The document provides guidelines for designing magazine covers and layouts targeting urban music audiences. It recommends that the masthead be in a bright color to stand out from the background, and be short and eye-catching. The main image should feature an attractive hip hop artist to appeal to readers, and the lead article should relate to the artist. Cover lines promote other artists in the same genre to draw readers in.

2. MASTHEAD AND COVER LINES
Cover lines usually match with main background. Also never out run the
main image of the artist so focus is always on them. Masthead
presented in a bright colour to
repudiate its main background so it attracts the reader. Masthead also
short, simple and eye catching.

3. COVER LINES AND SELLING LINES
-No selling lines so magazine is more presentable to their target audience.
Cover lines including stories of other artists in the same genre to attract
readers into the urban music scene.

4. MAIN IMAGE
Main image of an attractive hip hop artist to attract the opposite sex of
people into the urban music scene. Lead article matching with main
image to present more clearly that they are of the same story. Moreover
the certain pose of the artist seems dramatic to look more professional.

5. SUMMARY
Many artists of today are of R’n’B genre’s so I will do
research into the types of clothes they wear and how they
wear their hair and make-up. Therefore I will be able to
take a professional photo of someone for my magazine
so it looks more realistic to be R’n’B. the photos will be
taken in the studio in the media department in college.
Moreover I have friends that also have an interest in R’n’B
music and are influenced by it so it will be easy to find
someone for my magazine. Also with the research I have
done today, I know how to set out my magazine so no
cover lines outrun the main image.
