Research into magazine cover;







These are all images of rap magazines we looked at to get inspiration for ours. As you can see there are females as well as males on these magazines, and the females are centre of the image, looking strong and fierce, this is why we chose RAP genre for our magazine, as it continues our idea of strong females being the focus point.
You can see from these images that the colours are bright and bold with the image being the strong focus point, which is what we wish to emulate in our cover, using a picture of the band from our photo shoot. There is also a bar code and date, along with the price in one of the corners of the magazine, which we will emulate. The image we are going to use for the magazine shows us in string vests, converse, and adidas, which sticks to the conventions of a rap music video better than any other magazine we believe.

As you can see here the female is the main focus for the reader, followed by bold colours, with consistent text on the side. We will conform to this idea, using pinks and blacks, however, we will not have the amount of writing that is on this image, as I believe it is taking away from the image.
Hopefully, using all of these techniques, and trying to emulate similar ideas, our magazine cover will look professional, and conform to the conventions of the rap genre.
