My chosen genre

The genre which I have chosen for my music magazine is 'pop' as you can see above I have posted some pictures that are typically associated with pop from the 00's and who are current at this moment in time. I personally believe there is a great market for a pop music magazine because the majority of radio stations play chart music is classically recognised with pop music. Even though I personally am not a great fan of pop music I still think that with all my research I could make a representative pop music magazine as the layout will stick to a traditional conventional features that most magazines have. 


From the images i have posted you can tell that they are associated with poop because of the way that they pose and the clothes that they wear, as the tend to smile in their photos and wear bright clothes or be identified with bright colours. Comparing pop to rock you can identify both genres as rock images are usually dark and tend to also wear dark clothing as well as not smiling and having long hair to link to their genre. Below I have posted some images that show the contrast between genres. 

Here is a typical rock band 'Guns N Roses' as I mentioned above they are wearing dark clothing and the lighting is also dark creating a certain atmosphere, and there poses show they are not smiling and stand in way that makes them look rebellious. 

Here is a pop duo 'Icona Pop' in contrast to the the rock image above the colours are bright and bold and there poses and totally different as they they look more friendly and fun, also the shot is more of close up then a mid close which is shown in the rock image, so that you do not see there stance.
