My music magazine mainly revolves around post hardcore/rock. This; however, limits the potential target audience for my magazine, it also, in many retrospects increases the potential fan base for a magazine like mine, this is due to an increase in the number of people interested in local, upcoming bands, which again, is a unique selling point to which my magazine revolves around. Much research has been looked into the speculation that a magazine will not gain a large fan base, unless it includes global music affairs, however I have decided to go against the grain of this statement, by keeping my magazine as a mainly promotional magazine, with certified features including other larger bands, relating to playing in smaller venues locally - this attracts a specific type of reader.
The age group I have targetted with my magazine, would be ranging from 17-22. I have stated this throughout my research as I feel people of this age are most likely to be open to the possibility of upcoming bands progressing through a wider fan base. A significant amount of the creation of my magazine, was based around the feedback I recieved throughout the research stages, and then after its completion. I revolve everything I do to do with my magazine, around feedback, as I see it as the most essential part of a magazines success in its bracket.
