The magazine represents social groups that enjoy hip-hop/rap, indie rock, concerts, and parties. It targets 16-18/19 year olds of mixed gender from middle-class backgrounds, especially those who are bullied or see music as escapism. As hip-hop features more black artists, it highlights African American rappers. However, finding dark-skinned models for photos was difficult. While teenagers are often portrayed as rude and rebellious, the magazine shows this side but also interviews a teenage rapper who is not that way outside his music. The magazine's style and colors present its audience as sophisticated rather than needing flashy images to attract buyers.

Question 4
The target audience for the magazine is teens and young adults aged 15-25 who are interested in hip-hop music and culture. While hip-hop is stereotypically dominated by males, the magazine aims to appeal equally to both male and female readers by featuring female artists. A typical reader is envisioned as a 16-year-old who enjoys popular clothing brands, internet, celebrities, music, fashion and spends free time socializing with friends.

Bauer Media Group would be the best distributor for the author's pop music magazine 'Chart' for three reasons:
1) Bauer has existing knowledge of music magazines, despite not focusing on pop genre specifically.
2) Bauer has a gap in their portfolio for a magazine like 'Chart' and knows how to successfully target a female audience, as shown by magazines like Heat and Grazia.
3) Bauer can help the author reach their intended 13-18 year old, primarily female audience from social classes C2-D who enjoy mainstream pop artists like Cheryl Cole, One Direction, and Rihanna.
Magazines research
These hip-hop magazines, including The Source, Vibe, and XXL, primarily target African American males ages 16-25. Their content focuses on the lifestyles, music, and issues relevant to rappers and their audiences. While some view the explicit content negatively, the magazines also aim to inspire young people and showcase success stories. However, they do not adequately represent the wider hip-hop audience in terms of age, gender, or ethnicity.
Question 2
The document discusses the target audience for a pop music magazine. It would target teenage girls ages 13-16 from middle-income families who enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, and following celebrity gossip and interviews. The magazine features Asian British people and models and uses feminine colors like pink and purple to appeal to its target female readership. Some people with disabilities may have a harder time attending concerts and therefore the magazine may not appeal to all.
Focus group analysis
The focus group found that images are the main draw for purchasing magazines. They noted that "Vibe" magazine is the most well-known rap magazine, aimed mainly at males. Sexual imagery is often used to attract readers. The group said they had never bought music magazines, preferring online content, suggesting print magazines are outdated. They were interested in artists like Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne and enjoyed interviews that created a personal connection. Magazines aimed at men often use women as sex objects or emphasize masculinity to appeal to readers. The focus group said they would only buy a magazine if it was affordable and reflected their interests in rap and society.

The magazine aims to appeal to this audience by using pink colors, fashionable models, and categories focused on celebrity gossip.

Research project
This document summarizes a study on the role of local media in Portland, Maine's music community. The study found that:
1) Local musicians and fans primarily rely on social media to learn about shows and new music, rather than local print/online media.
2) Building a strong local fan base through word-of-mouth and personal connections is more important to musicians than branching out of the local scene.
3) Popular genres bringing the largest crowds currently are rap/hip-hop and electronic music.
The study suggests social media is replacing traditional local media as the main way for musicians to promote themselves and fans to discover new music in smaller music communities.

The document discusses technologies used to create a product including Google, Blogger, Word/PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, a DSLR camera, and studio lights. While familiar with some technologies beforehand, others like Blogger and InDesign were new but easy to learn. All the technologies worked well together to create the final product.

Bauer Media would be the best publisher to distribute the magazine "Highway to October" because they currently publish rock and metal magazines like Q, Mojo, and Kerrang that have audiences similar to the proposed hip-hop and indie rock magazine, so it could expand their reach. While NME also covers some hip-hop, adding another similar magazine likely wouldn't grow their audience or brand recognition. Bauer's current music magazines may not fully target rebellious teenagers today, so "Highway to October" could fill that gap with its explicit content, which Kerrang has precedent for publishing.

The document summarizes how the audience was attracted and addressed in a magazine article. A large title and interesting photography on the cover drew people in. The model's skin was edited black and white with color remaining on his mask and shirt, creating an aesthetic that looked striking. References to music lyrics and symbols would be recognized by fans of hip-hop and indie music. The magazine assumed the audience was smart enough to understand these types of references.
Survey Analysis
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to gather audience preferences for a music video, album, and advertisement. The survey received around 150 responses and was analyzed to determine that the music video should feature both a narrative and live performance elements. It also found that the album artwork should use warm colors and hand-drawn, minimalist illustrations. The advertisement should focus most prominently on the release date and use a consistent warm color scheme across materials.

