Lesson 8

Lesson 8 - During this lesson we were seperated in to pairs, to focus on a certain music magazine to see how they represented the genre of muic it covered. The magazine me and my partner (Emma) were given to analayse was ' Hip Hop'. As the title suggested we came to the conclusion that it was a hip-hop magazine, also the magazine was full of images of hip-hop artists at red carpet events or events that have happend involving stars and also tour dates of hip hop artists.
most of the colours used were quite birght symbolising the livelyness of a hip hop stars life. there were many references to prove that the magazine's target audience were sixteen to twenty five year olds who enjoy listening to the hip hop genre, there is a certain language type to that hip hop artists and fans obviously use as i struggled to pick certain terms up, its something everyone who wasnt a regular reader would battle to understand. this lesson really showed me all the thought and care that goes in to a magazine so that the target audience in satisfied, its everything from colours, images to interviews.
