comparison of two similar magazine covers

the two magazines that i have chosen are VIBE and Kerrang magazine

On the left is a example of part of the music genre that i will be covering in my music magazine. The genre that i am going to be using is Rock / indie music kerrang magazine sells a large amount of magazines , the actual number that they have sold yearly i could not have found becasue i dont have access to that kind of imformation , i did email kerrang but i never got a reply at this time however i will add this if i get one. much later on i discovered on the interent on on average for circulation the magazine sells 43,033 copies of the magazine  kerrang magazine is part of the  Bauer Media Group Institution which is a large German publishing company based in Hamburg, which operates in 15 countries worldwide. Kerrang Magazine is normally full of information about the latest rock music news. This magazine is more suitable for rock music lovers only. The design of the magazine seems to draw people towards it with its bold Masthead that is suitable for the music that is in the magazine the images are of people that are part of the music genre that is inside the magazine, you wouldnt find any other genres in this magazine becasue it is an exclusive magaizine primarly about rock music
On the right is another example of part of the music that i will be using for my magazine , the Magazine on the right is called Vibe The publication predominantly features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers. The magazine's target demographic is predominantly young, urban followers of hip-hop culture if i combine this kind of magazine with the kerrang one then it would be close to what i am trying to go for. Vibe Magazine is the opposite from what kerrang magazine is, it isnt stuck to one type of music it can have R&B hip hop and mainstream music thats in the charts so that it isnt stuck in one area meaning that it appeals to more people.
