Summary of Research into existing Magazines

After researching into existing magazines, I can see how current magazines target their audience effectively, and how front covers, contents and double page spreads are done in real magazines. I now also know current music trends and what is covered in magazines. By exploiting a gap in the market, I will lean towards less covered sub genres such as Ska and Hardcore while still covering major bands. My audience is within the 15-23 age category, and very similar to that of Kerrang. My audience will be those who enjoy less mainstream rock and metal but still within the accepted mainstream.
I also know I will produce my magazine as if I would be distributing through a major company which has a national audience.
