Music Magazine Comparrison

The creation of my magazine needed to be thought about through analysing several different genres of magazines and looking into what would sell best on the market today. In order to do this I picked several different genres of magazines looking at how they have pin pointed different audiences in order for their magazine to sell.

I first looked at 'Kerrang' which clearly shows an interest to people who like rock music. Kerrang is one of the biggest selling weekly magazines therefore is a magazine I should look at from a selling point of view. Kerrang revolves around the audience it wants to attract therefore offering competitions and general information telling the audience what they want to know therefore encouraging people to want to buy it as they always know they are in the interest of the people who create the magazine.

I then looked at the magazine 'Vibe' this is also aimed at a particular audience, which seems to be a trend as I look through different magazines which indicates to me that I need to ensure I pick a clarified genre and stick to it to ensure my magazine would sell at its best ability. Using the biggest artists of hip hop music and the right information about whats happening in their life at that point brings the reader in as an interesting headline always interests the reader.

In conclusion to creating my magazine the clear aspects to creating a successful magazine is to always think about the reader and the genre of music you are using in your magazine and what you can do to interest them thinking about what would interest you but also finding out what would interest others therefore you have more than one opinion. Also to always have a selling headline with big artists of that type of music that draws the reader in straight away, ensuring they come back next week top buy more.
