know rapper looking
straight at the camera with
an aggressive expression
The feature article
Is the article that overlaps
The central image and

That tells the audience what they should expect in
the magazine. Non verbal is the central image and if
It has one a secondary image, which shows the expression
And or body language of a rapper which we can infer the
Genre of magazine from.

Primary colours that are flat with no fade
Effects added.

Normally a website.
Mast head
The mast head tells the audience the genre of
the magazine through the use of font colour
size and where its placed. The masthead is
usually found at the top left of the page.
Colour palette
The colours used on a masthead
And magazine tell the audience the
Atmosphere of the magazine weather
It be aggressive, fun, energetic or serious.

The audience. Below is the colour palette.
The gaze

Is looking generally males looks straight
At the audience whereas females shy away
