I have been looking and researching 3 different magazines which have 3 different genres and which are all different in certain ways. The reason for doing this is because it gives me an idea of what genre to choose for when i create my own magazine.
The first magazine I decided to look at is XXL which the genre is rap. I think the audience of this magazine is quite a young audience between the ages of 16-21. The magazine is all about the latest raoppers and rappers lives with features such as latest songs and featured interviews. I would say that the brand identity to the magazine is aimed at students who consider themselves trendy and cool. The image on the front cover also relates to the name of the magazine as he looks quite a broad man who looks like a rapper because of all his chains around his neck.
The second magazine I looked at was called Pop Star which had the genre of Pop music. I think the audience of this magazine is intended for teenagers from the ages of around 10-14 as its all about the pop. The magazine is about the latest popstars and the pop World which instantly relates to manily female teenagers. The brand identity for this magazine is for younger audiences that want mainstream commercial pop acts. These images fit in well on the front cover with the genre as its got young pop stars on which also fits in with the targeted audience.
The final magazine i looked at was called Vibe whos genre is Hip-Hop and R&B. I think the target audience for this magazine is both for males and females between the ages of around 16-21. The main contents of this magazine is different interviews with different artists such as 50 Cent, theres also different posters of the audiences favourite R&B and Hip-Hop artists. I think the brand identity of this magazine is aimed at students who consider themselves trendy and cool.After i researched each of these 3 magazine with different genres it has gave me a clearer idea of what genre to use for my final decision for my magazine.
