1. With my magazine’s genre being R&B/Hip Hop, I thought it was important to show both the glamorous side,
with success stories, and also a more realistic side. Stereotypically, with the majority of people from this genre
coming from an ‘urban’ background, which is associated with the streets and crime, etc, I wanted to include a
very simple location. And with a lot of young people today having nothing to do, and spending a lot of their
time doing nothing in parks, I thought I would include one in my magazine. I did this by incorporation it with a
story about an up and coming rapper, with it being a stereotypical start for them to be one of the youth who do
hang around on the streets a lot doing nothing.
I plan to use this location as I want to really enforce the urban feel that
these two genres represent. I plan on waiting until it gets dark, so that it
would capture the night sky behind the model, and give it a natural
setting. This location will hopefully help portray the magazine as being
very in touch with its audience by not continuously having expensive
looking photoshoot style shots.

2. I chose this location, due to the expensive brand of cars we automatically associate
with wealth. With my model pretending to be a rapper, I wanted him to portray the
stereotypical arrogant and flashy attitude they have. I will photoshop the background
so that the actual location if obvious and it does genuinely look as if it is the models
car. This location shows the more glamorous, successful side of the genre. And by also
showing this, it presents the magazine as more professional and high market.
