Evaluation of my magazine

3. Analysis
 I tried to idealise my front cover with other R&B front covers.
For example I based my picture at a mid-shot and made sure I
picked a model with tattoos to create the edgy and gangster
look. Furthermore, I made sure my artist was wearing
designer because in this day an age fans look up to artists who
have such things. Popular designers such as Ralph Lauren,
Fendi and True Religion are brands popular around my target
audience. Additionally, just like V IBE, I tried to make
my masthead unique through THEDROP and always having a
pound sign in my own which would sustain my magazines
identity. Also in the barcode I put my masthead there again
just making the identity of the magazine know and something
that the reader would get use to,

5. Analysis
The camera shot I used was a long shot which helped me
show my genre conventions through my dress code and
body language. I done this by having the low trouser look
and the colour of the clothes that my artist is wearing to
match the colours of text. Additionally, I used a consistent
use of black and red to represent a grimey and
confrontational type of look as my star is almost looking
upon the reader which also portrays this. Furthermore, I
made sure the top of my star was off to emphasise the
image of the star which relates to the genre as he also has
his top off on the front page. Also my contents is not joined
together which evokes the R&B type of look which brakes
the rules and gives a different vibe.

7. Analysis
 The camera shot I used here was a two shot and this was
used here to emphasize the connection between the child
and the father. I tried to apply similar genre conventions
by making the NW together and still use the same
colours throughout (black and red). Although it is a two
shot I also put it at a high angle to belittle the star as he is
meant to be this confrontational, arrogant and
provocative character but belittled due to have to show
affection for his child. Additionally, I used drop quotes
on the main image where I used play on words to relate
with the picture and I also used a drop capital in my
article in red to clearly show the beginning of the article
and still using the same colours through out.
