Questionnaire Planning

In order to create a magazine that appeals to my audience, I have to gather their thoughts and opinions. I will be creating a questionnaire and sharing it with my classmates. My goal is to learn more about my audience's magazine preferences. Such insight will assist me in my brainstorming process.

Demographics

I want my questionnaire to include questions about my audience's demographics to learn more about the people that will be reading my magazine. I plan on including a few questions about their age, gender, and/or race and ethnicity.

Hip-hop magazine insight

In one way or another everything else on the page ensured that the readers stayed captivated and that they focu...

Women in Hip-Hop Magazines

Ever since hip-hop has been popular, it has been an industry dominated by men. Many male artists are credited for their legacies left on the genre, while women are overlooked. However, female artists like Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Remy Ma, and many others have made large impacts on the sound of hip-hop and the way it is perceived. Not only have they paved the way for many of the currently popular hip-hop artists, they have impacted different cultures and popularized different fashion styles. It is because of those artists that there are currently many women bringing forth their unique styles to the genre today.
