Yo! My name is Richard. I am a AS media student and I have started analysing the codes & conventions of a Music magazine. Why? Because as my main task I need to produce a final front cover, a final contents page and a DPS (Double Page spread). As I really enjoy the vibrant and motivational hip-hop culture, I knew this would be this best path to go down as I find it to be my favourite genre, this also allows me to be able to understand how to convey the genre of hip-hop in to a music magazine as these are the types of magazines I would buy. My favourite type of hip-hop is alternative hip-hop, which refers to hip-hop artist/groups that refuse to conform to any traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangster, bass, hardcore and party rap. Which instead they can merge genres such as jazz, soul, reggae, as well as rock and even funk. I understand that Hip-Hop may not be as popular as Pop but I know that it will have its loyal audience and people who love Hip-Hop like me. The target audience that I am aiming for is 19-28 the "Young Generation" this target audience would be mostly male. Even though my target audience is the younger generation I still believe that the older audience might read it also.
