This is my front cover this cover has been inspired by Tupac’s most recognisable iconic image of Tupac. I made my model use props and instructed him to pose like tupac’s iconic image. The name Tupac is in gold because it raises the status of the rapper and glorifies his name. I used the word “exclusive” to show it’s a rare article only for my audience, this would attract my audience by making them feel like they’re going to read a rare but special article on Tupac. The masthead attracts audiences because it plays with the name Lord x, the X is in the letter O, the letter X is in read because read, black and white are the theme colours of lord X magazine. These simple colours attracts my audience because it’s not colourful like kid magazines but not dull like older adults magazines. The lour for a discount for Tupac’s album is in gold star to attract audiences into making them read my magazine actively looking for the discount code .

Same prop

Same facial expression

Same angle shot

My context page was inspired by XXL A side and B side however I put a twist to my context page. Instead of having A side and B side Lord X magazine has Hell Side and Heaven Side. Hell side magazines are negative/critical articles about events or artists and Heaven side is positive articles about events or artist . The reason Heaven and hell was used is because it is Lord x theme; just like religious people believe the lord chooses who goes heaven or hell, Lord x magazine chooses which articles goes to heaven side or hell side. This will attract audiences because it is a very bold theme but also very easy to understand

The image I used in my double page spread will attract my audience because they will easily be able to recognise it is an iconic image of tupac. The image is a full bleed image and covers 1/3 of the second page, the second page is where the article is written, this has a positive effect because my target audience prefer simplicity. The title “Living the thug life” coloured red this attracts my audience because red is a connotation for danger or love. In this case red can be applied to both love and danger because the connotation can be used to show Tupac Love for a Dangerous thug lifestyle.
