Rock

I have chosen to base my music magazine on the genre 'Rock'. I like this particular genre, because it is a popular music genre and the most listened to by the younger generation as well as the older generation. The two main elements of Rock are the use of bright colours and props, such as, a guitar. Lots of people from the younger and older generation would want to buy my music magazine, because it a very commonly known music genre, it has also developed throughout the years, by bringing in new artists who have a complete different edge when they sing. Also, I think it would be a good genre to base on my music magazine, because I am able to use lots of colour, images, big and bold texts etc. which can easily relate to the genre and for the target audience to quickly recognise and without them getting confused with any other genres.
