EVALUATION 2 [DRAFT]

After completing my research my magazine was targeted at a age range of 16- 30 year olds, predominantly of the male gender that were heavily interested in the Hip-Hop genre. I chose this specific genre as a reflection of my interests in music and how with being so interested in the Hip-Hop genre, this would allow me to make the most effective magazine. The age of my audience was fairly easy to meet as I, the majority of people that I know and the majority of artists fit into he 16-30 year old bracket, therefore I have a strong understanding on they content that should be in this magazine and the themes that are brought up in them. Additional research involved finding my target audience through the UK Tribes website. After look through number of the various tribes I found that the tribes that suit the Hip-Hop genre included the Urban Tribe as well as sub genres like the Hypebeasts and Stylers. The Urban genre in particular have a clear interest for Hip-Hop music and therefore was a clear choice for my target audience. 

My artist. Joel Roberts is a young Hip-Hop star that has be brought to fame after releasing a mix-tape online. This theme was brought up to connect with the younger audience of similar age. In terms of style, my artist compares similarly to the Artist Kendrick Lamar. My artist simply rocks a  Ralph Lauren white polo and sweatshirt with a jacket, which is a representation to their simplistic style of fashion. This style of clothing has become more mainstream within society along with many social groups. Therefore the Mise-en-Scene of my magazine supports the Stylers social group from UK Tribes, which love to wear luxury and stylish clothing that is in current trends. The style of clothing that these two rappers are showing are providing an indication to the change in clothing that many Hip-Hop stars are making, which is simplistic and comfortable. the style is becoming far more main-stream in society, where as in the past large amounts of rappers would show off their fame with baggy designer clothes and gold chains. Although this is still shown by rappers, it has become less and less noticeable.  My artist, although young, has a wise maturity about him as shown through my article. This goes with the target audience that like Joel Roberts, is maturing and becoming more aware about himself and life. The transition between teenager and young adult is being shown, just like the age range of the 16-30 year old audience.  

Additionally to Joel Roberts, the other artist in my magazine also has an impact on the target audience of Renegade Magazine. Over time, the genre of Hip-Hop has become far more of a racially neutral genre, with rappers of all skin colours rising to fame with the likes of Eminem, Logic and Mac Miller. Similarly, what started being known as a 'black' genre has become fairly mixed with people of all skin colours, religions and races being fans of the music genre. The second artist in my magazine, J.Miller, is a white rapper that was chosen to feature on my magazine, showing the diversity of both fans and artists in the game.  He is featured on my contents page twice as the main image as well as for album artwork for his own album.

From my magazine, the mise en scene of the artist, genre of music and themes that are brought up are used to represent particular social groups such as Hypebeasts and Urban Artists which have a strong interest in the themes brought up in Hip-Hop music.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

The publishing process involves the distribution of media products, including magazines. there are a number of various publishing companies that help publish a number of music magazines like the one I am creating including IPC Media, Time Inc. and Bauer Media Group. Bauer Media Group is a media company based in Hamburg, Germany that manage over 600 different magazines worldwide.  Bauer Media group publish some of the most well known music magazines such as Q Magazine and Kerrang! which have had large amounts of success. With the experience that Bauer have, they would be a company that would be able to help Renegade magazine reach it's full potential. 

Costs for the production of Renegade magazine would be earned through advertisements scattered throughout the magazine internally. Both Q and Keerang! have this similar strategy. In addition,Renegade magazine is a high quality magazine with a premium price of $10.99/ £6.99. With this price,a percentage would be used as a way to pay for distribution and publishing costs. Bauer would use paid circulation business model to distribute Renegade Magazine's seasonal issue. This will insure that the magazine is sold to readers for a specific price that has be stated through subscriptions. Readers can also visit newsstands and other outlets that sell the magazine to buy Renegade through a pay-as-you-go method which allows them to buy when the want to. 

EVALUATION 4 [DRAFT]

My magazine is aimed at a audience of primarily 16-30 year old. My magazine's age range came about taking in some feedback about the type of people that generally listen to hip-hop as well as who the music artists have made is aimed at. The large range in age also reflects the diversity that the genre provides. Although Hip-Hop is seen as a more mature genre there is still a large percentage of listeners that are teenagers, therefore a larger age range is needed. The music that my audience will primarily listen to is Hip-Hop/Rap music and listen to many artist that are considered 'mainstream', including: Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Eminem, Chance, The Rapper, Tyler, The Creator, Kanye West and more. I decided to aim my magazine at a predominantly male audience due to the more masculine themes that are presented in Hip-Hop. As well as Hip-Hop Music, my audience would also have a number of other hobbies/interest such as: Video Games, Movies, TV Shows such as The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones and also social media. To research for my audience I used the website 'UKTribes.com'. on this site I was able to narrow down the specific types/groups of people that would be interested in Renegade Magazine. From the website i found groups such as Hypebeasts, Stylers and Urban Artist. Each of these groups have particular links to my magazine's genre and therefore provided me with specific groups which I could target upon the creation of my magazine.
