Research Music Magazines And Conventions.

The Wire is a British music magazine founded in 1982, initially concentrating on contemporary Jazz has branched out and has recently covered hip-hop, modern classical, free improvisation, post rock and various forms of electronic music. Not sticking to the usual characteristics of other music magazines, for example where most music magazines would have little writing and more photography The Wire confronts their audience with near essay long interviews and articles. The font for their magazine is bold and simple, the colour scheme is a combination of dark and light, with deep shades of grey and with black and white. The contrast in colour is unusual compared to most magazines to which have brighter colours this is because they're magazine is aimed a more mature audience, to which would appreciate the simplicity of the magazine. 

The Clash is popular music and fashion magazine and website based in the UK founded in 2004. The magazine alternates between modern bands such as Jamie xx and Florence & The Machine as well as hip-hop artists like Tyler The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and Kanye West. Similar to the Wire the masthead is bold and simple. But unlike the main image for the Wire which is dark and the page is split to add two images. Clash is bright and with model in the photo, with pastel coloured hair and matching make-up this is because they're are of a different genre which shows. They are aimed at a different audience, where Clash look for modern bands to display it means that they're audience is younger so brighter colours would be found more attractive.
