Audience Research
The genres that i have chosen to work with are quite interesting and not as common. Indie pop in particular is a type of music that is filled with ideologies,more melodic and less aggressive as oppose to other genres such as R&B/Rap. This makes it interesting, it is typically most attractive when in a certain mood, the lyrics are almost always meaningful and open to interpretation by its listeners. These genres work well together and most artists such as Lana Del Rey, Banks or The Weeknd fit in all three. It is hard to separate as using aspects of all three genres create the perfect tone for the audience.
The artists that i have focused on specifically are Banks, Lana Del Rey and Lykke Li. For my magazine i want to create something which reflects the personalities of all three music icons.This will allow my magazine to appeal to a much larger target audience as all three "fan bases" will unite. Each artist is very particular and unique, they are very different to the other artists that may hold more fame in the industry today. However their audiences stay loyal and dont expect any less from their idols. Their differences is easily seen in the sort of clothes they wear, how their make up is done, their tattoos and hairstyles. Yet they all have something that makes them all easily noticeable and recognised. Though appearance wise they may seem different, all three artists share extraordinary talent in which is easily recognised again via their music. The songs they personally write are mainly due to personal suffering and experiences. This allows their admirers to be able to relate to them and build relationships with the artists. Many fans rely on their music to stay "Sane" this contributes to the themes and ideas that will run through my music magazine.
The fashion sense that these artists share is very unique. They easily appeal to a younger female audience whom may dress the same way. Black is a very common colour that is used very often within these type of outfits. The use of black has connotations which relate to the artists work.This consistent colour scheme of black,white and reds will also run through my magazine to blend all three artists together. Black is a dark colour which usually suggests fear of the unknown,mystery, evilness and elegance. This is mirrored in the lyrics used, the themes of their songs and the hidden messages given out to the audience.This is also done with the hairstyles they usually style themselves with, the use of dark eye shadows or iconic eyeliners, sometimes even dark lips. Overall the artists allow their audiences to then imitate them and allow them to relate to their personalities aswell as their work. This is of high significance to the audience as they are more willing to keep being a part of the fan base as there is a level of interactivity going on and they are being shown appreciation and love.
