Main task - Magazine research



 These are a range of current music magazines I have looked at in order to find a suitable style model for my music magazine. they cover a variety of different genres and all use different conventions.

The magazine I have decided to use as my main influence is kerrang, the target audience for kerrang is 60% male, 40% female and mostly has a readership of white british D-C class citizens who are 15-24 year olds, the precise percentage is 69.5%. The magazine’s psychographic is defined as ‘people who aspire to be respected among other people and people who wish to have a high paid job.’
 I have chosen kerrang because I am part of kerrang's target audience therefore I will know which things to include, such as genres of music and type of clothing worn by artists/bands. It will also make it easier to arrange the conventions of the magazine because I am familiar with the arrangements of kerrang magazine.

Preliminary task photos

I took around 30 photos for my preliminary task, some I have discarded because they didn't meet the criteria for the preliminary task, i have selected two photos to use for my coursework.


The two above photos are photos I discarded because they didn't use the rule of thirds and the angles were not interesting enough















Preliminary task

This is my finished preliminary task, there are several improvements i could make:

  • There is too much space left unused on the right side, this could be solved by making the text more prominent to take up this wasted space.
  • The editing of the photo needs improving, there are rough edges which needed to be cut out
