This magazine has one main image in the middle of the rapper J Cole with a main headline about his new album the publisher uses quotes about the album to emphasis the quality and what people are saying about the album so that the reader will want to read on about the album as it is highly rated. The main colours that are yellow black and white. There is writing at the top that is a large font which would be seen as a title. Another place there is writing is in the centre it is in the centre to be emphasised that this is the main subject of the magazine. There is also writing on the right of the page and the bottom in a smaller font this is to show the other subjects that are involved in the magazine. The target audience is for around 16+ aged people I know this because the music it is based on can be seen as quite explicit and it would also be aimed at people with a interest in rap music. The model is in black and white which is the same colour of his album cover which is the main subject of the magazine by putting him in black and white he also blends in nicely with theme off the magazine. It is typical of its brand name as its brand name is ‘RAPSTARS’ and the magazine is about artist with in the rap/hip hop industry. I think the most effective thing they’ve done in this magazine is made the artist in black and white which links in with his new album cover.

Magazine analysis

The magazine cover I have chosen has one main big title of the magazine name and a lot of smaller writing all over the page to give the reader an insight to what will be inside the magazine. The main colours used on the magazine are white blue and pink. The writing is at the top of the page and down the right and left side of it. The target audience would be for people who are fans as Kanye west as he is the main theme of the magazine and general music lovers as u can see there is a variety of musicians in the magazine. The model looks very serious in the photo and is wearing a jacket that fits in with the theme of the magazine as it is the same colours. The most effective thing about this magazine is the amount of writing on it as this could attract the reader by showing them the variety of things that are in this magazine.
