Investiagting the Market

At the beggining of the term I did some research into the magazine market to see if there were any other magazines which were attepting the genre of music I was thinking of doing. After looking at several music magazines like NME, Kerrang! and MixMag, I found that these magazines did not give the reader much information about the Britpop scene and new british music. I found that these magazines featured mainly indie, rock, metal and dance music. However, I did look at the magazine Q and I liked how it was set out and wrote. Also, this magazine was the only other magazine which featured mainly british music. I decided that this magazine would mainly aimed at late teens to people in their early forties, this would be because of the content i.e cursing would not be suitable for children.

I did also look at magazines like Plan B, MOJO and Rolling Stone, looking at these helped me in choosing my layout and writing style.
