A music magazine is a magazine that is completely dedicated to music and all about the music culture! They will inform readers

of all news happening in the music world e.g. upcoming singers or giving you

stories/information on famous singers, bands etc and  interviews, photo shoots.

As different people all have different tastes in music there are a range of genres of

magazines to suit each person individually, for example; Indie, Pop and Dance.

What is a music magazine?

POP Magazines…• A pop magazine is the complete

opposite of Indie. Pop is a very popular type of music, the magazines usually use light

colours, pinks and purples etc! Their normal target audience is teenagers who aspire to be like

pop stars so this is why pop magazines will include

gossip, information about pop stars, posters etc. Also

being a popular type of music that will generally mean the

magazine will be popular so they are typically on glossy paper, high quality paper. Here is an example of a Pop Magazine;

Dance magazines …This Dance magazine mainly follows the conventions of a magazine, such

as, it has one model on the front cover who is looking at the camera,

it has a barcode, a masthead and cover lines. The magazine is also about clubbing which we can tell from what the girl is wearing and how she presenting her style with

the handbag and the dog!This magazine cover has not

followed some conventions as well! For example the model is not from the wait us but from the knees up

which actually makes her look slightly photoshopped, also the set

of decks behind the model looks wrong, it looks very out of place.

Indie magazines…Indie magazines are

magazines that obviously are about Indie music. The

word Indie comes from Independent music

artists, because of this the magazines are normally

quite dark, they use reds and black colours and are on rough paper instead of

glossy posh paper. The example of a indie

magazine has only got one picture on the front cover which is what most Indie

magazines will have!