Target audience profile
My target audience for my hip-hop music magazine is ages 16 and over of all genders and races, but particularly black readers as hip-hop was created by African Americans. It will attract outgoing, lively people interested in hip-hop who are in social classes C1 to E. The magazine will include gossip, music charts, competitions, and exclusive hip-hop artist interviews to engage and gratify readers. It will have a typical hip-hop magazine layout with close-up artist photos and use of red, black, gold, white colors and colloquial language. Advertising will promote hip-hop movies, albums, and concerts. As editor, I will work to align the language and content with readers'
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It targets males and females aged 18-35 who are part of the working class ranging from low to middle class. Specifically, it represents the black/Latino races that hip hop originated from, though the genre appeals to all races. In terms of gender, it mainly represents males as hip hop is male-dominated. Regarding sexuality, it best represents heterosexual males and females as its target includes both and homosexuality remains controversial in hip hop culture.
Question 4
The magazine represents young people aspiring to careers in art and fashion. It primarily targets black youth interested in R&B and urban fashion trends. The majority of readers will be 18-24 years old students who enjoy keeping up with celebrity gossip and spend £4 on a 50-page magazine publication. The magazine aims to inspire and relate to this demographic through stories of black artists and a style featuring mostly black models.
Representation
My media product represents the social group of indie alternative males and females aged 16-24. I show this through the language, imagery, and visuals in my magazine that feature models and music appealing to this group. The magazine caters to their interests in grunge, hardcore, art, fashion, and wide range of music styles. It aims to help them express their individuality and stand out from mainstream groups by following stereotypes of what indie alternatives typically like through mood boards and content in the magazine.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a rap/hip-hop magazine. It analyzes factors such as age (15-25 years old), gender (males and females), education level (secondary school through university), location (UK, specifically London), and psychographic profiles (Young & Rubican's Explorer, Succeeder, and Aspirer). Research found that rap/hip-hop is most popular among these demographics. The conclusion is that this target audience was chosen to appeal to a mainstream market and fit the criteria of being interested in the genre and able to afford the reasonably priced magazine.
Media eval 2
- The document describes a magazine focused on the hip-hop genre, which originated in the 1970s among black African Americans and involves hip-hop music and artists.
- The target audience for the magazine is mainly young black males and females between 16-19 years old, though it could also appeal to some outside that group interested in hip-hop.
- Images in the magazine feature hip-hop artists wearing stereotypical clothing like caps and hoodies associated with hip-hop culture to attract the target audience.

The document discusses plans for a new rap and hip-hop magazine targeted towards teens. It will focus on popular mainstream artists like Drake, ASAP Rocky, and Big Sean. Articles will cover the artists' albums, singles, tours, and personal lives. The magazine aims to promote independence and show young artists they can achieve success through hard work. It will be published monthly for £2.50 to be affordable to its target audience. The first issue will use attention-grabbing visuals and buzzwords on the title page to attract readers.
Music Magazine Planning
The document analyzes several urban music magazines, including RWD, Vibe, and The Source. It discusses the target audiences and how each magazine's cover appeals to readers through design elements like bold titles, catchy taglines, and prominent coverage of popular artists. Key details like color schemes, font styles, and article placement are addressed. Audience profiles are also provided to help define the intended readership for an urban music magazine.
Question 2
The document discusses the goals and approach of a new music magazine. It aims to include both male and female artists and target all ethnic groups and social classes who enjoy Western music styles like R&B, hip hop, and rap. The magazine will have a diverse mix of positive role models, affordable pricing, and approachable writing styles to build a broad, inclusive audience.
Evaluation Question 4
The document describes a music magazine called VENUS that is aimed at representing the social group of 16-25 year old British females with an interest in hip-hop/R&B/rap music. The creator saw a gap in the market for a hip-hop magazine targeted towards females, as well as a gap for a British hip-hop magazine. A survey showed that the target audience felt female hip-hop artists did not get enough recognition and that there should be a magazine focused on British hip-hop. The magazine aims to represent its target reader - a 17 year old urban London girl of African ethnicity interested in both male and female British and American hip-hop, street dance, and fashion.
Evaluation Question Four
The document discusses the target audience for a rap/hip-hop magazine. The target audience is identified as males and females ages 15-25 based on research showing this age group has the highest interest in rap/hip-hop music. The target location is identified as the UK, specifically London, due to the popularity of rap/hip-hop music in that region. Key factors like age, gender, education level, location, and psychographic profiles are analyzed to define the target audience for the magazine.
Evaluation question 4+5
My target audience for the hip-hop music magazine "Baseline" is 16-24 year olds. I conducted a questionnaire of both male and female music magazine consumers in this age group to understand what content would attract them. Knowing that 16-24 year olds have a strong interest in mainstream music like hip-hop, I featured articles on up-and-coming artists in this genre from a variety of backgrounds to appeal to readers of all ethnicities. The magazine's bold design and use of models similar in age and interests to the target audience aims to draw in readers and satisfy their curiosity about the hip-hop industry.

