Investigating the market

Market research into types of magazine sold at WhSmiths

Name of magazine
Genre
NME
Rock
Kerrang
Rock
BBC Music magazine
Classical
Mixmag
Dance
Echoes
Mobo
Vibe
Hip hop
Q magazine
Rock
Uncut
Rock
Rolling Stone

I have decided to go with a dance genre for my magazine becasue there isn't many being published. Also there is a gap in the market for this type of magazine because there is a big following of this music.

These magazines feature indie/rock music which are aimed at an teenage/young adult audience. Most of the magazines feature this type of front cover with a band and front person closest to the camera and the rest of the band behind. However in my magazine i wanted to have a different take on mine, with just a solo person on front.
