My music magazine is made to target teenagers and above both male and female who listen to Hip Hop. I represented the particular social group through the images used in my music magazine. Firstly the model on the front cover represents the Hip Hop style and way of life.
One of the ways this is done is through the clothes he is dressed in; he is wearing a cap, a puffy jacket, stripe jumper and some Sony headphones. This suggests urban stereotypically associated with hip hop artist. In addition, the clothes are flashy so to further represent the Hip Hop life style and genre. The clothes are natural exclusive so that the target audience would want to purchase the magazine to copy the look; also the clothes suggest the type of genre that the magazine will be. The clothes that my model wore was design to look flashy so that the clothes draws attention to the magazine, this also represent the expensive lifestyle of a Hip Hop artist.
The headphones and the cap the model is wearing is not the usual type of accessories worn by Hip Hop artist to appeal my target audience because it’s make my model and in turn my music magazine original and individual and the social group this magazine is aimed at are attracted to individuality. The pose of the model is to so that he is not afraid to look anyone on the eye making the model more dominant over the target audience. The straight facial expression on the models face shows the dangerous and mysterious aspects of a Hip Hop artist and this is a normal in the Hip Hop genre.
