After some research into popular music magazines, I have decided that my chosen music genre would be electro, though more specifically chiptune. I have chosen to do this because of the lack of magazines revolving around this genre, as well as my own personal liking for it. Because of my choice, I will be focusing all of my research on magazines that fit the electro genre (of all kinds, including dance music, dubstep, video game music etc.) as well as analysing the typical genre conventions around it and choosing suitable aspects to eventually include in my own magazine.
My main article is going to be about "The Music of Homestuck" which will be covering the amount of artists, albums and songs that are used in the collaborative project, all across the internet. This is going to be a brilliant subject of focus, especially because I'm going to a meetup for fans of Homestuck soon, and so will be able to take a lot of photographs for my cover and for the double page spread.
I intend to experiment with a lot of potential shots and photos, but I also intend on photographing in a safe environment.
The audience that I intend to release this magazine to is most likely radical hedonists, who like to break norms and are interested in things others may not be. Perhaps they are a little stuck in the past, and indulging their lost childhood with old video games and music that reminds them of when they didn't know the world sucked. I also suspect the age range to be from 16-25, maybe pushing it in some scenarios. People outside of this barrier would probably label the older fans as "big kids."
