Representation

Representation

This presentation is about the representation behind a magazine. This includes key artists and how they are representd (e.g. clothing style, personality etc.), performance venues, attitudes and political messages.
Throughout my research for this presentation, I came to understand which genre of music I wanted to base my magazine on.
At first I thought I wanted to make a Hip-Hop magazine, however after researching this, I found that the Urban genre would be more suited to my magazine as Hip-Hop is more focused on black ethnicity and is too heavily associated with American, male artists, whereas urban music opens it up to more artists.
I also considered the attitudes associated with Hip-Hop and realized that they are contreversial, therefore I did not want this to have a negative effect on my magazine, and as I result, I decided that the Urban genre was represented in a more positive light and chose to make my magazine of the Urban genre.
I researched the way the urban artists are visually represented (clothing style, body language) and analysed the sterotype of urban artists and they way they come accross to the audience.
