9. Which of these magazine covers do you find the most appealing?
50 Cent – 3
TI – 3
Ciara –4
50 Cent –Because the background and the main image relate as the background is
an explosion and it shows that 50 Cent is back with a bang and they incorporate this
into the image with an explosion.
TI – Because it is a striking image as it catches theaudience’s attention straight away
and they like how the writing is set out.
Ciara –Because she looks very sexy and she has the sex appeal as she is wearing a
tight dress showing of her assets.

see on the front cover of a music magazine that would attract you to it
The things that they expected the men to wear were bling, jewellery, caps,
and they would be big and muscular and gangster looking.
The women would have the sex appeal and look very sexy with tight clothing;
there would be some nudity on some covers. For both men and women the
image would be dominating most of the page.
11. What would you like to see on the front cover of an R&B/Hip Hop music
magazine?
Everybody said that they would like to see a main image of the artists and it
should be dominating the page. Also there should be bright colours, with a bit
of writing on the page, and the image should be attractive so if it is a woman
they should look sexy and if it is a man then they should look gangster like
wearing chains, and necklaces.
12. What would you like to see on the contents page of an R&B/Hip Hop music
magazine?
Most people said that they would like to see concert dates on the contents
page, a few different images, and news about artists and bands and a bit of
gossip.
13. What would you like to see on the double page spread article in an R&B/hip
Hop music magazine?
All of the people said that there should be an article based on one particular
artist or band, with one main image. There should be some gossip about
celebrities and have a top 40 singles chart.
