The genre of magazine I am going to be producing is going to be a hip hop/ R n B /rap sort of magazine and the reason I am going to be doing this is because it is my preferred type of music and I can relate to it more than any other genre such as rock. This will mean I will need to consider the colours I will use and the every other content on the magazine will need to be suitable to the Hip hop audience. Fonts, images and other conventions will need to be suitable sp therefore I will need to identify the main colours, styles of images and fonts by studying other existing hip hop magazines.

The age of the audience I will be trying to attract is anybody between the ages of 15-25, however I think my magazine will be more appealing to the male audience rather than the female audience. This is because the style and colours I would need to use in a Hip hop type magazine would be more appealing to men.

The purpose of my hip hop magazine will be to entertain and also to inform the audience, I will entertain by using a range of different trivia, fun stories and other things such as these. I will also inform them by giving out the latest stories on the big names of hip hop and how the records sales at doing at this point in time. This will make the magazine also appeal to a wider range of people.
