Genre Research

When aiming to please a specific target audience through the genre of your magazine, it is important to follow this genre as accurately as possible. For example a rock music magazine will be designed and laid out much differently to that of a celeb gossip magazine. I have researched some pop punk products, such as magazine covers, album covers and photoshoots to compare the features used and include these ideas in my magazine.

 

After looking at some relevant examples of pop punk products in the media industry I can take some similarities from these examples to use in the production of my magazine. Some similarities include the stance of the models/artists, in each example they're represented as powerful and respectable. As well as this the lack of colour is repeated in each one, however some splashes of colour are used to make certain features stand out. By considering some of these ideas used I can make my magazine as professional, as possible as well as making it follow the conventions of its genre.
