Semiotic analysis of 3 Music Magazines

Hello!

After creating our school magazine for the preliminary tasks, we now have to carefully think of planning and creating our actual magazine. For the next step, we are asked to analyse 3 music magazine which closely relates to the genre of our music magazine.

The first magazine I decided to analyse is the Billboard magazine and its genre is a mix of pop & rnb. The reason behind this is because I am planning to set this genre as the genre for my magazine.















The second magazine I analysed is the Q magazine. Its genre is mainly focuses on rock/pop music. The reason why I chose this is because it is one of my top 3 choices for my magazine.

For my final magazine, I decided to change it and analyse a classical music magazine. 


I learned that there are a lot of codes and conventions that make up a genre of magazine and how it will attract their target audience.













Overall, I have learnt that each genre of magazine has certain codes and conventions that are relevant in order to distinguish the genre. Most importantly, I have an understanding on what I would want (and is relevant) to my desired genre of magazine. However, I did like some aspects from  the last two magazines that I could possibly incorporate in my own magazine, such as the facial expressions and engaging language.
