2. Age
• They age range for my magazine would be between 16-21,
the older age teenagers, this is because of the content and
the formality of the writing, meaning, anyone younger
would find it to hard to read and to understand, people
over the age of 21 would still read the magazine, but with
this age range have the most disposable income and they
are most likely to read the magazine,
• With the images used as well, it doesn’t attract the younger
readers but it would attract the teenage market for sure.
• The Age of people which listen to hip hop is older because
of the content of the music, and the scene which hip hop
has behind it, so that's why the magazine audience would
be between 16-21 which is what I was aiming for.
3. Gender
• The Audience gender would be male this is
because of the images used and the writing style
is more male based and all of the images have
males included in them, in a masculine way, the
tone of the magazine, doesn’t resemble any
female magazine which is out there as well so it
wouldn't attract them as a audience, the vibe
which it has with the black and white images
doesn’t seem ‘friendly’ in the sense of the
women's protective prospection.
4. Class
• The hip hop audience has a typical lower class
following, because of the representation of
coming up from the street within the music
which hip hop represents. The lower class isn't
shown within the magazine, because my
magazine would be aiming for all classes,
typically middle class to lower, but segregating
the lower class would be shrinking my market
size, therefore loosing money and audiences
5. Ethnicity
• The ethnicity would be aiming at the African American
class still because they have the larges following of hip
hop music, but as hip hop becomes more main stream
and wider range of people listening to hip hop and
making hip hop music it would be aiming at white
Americans as well, still focused over In the USA
because hip hop still hasn't been grasped by many
people over in Europe, this is why a white hip hop
artist has been shown in my magazine to show a
different side of hip hop, going against the grain to gain
a wider followers, doesn’t matter about ethnicity.
