I chose these types of photos to take so that they fit in with the music magazine well. The bottom photo especially shows a indie/rock feel to it and does on my magazine also.
These types of photos shows of what the audience is like because the photos are showing young and good looking people in them and that's what most audience want to see, as well as their favourite artist. I wanted a lot of different shots for my magazine and I got some shots sat down, stood, looking away and looking towards the camera. This gives the audience a feeling of connection with the artist.
I created this magazine for 16-30 year olds that are into rock and indie music such as arctic monkeys and the rolling stones. It has everything that needs to be in a magazine and shows everything that that age group would like to see in a magazine like this.
My magazine would tell you that the audience for it is young and up to date with new music. Listening to radio stations such as radio1. I used ideas so that they would stand out in my audiences mind by adding onto the front cover badges and updates about new albums and posters and also tours. This would attract an audience because they always want to know about what is new and out.
I've tried to target my audience by the images and also articles which have a range of gigs and shoots of gigs and shots. It keeps the audience interested by having articles and reviews about gigs, festivals and the bands involved. Also every week, there is one main big article about a new band and makes them the focus and they have a double page spread about them which I have created.
The people that would read this type of magazine would be stereotyped to look Indie and Mosher like. Yet alternative dress and personalities would read and listen to this type of thing. Most of these people would be seen as crazy and up for a laugh as they don't care about what people think of them hence why there are alternative to others. Depending on what they are listening to as the music in this magazine is different all the time, would show their outlook on life.
Who are the people that listen to this music? - Known as the indie people of society, who wear alternative clothing and older clothes, vintage. They listen to anything to do with Arctic Monkeys to Tom Odell, they are different people than people such as ' chavs'. BBC states that these type of people have low self esteem, not gentle, creative and aren't hard working. Which would really be correct for most of that. However, most indie people like to just smoke and have fun.Indie music. What is it about ?
The meaning of the term "indie rock" is contested today by many musicians, fans and commentators. Some use the term "indie" to describe any rock music produced by artists working within the network of independent record labels and underground music venues that emerged in the United states and elsewhere in 1980s and 1990s. Others see indie rock as a distinct genre of rock music with a specific artistic aesthetic, and care less about the context in which it is made. Many embrace both meanings of the word, believing that the aesthetics of the genre and its means of production are deeply intertwined.
Indie rock artists are known for placing a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, releasing albums on independent record labels and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, airplay on independent or college radio stations and, in recent years, the internet for promotion. However, in the 2000's many acts with a musical style identified as "indie" signed to major record labels or their subsidiaries, and began promoting themselves through more traditional media outlets. This has led to a further blurring in the meaning of the term.
There music is a lot darker than pop for example. They enjoy a smoke and a festival.
Their events would be a lot of drugs, drink and sex.
The videos are always darker toned.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPES OF MUSIC THAT
INDIE PEOPLE LISTEN TO AND WHAT MY MAGAZINE WAS REACHING OUT FOR.
