research into genre

Before I chosen the indie genre for my magazine , I had a difficult decision to make in which style of music I wanted to cover as I am interested in pop , rock and more. I decided to browse websites online of existing magazines and see if they inspired me to focus on that particular genre. I also had  look on you tube's music section as a way to help me to choose. Below are some of the videos and websites that I researched-

http://classicrock.teamrock.com/ - As I had some interest in rock , I read some of the articles of this magazine , but ultimately I thought that my knowledge was not strong enough to create a full magazine.

http://www.mixmag.net/ - I initially considered making a magazine similar to Mix mag , but decided against this idea as I wanted to stretch myself , having made a dance magazine previously at school.


NME TV advert- This video below is promoting the release of NMETV , and inspired me to make a magazine that I similar as I too wanted to focus on new and upcoming artists.

Mixmag video -Despite not choosing to create a dance magazine , Mixmag's YouTube service inspired me because it is one of the best at promoting the magazine. It is s a big improvement over NME or Qs Youtube coverage , which is lacking .
