My Genre

'Genre' is a way of categorising a particular type of media according to its contents. For example the different genres within music magazines are Electronic Dance music within mixmag, Rock music within Kerrang, Classic Rock and Q and finally Indie/Indie Rock within NME and Mojo.

My chosen genre of music for my music magazine is house/electronic dance music. I have chosen this genre because its the one I listen to the most and have the most interest in.
The magazine that relates closely to my genre is Mixmag. NME have a variety of artist in there magazine and some house/electronic dance artist have featured in there before.

Who can I include?  
  • Marc Kinchen
  • Kove
  • Huxley
  • Shenoda
  • Hardwell
  • Dusky
What can I include?
  • Interviews with the artists
  • Reviews on albums/singles
  • Up coming festivals
  • House events
  • New artists
  • Fan page
In cooperating 'star image'

These kind of artists don't have a very distinctive look about them however indie artists do. House artists dress very casual for example this is a picture of London due disclosure:




They are wearing casual clothing such as t-shirts or jumpers and the man on the left is wearing a woolly hat which has become popular which young teenagers. The example below is of American DJ MK: 




Marc Kinchen is wearing a black t-shirt and a black cap. his outfit is very plain and casual just left the photo above. This is something that these artist seem to have in common. 
The artist that are on the front covers of the mixmag magazines that I analysed are also dressed in very simple, casual clothes.

An extreme example of 'star image' is Lady GaGa. She purposely wears certain outifts to gain media attention to be able to sell more music. A famous dress she wore is the meat dress which gained a lot of press. However Lady GaGa does not create music of my chosen genre so I will not include her style in my photos.
