2. Front Page
Innovative Font: the
font in this magazine
cover is very different,
and controversial,
compared to the fonts
of other magazines
Web 2.0:This magazine
targets younger readers,
and using thisWeb 2.0, the
magazine can target any
user of this social network.
Creative, aesthetic
background, and
colour combination.
Slogan:Allow readers to
associate the magazine
to something, and
allows the reader to
gain understanding of
what the magazine is
going to be about, after
just reading half a
sentence
Minor editing
mistake in eye the
eye of the actor,
where the paint
wasn’t filled in
properly
Use of slang
makes the
magazine more
appealing to
younger readers.
Actually quite expensive, especially
if it is aimed at teenagers, or young
adults.Would they be willing to pay
5 pounds for 15 exclusive pages?
The font has a graffiti style to make it
iconic for the hip hop genre
The slogan connotes that the genre is a
whole culture and lifestyle
Medium Shot connotes the artists confidence, and the
fact that he doesn’t address the camera could mean
that he is aware of what is o0n the street
3. Contents Page
The yellow is too light
compared to the white
background, which doesn’t
make it comfortable to
read
Web 2.0 now
doesn’t just
apply to
Facebook, but
the magazine
also uses it on
twitter, to
widen its
audience even
more.
The long shot is
taken from slight high
angle, which
connotes the
pressure this artist is
under
The Splash communicates
the amount and variety of
content, which appeals to
an audience with not
much money.
Unorganised page numbering,
the page numbers are all over
the place, and although it ads a
sort of young teenage feeling to
the page, the read3ers will find
it hard to actually find what
they are looking for without a
structure.
Same actor used in
both pictures, makes
the pictures boring to
the reader especially
because the person is
wearing the same
outfit
It embodies a certain attitude of graffitiing
school books
The Medium Shot connotes the
rappers confidence.
4. Double Page Spread
Good idea
talking about
the rappers
outfit, as the
fans would
ant to dress
similarly
Outfit features
don’t belong on the
interview page,
there should be as
separate page for
the artists outfit
Good use of
pictures, showing
the opposition,
lets the audience
visualise the
interview.
It’s a good idea to use pull quotes
from artists, as the reader can
then actually understand the way
that the artist thinks and acts,
which is very interesting for a fan
The background picture is a picture of a bench, I think
the background picture should either have more to do
with the interview, the genre or the rapper.
Also Rap is more of an urban genre, but the bench is
more of a rural image.
The text is about DJ
Lou, but it is not an
interview, as there are
no question for the
DJ, so the title is
inaccurate
Same background
picture used again,
which doesn’t suit the
page.
Good Picture, with nice
colour effects.
Also gives the audience an
insight on what the concert
was like.This gives them
the information they want
to gain from Uses and
GratificationsTheory
The opposition between
the rappers is a
recognizable narrative
structure for an
unsophisticated audience.
