Original Ideas Statement

Original Ideas Statement


For my magazine I have decided to make a rap orientated lifestyle magazine. This means that although it will feature rap artists the magazine will mainly represent the lifestyle. However, the biggest problem I have is that there is a broad range of lifestyles in which rap is portrayed. For example, you have Rap artists like drake that are represented as wealthy and live a luxurious rich lifestyle. However, on the other end of the spectrum you have artists like stormzy who represent a grimy and unattractive side of the Rap genre.
Overall I feel that I am going to aim for the luxurious, rich representation because I feel that it would be a clearer representation and appeal to a much larger audience.

Originally I wanted to make a motorcycle magazine. However, when realising it had to be music orientated I still really want to incorporate bikes into the magazine somehow. To do this I decided rap would be the best fit and perhaps incorporate it into an artist’s image or story regarding them. So as of now my initial plan is to make a loosely Rap orientated magazine which features items like bikes or cars which would also appeal to the target audience due to them being represented as dangerous and fun like the rap music. Therefore the target audience for this magazine will be an older teenage / younger adult audience which not only enjoy rap music but are perhaps aspiring to the goals or luxurious lifestyle that the magazine will represent.
