6. Do you read music magazines? If so, which ones?
As most of my friends are from norway there where few who read some english music magazines but the responses i got was basically just NME, Q, Kerrang! or Mojo. Which is all of the magazines (except mojo) i did textual analysis of and gathered information and inspiration from.
7. What are you connotations to indie pop? Do you like this type of music, why/why not?
The connotations to indie didn't give much response but those who answered said things like to be free, bohemian feeling to it, love and festivals.
Some said they liked Indie because it wast so mainstream, which is totally true, indie music is very independent and some would even say a bit strange. Some say they like the lyrics which often can be filled with hat, love, sorrows and different types of moods that could match your own.
The music is funky and fresh, not like sellout music like Pitbull and David Guetta etc. The indie pop artist use more groovy rythms, more talented and are better live preformers that other "radio" artist or band. As well as Indie music can put you in a good mood.
8. Who is your favourite Indie pop artist? Why?
The answers i got back contained of one that was especially repeated though out the answers which was The kooks. Followed by florence and the machine, the shins, Two Door Cinema Club and Kings of Convenience, Arctic Monkeys, Miike Snow, The xx, Vampire weekend, Crystal fighters and The Smiths.
Again it is the rhythm and the instruments that attracts people to this music genre.
9. What would you like to read about in a music magazine?
Mostly people answered album revision, what's the new and hottest music, top 20, upcoming albums and concerts, tours, concerts, festivals, interviews with bands and artist, articles and features about new bands and artists, themed photo shoots, gossip about artist and bands, why the artist make that kind of music but also tutorials for beginners in this genre, which is smart as it could lead to attract a wider range of people by introducing them really to the genre.
10. How should a front cover for a music magazine look to attract your interest?
The answers summed up, they though that it's important that the photo is a good a photo, quite simple but strong. Also consist of some artist or bands name etc so the reader will know what to expect to read about. A big and rememberable headline so they will instantly know which magazine it is. Some effect to draw attention to the magazine, like a attractive cover line or a photo of a famous person.
Concluding that the reader would ant a simple design, but one eyecatching element (model, title, photo etc).
