1. 4. Who would the audience be for your media product?
My sub-genre of Hip-hop means that my target audience
would be for younger people. From teenagers to the age
of around 25. This is because older people from other
generations would not have grown up listening to Hip-hip
music and therefore wont enjoy reading about its artists.
Younger generations however have taken huge
interest in the genre and the artist in it. Since Hip-
hop began in the 1970’s there will be some people
older than my target audience who like Hip-hop but I
feel the majority will be somewhere between 13-25
2. 5. How did you attract/address your audience?
This is an example of a
front cover of vibe
magazine a very
successful hip-hop
magazine. As you can
see the artist is a
wearing a cap which is
a prop associated with
Hop-hop

The artist is also gazing into
the camera and doing some
sort of pose with his hands,
looking cool and relaxed
3. My magazine
As you can see there are
clear similarities between
my magazine and VIBE.
First of all you can see
some headphones around
the artists neck. This is
also a familiar item to be
associated with Hip-hop
like the cap in my previous
slide
I used the particular VIBE
cover to base my
magazine on and that is
clear with a similar hand
gesture and a gaze into
the camera
