Music genre has a big influence on the design and style of the magazine, e.g if your doing a rock magazine you'd expect black and more darker colours to be shown in the magazine, however not all rock magazines follow these conventions it depends on the audience for example "Kerrang" which we were introduced in class by Ms Burn, uses bright blues and yellow which give off a rebellious aura as the audience is young people.So to relate to our findings I decided to find 3 different magazines and anaylse what the colours represent and the focus audience the marketer was aiming for.
A country Magazine
A KPOP Magazine
From my research I found that indeed music genre does influence the style of the magazine, but also that the designer will take several things into consideration e.g what the artists are wearing with the colours used in the magazine, and making sure they harmonize well and don't clash. I also noticed that magazines tend to use 2-3 colours on their magazine e.g "K-POP GIRLS" uses pink and grey and "Country Weekly" uses yellow,white and orange. Overall I have learnt that that I will neeed to take several things into consideration when planning my magazine.
