Genre and Target Audience - Coursework


Genre and Target Audience

 

The genre for my music magazine will be punk rock, including metal, emo, scream etc. It is aimed mainly at teenagers who are interested in alternate music, instead of the more popular top 40. I will use a range of features to appeal to this target audience, for example, the house colours, fonts, style, layout, the captions and the magazine name. I will advertise tour dates for solo artists and bands (I will come up with the names of these myself). There will be a number of photos, one main one on the front cover, and another main one on the double page spread, as well as some others. Perhaps I will include a Q and A interview for part of the double page spread, either as the main article or as a side feature, this will be advertised on the front page and be in the contents page. I will do an album review (also of which I will have come up with a name for) on the double page spread, which will also be advertised on the front page and in the contents page. The style within my magazine shall be strongly punk rock, including tartan prints, anarchy symbols, mod symbols, bricolage and grunge like fonts. This will reinforce the punk rock genre and appeal to the target audience of my magazine.
