2. Social
Class
The social class that my
media would most likely
appeal to is B, C1, C2 OR D.
The reason for this is
because these classes
would be able to afford my
magazine which is at a
reasonable price and could
mostly likely afford money to
go to concerts and festivals.
In-addition it would also
appeal to people who are in
higher education and
therefore might be in a part
time job. As you can see the
majority of the population in
the UK are C1, C2 which Is
ideal as my target audience
fits this.
3. Age and Gender
The age of which hip hop is most listened to is older teens up to mid 30’s, however I
would say mostly teens. Therefore my media is aimed at this age as well. At this age
most are either in part time employment or full time employment and will be able to buy
my magazine. In addition, they will also be able to go to concerts etc. as they could most
likely afford it. Furthermore, teenagers are an ideal target audience because they like
music and like to go out with friends so by targeting teenagers it would help boost the
popularity of my magazine as they may recommend the magazine to their friends. I have
made my magazine target this age group by doing a number of things such as included
competitions to give people a chance to go to a concert if they are unable to afford it.
Furthermore, the artist on my magazine is also a similar age to my target audience
which will hope fully make it more appealing to that genre.
Hip Hop appeals mostly to the male audience as does the things associated with this
genre such as , producing beats, rap battling, graffiti, and breakdancing. Therefore I
have made my media appeal to this audience by using masculine fonts and cover lines
which would particularly appeal to the male audiences. However, though the majority of
people who buy my magazine be male some may be female which is still ok.
4. Hobbies and musical taste
People who buy my magazine may have
a number of different hobbies such
breaking dancing, beat boxing,
producing, rapping, DJ’ing etc.. They also
may like to go out to concerts or parties
in their spare time.
Musical taste would most likely be
artists such as Eminem and 50 cent
who often make songs about their life
and up bringing or things going on in
their life which other people can relate.
However other artists would include
people Tupac, Jay Z, Drake and Tinie
Tempah who often do collaborations
with other artists some necessary not
from the same genre.
A typical audience profile
of some one would be
something like this.
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Social Class: C2
Ethnicity: White, British.
Hobbies: Football, producing music,
rapping, DJ’ing.
