Magazine Research (Close representations)

Before I get into fully producing my magazine cover I have tried to do as much research into a magazine that is already being produced of the same genre. Unfortunately for myself there is only 1 magazine that is being published around this revolutionary genre, and it is an online magazine.

The genre of my magazine is Electronic Dance Music (EDM) covering all the various genre's of music within the musical society of EDM.

The magazine I have done research into is EDM weekly, this is an online publication featuring big names of the genre, and is published by a self indepent online company of the same name (EDM Weekly) (This also happens to be hosted by two lead members of a big record label who promote the same style music.

The cover is a lot simpler than other magazines, this is for two reasons A) it's an online magazine ( A lot of features aren't needed) and B) the style of music bases itself around technology, so a more stylistic and blocked out font is fitting, along with Logos of musicians.



There is also a nice neat set up for the rest of the pages which include this range of block style fonts and smart placement. this also fits the genre of music.
