Music Magazine Mastheads

Music Magazine Masthead Ideas

The Music Magazine that I am going to produce is named Broken Record. This is the name I have chosen because the genre of the magazine is going to be popular music which is played constantly time after time by many people like a broken record, which people tend to enjoy. I will redefine the negative connotations of the magazines name. The magazine will be vibrant and entertaining for readers and could include many features like interviews with mainstream artists, reviews on songs and upcoming music events. The magazine will be unique because I know what the target audience of teenagers would like in a music magazine and a general understanding of what the age range of mid 30’s like. Therefore, I will include features in which will attract them.

Moodboard for Artists/Bands Featured

Above are similar artists that I wish to take inspiration from to be included in my magazine. This is because all of the artists produce a different style of music but are popular to the public eye. They fit in with the pop magazine as they are popular artists and most people like there music. They also are in the charts most popular and bring there own sense of style that my target audience may want to take inspiration from. For example, Kanye west is an amazing artist with his own brand image that most people are able to buy. With this his music is also very popular and himself and the family that he has married into. The artists above are known by my target audience of 15-35 year olds for both girls and boys which many people idolise and are fans of.

Classical Music Magazine Analysis (different genre)

I analysed a classical music magazine as it provides me with features that differ from a pop magazine. I found that my music magazine would be different from this as the target audience is very different to mine therefore features on this magazine would be different and appropriate for them. Compared to this magazine I would like my masthead to be bolder and bigger like billboard magazine. I would like only one image on the cover with cover lines instead of smaller images as I think it looks more professional and appropriate for my target audience. Also because I want the main feature to be the most important image on the page. Over all I would take little inspiration from this magazines due to that fact that the two genres of music clash and are promoted in different ways with different texts and features.
