Interview

For further information and advice on my music magazine. I interviewed an level media student, Yasmin Osman, on thoughts, criticisms and ideas about the ideas on I had for my magazine.
The questions included:

1. What is your opinion on creating an indie rock music magazine?
2. Would you personally buy a indie rock music magazine?
3. What are your opinions on the title 'IRM'? What does it suggest?
4. Have you got any suggestions on what the main features should be based on?
5. Have you got many more suggestions?

My opinion on Indie magazines is a alternative and different idea to typical music magazine ideas. This magazine will need to provide an alternative and unique approach as these types of magazines are extremely different compared to others. However, the idea of creating an indie rock music magazine is a good idea as you can be creative with this magazine and there are many ideas. This idea may be good also because this can relate to many audiences and is a very popular type of music currently.

Personally, my interest in music is very basic and I enjoy chart music. However, from your ideas with you expressed with me, this sounds like this magazine will result extremely well and does sound appealing to me, therefore it may be a possibility that I would a buy a indie rock magazine if it including artists I like or a feature which sounds interesting.

I believe the title 'IRM' is very basic, but it is a very relative idea to the type of magazine that you are creating, as indie rock music magazine have very basic titles. Also, i know how difficult it can be choosing or creating a title for your magazine, therefore I believe this is a good title to use as it sounds like a indie music magazine and would be very recognisable for the audience.

The main feature should be based on a famous indie rock artist as this would be more appealing to the target audience and would possibly sell more copies. The main feature should include something interesting and would stand out to the target audience. The main features also usually include interviews or an exclusive, which you should use within your magazine as this will be more interesting towards the readers.

I have no more suggestions as I believe you have everything in order and have a clear idea of what you want to create within your magazine. Good luck!
