Media Moodboard

This is my mood board of a collection of famous and talented rock artists

My Genre choice

My genre choice for my magazine is rock, many artists fall under this catergory such as, Arctic monkeys, foo fighters, kings of leon, muse and many more but these bands usually make up the catergory of modern rock however there is many different sub genres that make up rock music for example, alternative, indie, heavy metal, emo, garage, psychedelic and many more. A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer, forming a quartet.Some groups omit one or more of these roles or utilize a lead singer who plays an instrument while singing, sometimes forming a trio or duo. Rock music is a genre of popular music that developed during and after the 1960's it also has its roots in 1940's and 50's due to rock and roll and rythm and blues.



rock and roll was the foundation of rock music in the early 1940's and 50's elvis was a key figure in this and is still today seen as the most popular and successful rock and roll artist to live.

The reason that i have chose this rock genre as it is one of the most popular in music today if not the most popular. I am releasing the magazine in the run up to download and leeds music festivals in the hope of attracting new buyers who will want to read about the upcoming events. Also with the genre being so popular at this moment i feel like i will have a higher chance of achieving success even though there is many successfull magazines already in this genre.

Coursework Research

For my coursework i had the option of using quantative research or qualitive.

Quantative research involves a large amount of data being gathered using such things as questionaires, surveys, statistics and counts of circulation. This is quicker and easier to do that qualitive research it also generally more precise information due to it often being figures that are more fact than opinion the only down fall is that it is less informative and is less exciting to construct compared to say a qualitive interview.

Qualitive research involves interviews and case studies it looks a lot more in depth than quantative research however it can take alot more time to construct. The information is always first hand and you know you can trust it as you have gathered the information yourself and may allow you to dig a little deeper in say an interview compared to a questionaire that are sometimes rushed and not given full attention. The downside being that you are not able to gain as wide of variety in your research as it would simple take to much time.

I have decided to use quantative research for my coursework as it is quicker to use and will give me a wider vareity of information and opinion.
