Reader Profile of $wank Magazine

Shawn, 19, lives and breathes hip-hop. He doesn’t listen to any other genre but hip-hop, branching off into all forms of it, enjoying the latest stuff on the market and the old-school classics. When he is  not listening to music in his free time he is either watching hip-hop movies, his favourites being ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’, ‘Notorious’ and  ‘8 Mile’ or reading up on the internet hunting down album/mixtape  rumours, concert news or new up-and-coming artists. He has a job with a rather low-pay salary, meaning the low cost of ‘$wank’ appeals to him greatly. When he is not spending his money on concert tickets or albums he is always ensuring that his wardrobe is in prestige condition. Although his income isn’t great he needs to make sure that the clothes he is wearing are perfect, he aspires to dress like some of his favourite rappers but is restricted sometimes financially when his favourite rappers are wearing 20,000 dollar gold chains. He likes ‘$wank’ magazine because it provides him with all of the news he needs in one place, saving him all the internet browsing time he uses. The magazine will provide him with a monthly summary of everything in the hip-hop world and he needs to be staying up-to-date.
