Analysis of music magazine website

 

https://www.rockinon.co.jp/business/publication/magazine?genre=rockinon-japan

Website 1:

Rockin’on Japan’s website houses style that appears minimalistic as it, has very a very limited colour pallet as its main colour scheme is black and white, with a small amount of reddish pink to show what page we are. There is a contact button at the top right of the page, there are no adds however in the news section it shows what their latest news is relating the company, as the host music festivals. There don’t appear to be any socials. The website dose allows you to buy their latest issues of their monthly magazine and some of their older ones as well, it also says what that issue will contain in the description as well as other suppliers where you can buy it from. The target audience appears to be people that like any sort of music (16–25-year-olds possibly).

Website 2:

NME’s website house style appears minimalistic until you click on some of these articles there a lot of adds that pop up, these adds suggest a male audience as there are adverts for watches, bingo and rock bands on there. The website has a black, red and white colour scheme that can further support the fact that the target audience is male. We can see that this website follows the codes and conventions of a magazine website having a masthead, hyperlinks, articles, contact page, socials and (FACEBOOK 954 K followers, Instagram 492k followers, twitter 884.7 k followers, YouTube 398k subscribers, TikTok 146.4k followers and Band Lab 109k followers) where to buy their latest magazine. You could argue that their secondary target audience was women as they have articles on the Bridgerton and boy bands that girls love such as BTS which could target a female audience.
