RAPID L’S COSTUMEThis is what my rap artist is going to look like and what he is going to wear on the front cover. I have decided to have him wearing a bandana to lure the audience in for them to read more and wonder who is behind the bandana. This artist is new and coming up in the rap world but he is well known in the UK and the USA but because he wears this bandana know one knows what he looks like fully. This magazine will have an exclusive headline that will say something like ‘Exclusive: Rapid L face reveal’ I hope this will entice and lure the audience in more to read and buy the magazine.

He will be wearing mainly black because I found out, from my research, that most rap artists wear black which shows the artists masculinity. Also because it is all black it really puts a focus on his bandana so people will be drawn to the his face and want to know who is behind it.

The clothes are baggy because this is a key stereotype amongst rap artists so fans of the genre will be able to tell he is a rap artist, in case they haven’t heard of him. Also because the target audience wear baggy and not so expensive clothes they will be able to relate themselves to the artist.

He will be able to represent these features to conform with the conventions of a modern day rapper.

The artists name is Rapid L because his first name is Louis and he is quick when he raps. So therefore the L is for Louis and the Rapid is to represent his speed in his lyrics and songs.

This will be the rough look of the front cover possibly

with arms crossed.
