I have looked at some youtube videos if popular bands/artists that aren't really mainstream but have the reputation within the genre of my magazine that I can use as inspiration for the look of my magazine from how there videos look and there style. There are ways I could incorporate this into my contents page through font, colour schemes and choices of layout.
I have read articles/interviews with artists from these types of musicians and related that to how I would want to present my artist in my double page spread. The type of questions that would be found in a professional magazine interview. Here are some examples of music and interviews that has helped my understanding of genre conventions (copy the link into your internet search bar):
I have also looked at album and single covers and looked at how they have used imagery and font to depict how they are as a group or solo performer. I common trait I found was that the artists are often not on the covers, unlike pop music where the 'artist' is revealing themselves, indie artists instead shy away and find interesting, interpretive and inspiring artistic covers that are very visual. If they are on the covers it's usually in black and white. I have tried to find as many clear artist examples here:
I will feature singer/songwriters or cover artists who make the song 'their own' by changing the tempo, key and overall tone of the song, as my chosen people to feature. Examples of these types of songs/music are similar too:
I'm really inspired by people's talents and their modety about it, I am using my friend Eloise as one of my models because her music is what I want my magazine to be about. Here is her soundcloud link:
I deconstucted a double page spread like this example I found online here:
I made a VoxPop asking some music fans about what they would want out of a magazine of my genre. I filmed and edited the whole thing using a basic software on my laptop.
