clothes models could wear

1. Photos of clothes/accessories
my potential artists would
wear

2. This would fit my male model on the front
cover because as well as the man catching
their attention, the bling/gold chains will
attract my target audience in more
(stereotypically gold diggers), this is
because the majority of my target audience
are black females and they would mainly
be into wealthy men and gold is a female’s
best friend (as well as diamond). Chains
also relate to the Hip-Hop genre because
most of the artists of that genre like to flash
their cash by expressing it through their
clothes and it relates to a rapper called 2
Chainz, who does the genre of Hip-Hop,
causing recognition to my target audience.
Chains would also look good with the
masthead ‘Bling’ and make the masthead
and main image anchor too.

3. This traditionally worn on the head of a person
or can be worn anywhere else on a person.
Bandanas are usually popular in street gangs
as it is associated with gang affiliation, but
mostly is a fashionable accessory in the UK, so
it would represent the realism of today’s world
as most people (especially in my target
audience wear this). This bandana also is an
iconic symbol of Tupac, who was a great Hip-
Hop artist. So i will ask people if they like Tupac
and if they do, that means they like his style
and that will help in knowing if my target
audience would like to see my male model
wearing it on the front cover. This would also
stand out on the front cover as it will be
beneath the masthead and will attract the
audience due to the rule of thirds.

4. My female model will wear this bomber jacket as it
would go along with the theme of the front cover if
the chains are worn. Therefore, the masthead of
‘Bling’ will work very well with this theme of gold
chains. She will wear this as it is not all black and
dull. As there are many gold chains of the jacket, it
shows wealth and expensiveness, making the
whole magazine look well designed, thought
through and expensive but still has a reasonable
price for my target audience as the first issue. It
also shows my magazine is suited to my target
audience and most of them wear bomber jackets
and know the fashion styles that are around lately,
making the magazine common to my target
audience.

5. By my one of my female model wearing this, it will
become a trend for more women to wear snapbacks,
making my magazine ‘cool’ and that sets trend. This will
make my magazine more interesting for tips on fashion as
well as gossip and other things. Also, as I have subverted
stereotypes by saying women listen to Hip-Hop music.
The snapback will show that women and men are similar
in the things they like/do. This would inspire female target
audience and also teach them as well as other things the
magazine provides. It also brings style to the magazine
because it what most people in the Hip-Hop industry wear
whilst conducting their music.

6. These represents an old school trend from the 80s and
became a good fashion style that my target audience
will relate to as they would most likely wear clothes like
this. Before these jeans became ‘cool’, it would only be
worn by homeless people, which would present Hip-Hop
as this genre originated from African-American people
and how stereotypes say that they were poor and
uneducated, so making music on the streets was the
only way of life. Showing what genre the magazine is
more. Also, because of this history, it shows that I am
also targeting working class people, who would be able
to afford most clothes of this style which connotes that
my magazine won’t be very expensive for them causing
them to pick up the magazine.
