Bauer media I would chose Bauer Media to publish my magazine

because Bauer Media is popular among publishing rock magazines such as Kerrang, Q, and Mojo which I based my magazine ‘Keruption’ on when I was producing it.

Magazines that inspired my magazine

Magazines that inspired my magazine were most rock based magazines popular among music magazines. These included rock magazines such as Kerrang, Q, Rock sound, Classic Rock, NME, Rolling Stone, Mojo, Revolver and Metal Hammer. When producing my magazine I looked at the codes and conventions of each of these rock genre magazines to make sure my magazine consisted of the expected conventions of magazines of a rock style.

Similarities between my magazine and others

The similarities between my magazine and other rock based magazines were the codes and conventions I had looked at while planned and then producing my magazine. These conventions consisted of masthead, cover lines, cover star, puffs, colour scheme, tag line, skyline and banners. I looked at the colour scheme and layout that each rock magazine had used and used similarities to my production work so that it would also represent the rock genre.

Where would my magazine be bought?

My magazine would be able to be bought in places such as newsagents and supermarkets. I also would like my magazines to be sold online on stores such as ‘Grindstore’ or shops in local towns such as ‘Pulp’ that sell merchandise, clothes and magazines of a rock based style. This would make my magazine more known and popular and my magazine would be able to sell more.

Why would my magazine be bought there?

I would sell my magazines there because it is common for magazines to be sold at places such as newsagents and supermarkets so it would be easier for my target audience to find my magazine and buy it. I also wanted my magazines to be sold on rock based websites as it would be possible to where my target audience would discover and take an interest to my magazine and buy it.
