2. • Like a lot of professional magazines I have seen use the same colours
throughout the cover, contents and double page spread and I believe
mine does that
This red
theme is
continued
throughout
The bold style of writing outlined
is repeated
Like the professional
magazine it has a big
cover image
surrounded by a lot
of text
The barcode
with name
date and
price on
which all
magazines
have

3. It also challenges
forms of real media
products through its
design for instance
the names are
presented in a
similar way to Hip
hop magazine xxl
also similar to
magazines the
names are to try
entice people to buy
it so people that are
interested in hip hop
and know these
names will want to
buy it because it
appeals to them
Like the image on the right you can see
the vary in text and in my magazine the
varied text as well also the special issue
could be a unique selling point and get
people to buy it
I added these plugs to try
attract the readers as I
have seen magazines use
this a lot
I then
added a
banner
which again
is another
magazine
convention
and again
to try
attract the
reader and
tell them a
bit about
what’s
inside the
magazine
Barcode and
price like all
magazines

4. This again is a plug
advertising a
subscription so if
people like it they
can access the
magazine every
time an issue is
brought out
Text from the editor to
make it more personal
to add more of a
sense of community
Bold text with red and white
to continue the theme and
issue no and cover date to
let the reader know

5. The variation of
text with the
theme in mind
drop shadow used
on lady fire to
make it stand out,
and killa h with an
exclamation and
cool text to show
this is important
and draws your
eyes to it
The outlined D at
the start relating
back to the
masthead
Columned
text
Separation between
the pages
