Interview Research

In order to make the interview for my double page spread appropriate, I looked up some interviews with the kind of bands who would be featured in my magazine so I would know what knid of questions are asked and what kind of mood there is during the interview.

Here are a few sites I found the interviews on.

My Music Magazine Audience Moodboard

This is my audience music magazine moodboard. They are individuals who can be considered 'emo' or 'scene' because of their clothing style e.g Skinny jeans, dark make-up, volumized hair, body piercings ect. They like to buy expensive things and wear things that will be different to everyone else so they stand out such as the Vans with the watermelon design on them.

They'll have either very dark or very vibrantly coloured hair and like to eat and drink sweet things hence the picture of the lollipops and the starbucks, also the brand names they buy from have to be well known so people know that they have a lot of money.

My target audience will have an online blog so they can express themselves to the world with pictures or just post what they're feeling on websites such as 'tumblr.' They like to watch animated cartoons because the way the characters have been designed captures their attention and entice them into buying books and t-shirts with these characters on them.

Magazine Contents Page Analysis

This contents page is aimed at a more mature, male audience age around twenty two to twenty eight, probably single and are at a working class of C2 or C1, mostly aspirers and a few succeeders. The contents page has three main colours, red; white and black, and the most vibrant colour is the red which makes it not too over powering but there's still a good block of colour there. It has 2 subheadings features and regulars which then are broken down into smaller categories to make finding the section of the magazine the audience wants to read simple. There are six pictures used on here, and the main one is to reinforce the title Drummer, and also so does the picture to the right of the title of the drum kit. There are page numbers in the top left hand corner of the pictures to indicate where they will be found which is a useful feature. Right at the top in the left hand corner is the date that the magazine was released which also is helpful as the audience is able to know how long there is left until the next issue will be released.
