2. My ideal reader for my magazine
My target audience and ideal reader for my magazine are the people
who like to listen to R&B and Hip Hop also anyone who listens to up
beat songs, as you can see from these screenshots these are just
some of the artist’s who take place being under the category of RnB
& Hip Hop, all the fans who support these artists are my target
audience and you’d find that you would have the same fans for the
same artists simply because the category in which RnB & Hip Hop
take place. They would be expecting to see any of these artists
below involved in my magazine otherwise I would have not achieved
attracting my target audience.
3. What are their interests?
Their interests would be maybe going to music festivals, such as where the R&b
artists would perform like wireless, v-festival,made in america festival, and many
others that the fans are attending to. As you can see below I have copied and
pasted of the description about the 'made in america festival' and this is based
around the artists you are expected to see for the R&B fans.
Jay Z partnered with Budweiser to create a two-day music festival called
MADE IN AMERICA. The festival was originally held in Philadelphia only. It
expanded to Los Angeles this year and featured Meek Mill, Kanye West,
Drake, Iggy Azalea, YG, Nipsey Hussle, and Hit-Boy, Chance the Rapper, DJ
Mustard and many more - this was some of the information I gathered from
researching a few r&b and hip hop artists.
4. What type of music would they currently have on their playlist?
It would start off with the most well known and then escalate from
there, everyone who likes listening to R&B all have their one favorite,
but the celebrities which are most likely to be listened to are
Rihanna, Beyonce, Chris Brown, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber
and their most recent songs. So for Rihanna it would be her new song
featured with drake called work, Beyonce- Formation, Chris Brown-
Wrist, Drake- Hotline Bling, Nicki Minaj – Anaconda an Justin bieber-
Sorry. I easily knew their most recent songs from searching on
youtube and from judging how many views the song got.
5. The fashion aspects in R&B.
MEN:
Topless- For example trey Songz is seen in his music videos with a
minimum amount of clothing on; and the reason for this is because it
is targeted towards young teenage girls, and you will find this with
most r&b artist's.
Jeans- Also most of the music artists are seen wearing their jeans
quite low and they are usually wearing branded boxers like calvin
klein, or a designer belt and sometimes they will do focus shots so it
is clearer to see.
Tattoos- A lot of male artists in the R&B category usually have a few
tattoos simply because they are portrayed to attract a younger
audience, instead of being seen with just one they are seen with
quite a few tattoos.
6. The fashion aspects in R&B.
WOMEN:
Minimal Clothing- the females are shown to have very little clothing
on their stomachs, the reasons for this is because the target is aimed
at a male audience which to them they see as an object of desire.
● Hair & Makeup- With this the women artist's tend to have their make
up don quite dramatic, like having a drake shade for the eye shadow
to make them come across as fierce artists. It is also quite defined
so they are the main attraction to their audience and also some
female artists where red lipstick in their music videos to show power.
● Heels & Trainers- most R&B female artists where heels in their music
videos to make their legs look elegant and if they have hardly got any
clothes on and have heels, when they are walking in them it makes
them seem feisty but this look is what teenage girls look up to and is
what they would pursue in doing because they are following fashion,
but then sometimes female artists will wear trainers and this is
usually when they are in a choreographed dancing scene in their
music videos.
