WELCOME TO SYMBALMAGAZINE

HELLO AND WELCOMETO THE SYMBAL

BLOG This is a blog based around the creation of symbal magazine, an alternative

indie rock magazine that covers a wide variety of subgenres in unique and exciting ways. Throughout this blog, you will see a substantial amount of research and planning undertaken prior to the construction of the magazine that analyse the genre, the fashion, the audience, and other magazines themselves. Evidently, at the end of the blog, you will be able to see the final product of symbal magazine, based around the research and planning preceding it. Here’s why i chose the genre...

why indie rock?

In short, because it is potentially my favourite genre of music, and I believe it is important to be well familiarised with the genre the magazine will be based around – it can give a distinct advantage in terms of using conventions and artists. However, the reason why SYMBAL does not just cover indie rock but its various subgenres and alterations as well is because it would allow me to create something unique. I have an interest in a huge variety of genres, and therefore it seemed too simplistic and conventional to address just one – why not alternative rock, indie soul, dark wave, electronic rock? It will broaden the target audience as well as suiting my interests and needs.
