Fliside
The document summarizes responses from a target audience of teenagers aged 16-17 about what they want to see in a rock music magazine. Key points include:
1) They look for bold fonts, large lettering, posters and other information advertising the main story on the cover.
2) The magazine should feature young, masculine models and a relaxed writing style that appeals to teenagers.

Audience Profile
The target audience for a new hip-hop/rap magazine would primarily be males ages 16-30, especially those of black ethnicity, as covers typically feature black male rappers. However, the genre has grown more mainstream and appeals to multiethnic readers across classes. According to uses and gratifications theory, readers may use the magazine for personal identification with issues raised in the music, while Maslow's hierarchy suggests they fulfill needs of self-actualization through the magazine's influence on their social lives and self-expression. While stereotypically thought to target young black males, hip-hop/rap's widespread popularity means it appeals to a diverse audience across demographics.
Formal proposal
The document proposes a magazine called "Voice" focused on the hip hop genre. It will appeal to its target audience of males and females aged 16-25 who connect to hip hop's expression of daily life and emotions. The front cover will feature a male model associated with hip hop style and cover lines highlighting the magazine's contents. The contents page will list topics and page numbers alongside hip hop-related images and colors. The double page spread will discuss new music charts, artists, and their lives/careers using consistent branding to engage readers. Photographs will primarily feature males aged 18-25 modeling hip hop fashion to match the successful artists appealing to the target demographic.
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'

Focus group (1)
- 1. Focus group In this task I will be asking 4-6 students aged 16-18 what they would like to see on the front cover, contents page and double page spread of an RnB/Hip-hop music magazine. What image would you like to see on the front cover of the magazine? The general idea I got from this question was that the students would like to see one main image of an artist that is popular now and is current, for it to be bold and implying to the younger market. What colours would you like to find throughout this magazine? There were a mixture of colours the students picked, the male students within the focus group picked predominately blues and greens and went on to express that these colours would attract the audience as there bright and calm colours. The females picked colours like pinks and purples and two picked red explaining that these colours are eye catching. How would you like the cover lines to be set out? They each made it clear that they would prefer to have the cover lines short and snappy, with pull out quotes because this would engage the reader to find out what the article inside is about. What types of things would you like to find in the magazine? -Articles on music celebrities -Gossip -Full image poster of music star (freebies) These were some of the points the students made in which they would like to have within this magazine, they then went to express how they would like ‘a lot from a little,’ which I believe meant that they would like find lots about RnB/Hip-hop but for it to only cost a small amount, a affordable for a younger market.
- 2. What type of language would you like to find within this magazine? They said they would like it to be informal as it’s an RnB/Hip-hop magazine it wouldn’t connect as a piece if the writing was than to be formal also younger reader would like to see informality. How much text would you except? Some asked for more images throughout the magazine but some asked for a balance of the two but for it not to be overwhelmed with text.
