8. Black & white
make central
image stand out
The mastheads of hip-hop magazines are
usually covered by the large central images
on the front page. The colour scheme will
relate to the other colours seen on the front
page, this helps every element on the front
page to blend in.

9. Contents page Analysis
This contents page has one main image of a
famous musician. The colour scheme is very
simple, there are only three main colours which
are black white and different shades of grey.
The artist that is on the contents page has an
emotionless face and is giving a direct gaze at
the camera, this shows that he is very confident
and wants your attention. You can see a female
arm which goes over his shoulder to touch him,
the woman's hand is touching a red flower, the
colour red is very sexual, the amount of red is
small but is effective and it clearly stands out of
the rest of the image. The text on the contents
page is small and there is not allot of it, the
creators of this contents page want you to focus
on the artist rather than the text.

10. Contents page Analysis
This contents page has simple dark colours. The
artist on the contents page has an emotionless
face and is wearing glasses, he is also standing
up strait and facing the camera, this help to
show his confidence and shows that he is not
afraid. This helps invite the reader into the
magazine. The text is very small compared to
the main image, this is so you concentrate on
the artist rather than the text.

11. Front cover Analysis
This magazine cover has a famous rapper
on the cover. This will appeal to people
who enjoy rap and hip hop music. The
image also takes up a majority of the
space on the cover. This is so you will
immediately notice him. The magazine
also has some text on the right and left
side this will also let people know what
else the magazine includes. The logo of
the magazine is also covered this is
because the magazine wants you to be
interested in the news and not the brand.

12. Front Cover Analysis
This magazine has a rhetorical
question in big bold writing on the
cover, this make the reader more
interested as they will want to find
out more about the subject. This
magazine also has many images
on the cover; this gives the readers
a sneak peak of what is included
in the magazine.
