music is quite similar to punk/rock but not quite as heavy and loud. Usually this genre uses the same sort of instruments as rock e.g. drums, guitar, lead singer and bassist. I'd say that indie music sounds more relaxed and layed back, much more so than rock music.
This genre of music is usually about everyday things such as going to work, seeing friends, relationships and friendships, i think that the songs dont really reflect a mood like sadness or happyness there just layed back songs which tell you about their everyday life really.
Things i would consider if i used this genre-I would need to think about my house colour theme, as this is quite a layed back genre quite relaxing to listen to, i think that i would choose colours such as cream, beige and black and white to reflect this. I think that those colours dont really reflect many moods or feelings which would be suitable for this genre, also they are relaxing to look at with your eyes which also reflects the type of music in which it would be communicating. Another reason i would chose those colours would be that its meant to be an individual music type and no other magazines use these colours so it would stand out from the rest of the magaziens on the shelves. I think that my masthead choice for thisgenre would be something quite big but very simple in thin lettering maybe to again reflect the simpleness of the genre and the feeling of being layed back. i dont think that a bold brash font would look suitable as it would not match the music style.
Classical
Audience-This genre of music is for a safisticated taste in music which means its usually older people or wealthy people who appreciate this genre of music more so than young adults. This is probably the only genre which is not targeted at young adults simply because of its safistication. I think that one of the reasons it is said to be a safisticated music genre are the musical instruments used. All of the instruments used in this genre are classical instruments, the instruments that were created before any other which many people find are much more interesting and enjoyable to listen to than the new instruments we find in pop music and bands today.
Style-The style of this music is very calming and relaxing and is usually played as background music as it creates a good atmosphere. Many of the classical singers sing in itallian or another language which we associate with opera. The singers usually perform in a large theatre or a church as this type of music is also associated with religeon because many classical singers sing religeous hymms at christmas and easter.
Things i would consider if i used this genre-I would need to think about my house colour style. A deffinate colour i would use for this genre would be red, as it symbolises wealth and royalty and as this was one of the first genre of music created. The Royal family have listened to this genre of music since it began. Also i would maybe use gold as this again symbolises wealth and safistication which links with the style of music. I would also use black because it would tie in with the colour of the musical notes in which the musicians play as the background music for the singer. I think that this would be quite hard to produce in a magaine as it is not preffered by the majority of people simply because its out of date and old fashioned.
