Statement of Intent

• I’m going to name my music magazine ‘ Gangsta Hop’ because musicians who do ‘Rap’ and ‘Hip-Hop’ are normally gangsters , I will use the symbol $ as the ‘s’s because rappers sometimes have big chains around the necks of that symbol also , replacing rap with gangster spelt with ‘a’ instead of ‘er’ because it is recognized that way by people who listen to this genre; then placing ‘Hop’ so that it is clear to the target audience what a sub-genre it is.

• My music magazine will be about photo shoots, interviews, concert reviews, songs made by rappers etc.

The design of the title will be in a 3d font to look more stylish because the name of my magazine ‘gangsta hop’ is more than a title/masthead it’s a culture of some people in this modern day society. I will incorporate the colours red, white, black but it depends on the colour of the main image because I want both colours to compliment each other. And it will be a skyliner I want it to fill the top of the magazine.

GANGSTA HOP

I will be choosing the main image it will be along the lines of someone posing with a prop such as a microphone, headphones, instrument etc. There will be also other images related to the genre opposite the cover lines they will be used to give insight on what is inside the magazine.

The potential target audience are young adults because it appeals more to them and music of this genre is quite popular with the young generation.

The target audience will find the front image appealing hopefully because it is going to be dynamic it will be a posed photography of someone probably me posing as a rapper with a microphone. Other images will be included on the front page which will link to my cover lines or articles and instruments/objects used for the music genre rap. There will be articles about concert’s and tickets, particular songs, interviews, new alums, and they are all related to the title of my music magazine ‘GANGSTA HOP’.They amount of fonts I use will be controlled, they will be various sizes for the cover lines depending on its importance, only three will be used colours which will compliment the main image, and they will be different styles of font and my target audience will find these appealing because of the variety of things on the front page.And the chosen font will depict the genre (rap) of my music magzine.
