Initial ideas.

The initial ideas for my main tasks are either a Dub step/Trance/Dance music magazine or a Indie/Rock/Pop magazine exclusively for music artists based in or from the UK. To choose I researched into both of these. The first thing I did was to go into my local newspaper shop and see what I could find there. To my surprise none of the magazines specialised in either of my ideas. All of the indie, rock and pop magazines included or where based on American artists and the closest I got too a dub step, trance or dance magazine was only for DJ's and not the normal music listener. This made me think maybe I'm looking at a niche market-meaning my ideas wouldn't sell. So I went on the Internet and search for music and artists that where either dub step artists or British indie/pop/rock artists. To my surprise many. In fact, on one website alone I found six dub step mags, many dub step artists and information on dub step nights at clubs. So this proves there is an audience for this subject. I also found a lot of British indie/pop/rock mags. I have decided to pursue the dub step route because there would be more space on the market for it.
