In the music industry, there are hundreds of different genre's. Some can even be referred to with more than one name. Music magazine's tend to cut these genre's down, and there are not as many. However, there are still tons. Music magazine genre's include:
An example of a music magazine with an R&B theme are the Vibe magazines which feature artists including Kanye West, Usher, Chris Brown, Eminem, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and many more.
The Kerrang! magazine focuses on the rock genre of music and includes bands such as Green day and Biffy Clyro.
The Q Magazine focuses on selection of genre's and artists such as Oasis, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z can be found in it.
The genre i will be choosing for my coursework covers a selection of the ones stated above. It will be on 'Chart music' that includes all of the up and coming, latest and most popular songs and artists in the charts. The charts can include any genre of music, however it tends to mainly feature electronic, rock and pop, rap and hip hop, and r&b and soul types of music. An example of a similar based and very popular magazine are the 'Billboard magazines'. The Billboard brand is built on its exclusive charts and unrivaled reporting on the latest news, issues and trends across all genres of music. It is a very popular and successful magazine that sees thousands of customers every issue. At the end of the course, i hope for my magazine to look of a similarity and professional standard as to that of Billboard magazine.
Above are images of the official Billboard logo that features a very creative colour code, font and style and an example of a Billboard magazine that features American Hip Hop collectives Odd Future (OFWGKTA) from Los Angeles, California on the front of it. Odd Future fall under the genres of Alternative Hip Hop or R&B.
