Costume/Props Planning

 Costume/Props Planning

I’m going to use a cigar as this represents wealth and individuals of a higher status; it creates an image of importance and power which most rappers want to be perceived as. This is also stereotypically associated with hip hop artists as it creates a cool, suave image which I want to incorporate onto my front page.



Any form of jewellery, chain in particular, is considered as one of the main necessary accessories as part of the attire for a hip hop rapper, therefore its essential that I include this in some way on my magazine.This also displays wealth and quality and this type of chain represents a gangster and masculine image; stereotypically most rappers like to portray that attribute.




These two hats are the best examples for what you would expect to see a hip hop rapper to wear. Both hats displays wealth to a certain extent, from personal experience and through research I believe that any form of hats is the most common attire worn by rappers as it represents the urban society; gives a cool image. In addition the hat could be used to cover identity to a certain degree (eyes), supporting the stereotypic interpretations of thugs; ghetto life in which most rappers have in common.





This also clearly displays wealth due to the materials which you can see, so it’s essential I use a coat/jacket of a similar form. Having a good coat will infer good taste which is a trait that most rappers like to be associated with.




Due to the fact that a vest displays physique as it presents a masculine, tough and appealing image of course with a typical body type. Some rappers prefer to display their body as it gives them a tough image which is how they want to be acknowledged.
