The author redesigned their music magazine to better suit the hip hop genre. They replaced images and props with baseball caps and altered the front cover by stripping the background and replacing the main image. This made the magazine appear more professional. The color scheme was reduced to mainly dark red and white throughout to add continuity. The layers and separated titles on content pages made the text more readable. The double page spread now had a faded background image and main title, unlike the previous version. Overall, the redesign with a consistent color scheme and planned composition created a professional magazine adhering to hip hop characteristics.

2. My previous version of my music magazine did not completely suite the genre type of
Hip Hop, as a result I had to re shoot and collect images with different props to make it
relevant to the genre such as baseball caps. The main front cover of my new magazine
was altered to a great extent in comparison to my previous version. The background was
stripped of and replaced with a plain white background and the main image was
replaced with the intention of having high quality image. The result of this instantly
made my magazine appear more professional. The colour scheme was reduced to
mainly two colours, dark red and white. This was kept throughout the entire magazine
which adds to the contingency and keeps the professionalism throughout the content
and double page spread. The layers on the content page made more sensible to read
because of the composition of the letterings and separated titles, whereas in the
previous version my music magazine looked disfigured and did not keep the same style
and format through each page. My double page spread in the new version contained
more visual effects , such as a faded image in the background and had a main title to
highlight the purpose of the content. The previous version had no title and the colour
scheme was too mixed, which made the double page spread look un professional by
having no relevance to the entire magazine itself. Overall there has been a major visual
change to the my music magazine, the final version looks and fits the genre of my
intention, Hip Hop, with the same colour scheme provided throughout the entire
magazine and the use of planned composition and layering created a professional music
magazine which is adhering to Hip Hop characteristics of challenges, challenging the
ideology of Hip Hop as being not serious in comparison to other genres such as classical
and jazz. And it surely does not seem like a woman's pop magazine such as my previous
version.
