Textual Analysis

Target Audience: 16-25 male- This is because they show items that attract the young male audience in many ways, the ways they do this is by using words that attract them like ''fly'' and ''hip''. They also attgract this audience by putting in pictures of woman showing cleavage or in a type of pose as this attracts that target market.

  1. Please add more photos of this magazine that you analysed in this lesson to show what you are discussing. Please also be aware that publishing for The Source is now under L. Londell McMillan - google The North Star Group which also offers other Hip Hop titles. Also, there are other tasks you were asked to do in this lesson which aren't completed. Finishing these and adding more detail will make a much more detailed analysis and show deeper understanding.
