- 1. Out of the two main publishing houses in the uk, Bauer media
and IPC, I think IPC is better suited and would be more likely to
distribute my magazine; this is on the basis that they have two
already existing music magazines originally based on the rock/indie
genre, which is the genre I tried to represent in the design and
content of my magazine. Although UNCUT magazines target audience is
aimed at the older generation and people who grew up with or listen
to 70s/80s rock, NME is aimed at a much younger generation like my
own, 16-24 year olds. I would also say that like my own, the two
magazines are aimed at a male audience simply because the genre
they represent is a lot more orientated around that gender.
2. I also feel that the design of my cover fits well with their
message, especially NME, because of the simple yet effect layout;
though my magazine isnt an exact replica of NME it has its
similarities, like the placing and bold style of the masthead, the
style of layout in terms of cover lines, the bands featured and the
style of writing in their articles is rather similar to mine with
its narrative format, yet it is relatable to younger audiences with
the language used.
