Kerrang and NME Magazine

Kerrang and NME magazines are two  of the most successful music magazines out in stores at the moment. I will be closely evaluating these magazines for my final magazine product because I can analyse each code and convention and interpret it for my own. Below is the link for the Kerrang which shows the statics of what gender buy the magazine more and what age range most of the readers are. And beneath that link is another link directing you to the NME statics website.

Intial Ideas

For our AS Media level, we are producing our own music magazine. All our images will be taken ourselves. I've decided to make my magazine genre 'Indie' mainly because, most successful music magazines in the industry now are indie or rock, and to make it easier for myself to get an interview with a local band, there are many indie bands around locally. My genre is also based on magazines I'm interested in such as Q, NME and Mojo magazine, they are all mostly indie but Q is a mix which gives me a good insite on how I should represent my magazine I will produce. Most target audiences for indie magazines are quite youthful, e.g. 16-24 is an estimate, so I will most likely follow in their footsteps.
