Researching Style Models

Researching Style Models

I have research various different magazines to use a my style model I looked at magazines such a Q, Mojo, NME, KERRANG! and many more. I took many things into account when choosing a style model such as the target audience, the layout, readability and the readership.

























Here are an example of some of the magazines that I have been researching to find a suitable style model to fit into my requirements of my target audience of people aged 18-26 and people into indie pop.


Kerrang does not completely fit my target audience it is in the age range as it targets people aged 15-24 which fits into a similar age range as me but it does not target the same people as me. It targets people who are into rock music.

Mojo does not fit my target audience as it targets an older age range than what I am looking to target and also it genre of music its more classic rock and bands such as the Beatles, Radiohead and The Rolling Stones.

NME age group also does not completely fit in with my target audience as it targets people aged 15-24 year olds . But it targets people who are into music such as rock and indie where as I am looking for a magazine that targets people into indie and pop.

Q magazine fits into my target audience as it targets people aged 15-24 which fits in with my age group and also it targets and audience who are interested into pop and also indie music.

Researching Institutions

Researching Institutions

I have recently been researching to find a institution which is suitable to publish my magazine. I have chose to look at two different institutions EMAP, IPC media and BAUER media. I have chosen to not go for EMAP as it does not appeal to the music audience which is my main target audience. I also chose not to go for BAUER media as it already has a few music magazines so it will have competition. Where as I have chosen IPC media as this appeals to the music audience as it publishes the magazine NME but also are a well know institution as it publish a range of magazines.
