The genre of my magazine is Hip-Hop.
This is a very popular genre among many people, my target however is aimed at
black British or American females. From the ages of 18 to 34.
3. My Model

Female Model: I chose my for my model
to be a female because that’s who my
magazine is targeted at. I wanted to make
a Hip-hop magazine that empowers
women instead of degrades them because
usually the women in Hip-hop magazine
are under dressed and over sexualised so I
wanted to challenge that.
Black Model: Majority of the Hip Hop
female rappers are black, and their
message in their songs are very inspiring
and strong and it also allows the reader to
relate to the magazine.
Styling: I chose for my model to wear red
and black this was because I noticed that
those a very predominant colours in the
Hip-hop genre. I also chose for the chains
to stand out because Hip-hop artists show
their jewellery off at any moment they
get.
Props: For the DPS (double page spread)
the prop is a red marker this was an
intention so it looks like she wrote the
headline

Hip-hop magazines have a sense of power and attitude
and that’s what I wanted my magazine to have.
Most of the poses I asked my model to do connoted
both of those.
Every Hip-hop artist is different especially the women
some rap sexually for men and some of them challenge
the men.
Although my magazine is mainly for women many male
Hip-hop artists inspired my choices.
My models eye contact is directly at the camera and is
also pointing this connotes authority and will draw the
reader into the magazine.
I also noticed that Hip-hop magazines usually have
artists with either a serious or stern look or an artist
with a humorous expression, my models facial
expression is quite stern.
5. Colour Scheme

From making my mood board I noticed the main colours and chose them for my colour pallet.
I wanted my magazine to be mainly black and white with some hints of colours e.g. the chain.
I believe these colours connote hip hop because they are very common for this genre.
