Once you have completed Research Tasks 3 and 4 you could complete additional, independent research into how the front covers of other independent music magazines appeal to their audiences.
If you choose to do this, you could start with a selection from the list of independent music magazines below.
These all have print and online editions.
When you go to each magazines website, you will be able to find front covers of previous issues if you search around.
I have chosen 5 independent magazines here that target a range of audiences. You could find others if you wish BUT remember that they must be independent.
If you choose to do this task, present your work in a post on your blog with the following title:

"Under the Radar Magazine is an indie music Magazine that prints five issues a year, is distributed across North America and internationally, and bills itself as 'The solution to music pollution' The independent Magazine was founded in 2001 by publishers (and now husband and wife) Mark Redfern (a writer) and Wendy Lynch Redfern (a photographer) and is known for in-depth and characterized interviews with bands large and small, as well as their accompanying unique and stylistic photo-shoots.
