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.