The document discusses the target audience for a proposed hip hop music magazine called "Revolt." The intended audience is described as people ages 16-30, targeting older teenagers and young adults. The magazine will appeal to those interested in hip hop music and culture, keeping readers informed about new artists, albums, interviews and competitions. While aiming to appeal to all ethnicities, the first issues will focus on black American and British models to launch the magazine successfully. Demographic statistics from an existing hip hop magazine are provided to help define the target audience.

While hoping to appeal to all ethnicities, the first issues will focus on black American and British models to launch the magazine successfully. Demographic statistics from a similar magazine help the author understand that the audience will likely be 21-29 year old males who enjoy hip hop music, concerts, freebies and social media.
Eval question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a magazine about R&B music. It indicates that while the music is targeted at 13-25 year olds, magazines may appeal more to older readers. Research showed that 80% of R&B listeners identified with the "new affluent workers" class of 18-24 year old students. As examples, it provides profiles of Jayda, a 17-year old fashion student from London interested in R&B, dancing and design, and Sam, a 19-year old business student from London who writes songs and raps about his life with dreams of becoming a famous recording artist.
Eq2
This document summarizes how a media product represents different social groups. It represents people across socioeconomic classes, showing artists rising from poverty to wealth while maintaining their roots. It primarily features male rappers and hip-hop artists, reflecting the genre's focus, and challenges stereotypes of African Americans by showing a diverse range of black artists. While most successful rappers are American, the product did not explicitly represent any single nationality. Religion is also not a focus. Stereotypes of rappers are addressed by challenging views of them as lazy criminals.

The document discusses the target audience for a proposed hip hop music magazine called "Revolt." The intended audience is people ages 16-30, targeting older teenagers and young adults interested in building confidence and independence. The magazine will appeal to those interested in the hip hop music world, keeping them informed about new artists, albums, interviews and competitions. While aiming to appeal to all ethnicities, the first issues will focus on black American and British models, with artists from varying backgrounds featured on covers. Demographic research shows the target audience is likely to be 21-29 year old males who enjoy hip hop music and activities like concerts and social media.
Target Audience: Secondary Data
Seyi Odusoga conducted secondary research to identify the target audience for their hip hop music video. Their initial assumption was that the audience would be mostly young adult black males aged 16-25. However, further research showed that while the primary target audience is male aged 16-24 from a black ethnicity and C2 social class, the secondary target audience includes females aged 12-34 from any ethnicity in the C1 social class. Research from sources like XXL Magazine, SlideShare, and MusicMachinery demonstrated that hip hop appeals most to younger black males, but also has popularity among other groups.
Case study of the source
The Source was founded in 1988 as the second longest-running hip hop magazine in the United States. It was started by two Harvard students and focused on covering hip hop music and culture. The magazine grew in popularity and expanded its coverage of issues impacting the hip hop community. It also began producing television shows and award ceremonies to honor hip hop artists. The target readership of The Source is 18-30 year olds who are interested in hip hop music and fashion trends. The magazine maintains consistency in its branding to keep readers connected to its identity. Common stereotypes perpetuated in hip hop include violence, drugs, wealth, and misogyny.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My magazine is aimed at people who like hip-hop/rap and indie rock. The magazine represents the social groups that like to go out to concerts and parties. The swears in the magazine show a rebellious side to the artists and the people reading the magazine. Most of the readers would be maybe 16-18/19, mixed genders and middle class. The magazine is more for the underdogs, the unpopular not sporty kids at school, the ones who get bullied, the kids who need rough music as escapism, and this magazine would help them find more music like that. Since hip-hop features a higher proportion of black performers than white, I’ve mentioned most of my favourite African-American rappers in the contents page. One of the problems I’ve had with preproduction is that I had no access to any dark skin models to represent the African-American dominated industry. Teenagers are usually represented in the media as rowdy, rude and rebellious. This magazine shows this, but shows that they have a good side to them. The rapper interviewed in the double page spread is my friend Knight Six. He’s about my age, and people would assume that since he’s a teenager and into rap that he is rebellious and scary. In reality, he states in his interview that he’s not like that at all outside of his music. The style and colour scheme of my magazine show that my audience is sophisticated, and don’t need loads of pictures and bright colours like Kerrang to influence them into buying the magazine.
