noticeable and is consistent through out the magazine, the use of white and red is distinctive,
though he color scheme consist of mainly two colors, its simplicity makes it stand out and thus
aesthetically pleasing. The aspects of the design that makes it unique is the circular shape on
the first image and the mixture of yellow and red blends well together to make the stamp look
more interesting. Through the use of a scratched and worn out effect, makes the stamp look
look more realistic and interesting thus contributes to attracting the reader. Like the stamp on
the front cover, the stamp is tilted, this slight change still help make the image look more
interesting. The second image is informal

10. The artist uses similar clothes, to keep a consistency and to indicate what music genre the
magazine is to the reader. The first and third images are affective in attracting the reader

the contents on each page the facial expressions of the artist indicates the music genre of
the magazine, due to it looking arrogant and intimidating, the clothes of the artist wears
further indicates that the magazine is a rap/ hip hop magazine.
