Final Pitch

2. Cover Page
In the end I decided to call my magazine ‘The Classic’ as the magazine is
supposed to commemorate old rappers such as Tupac, Notorious B.I.G, Ice Cube
and Mobb Deep, which revolutionised Rap, and were/are the classic rappers.
The Masthead will be written in a swirly writing, to make the magazine seem
classy and sophisticated, and to portray the flow and smoothness of Hip-Hop.
The stereotypical, hegemonic view of Hip-Hop fans is that they are in the income
group C2-E, and that it is sort of urban ‘from the street’ music.
But looking at my audience profiling I researched the Demographics from the
XXL magazine, which showed that Hip Hop has actually broken of this
stereotypical income bracket, to become more mainstream, which also makes
the £5 pound cover price more legitimate
The Masthead will be gold, as the combination of gold and black seemed very
popular in my questionnaire, and it represents the static symbols associated
with Rap/Hip Hop. The magazine cover will have a black rim, and be white in the
middle.
There will be a big Medium Close Up in the centre of the page. The subtitles will
be listed on the left side of the cover.
The price and the barcode will be at the bottom left of the magazine cover.

4. Content Page
On my content Page, I will take along shot of one of
my actors, which will cover most of the left hand
side of the Page. On the right of the Picture will be all
of the contents , listed in chronological order, and
with the most exciting articles highlighted. The
highlighted conents will also have a brief on
sentence summary of the content of the article
underneath.
The headline on top of the page will be ‘!!!!!’written
in a black bold font, but it is important that the
content page doesn’t get clustered, as it doesn’t
make it comfortable to read.

6. Double Page Spread
The Interview, which will be written down in the form of a
transcript will cover both pages, but there will also be several
pictures. One picture will be on the top of the page. This picture
will show artist sitting on chair, so the reader can actually
almost imagine them self talking to him.
Below the picture, the text start. In the middle of the page, on
the wrote side will then be a smaller the picture of the artist
standing on the red carpet, to convey the importance of the
rapper.
The text will continue on the left side, and there will be another
larger image of the rapper standing on stage, which will cover
the whole bottom of the second page.
