MASTHEAD AND COVER LINES

Cover lines usually match with main background. Also never out run the main image of the artist so focus is always on them. Masthead presented in a bright colour to

repudiate its main background so it attracts the reader. Masthead also short, simple and eye catching.

COVER LINES AND SELLING LINES

-No selling lines so magazine is more presentable to their target audience. Cover lines including stories of other artists in the same genre to attract readers into the urban music scene.

MAIN IMAGE

Main image of an attractive hip hop artist to attract the opposite sex of people into the urban music scene. Lead article matching with main image to present more clearly that they are of the same story. Moreover the certain pose of the artist seems dramatic to look more professional.

SUMMARY

Many artists of today are of R’n’B genre’s so I will do research into the types of clothes they wear and how they wear their hair and make-up. Therefore I will be able to take a professional photo of someone for my magazine so it looks more realistic to be R’n’B. the photos will be taken in the studio in the media department in college.

Moreover I have friends that also have an interest in R’n’B music and are influenced by it so it will be easy to find someone for my magazine. Also with the research I have done today, I know how to set out my magazine so no cover lines outrun the main image.
