My Magazine Cover, Contents and double page spread

Language and register

The language used is to try and attract the audience that this type of slang appeals to. By using this language and picking words which aren't generic to our usual vocabulary allows the magazine to feel unique to this genre of music. The use of cover lines and ideas of what they can achieve from reading this magazine can attract the necessary audience. The register is informal and creates a different atmosphere than many magazines as the particular words used

Representation

In many of my photos the pictures contain sharp and smart clothing that references to the age and gender I am aiming for. Ages from 13 to 25 are targeted with this as this is the clothing that may be associated with this age range. In other magazines of this genre it contains similar clothing and both reflect the audience aimed towards, this is due to the use of clothing and colouring used throughout the magazine, these consist of red, black and white. This gives the magazines I researched and my own a darker effect constantly referring back to the genre choice, this is also done in the writing and language with slang applying to the genre of hip hop. In many magazines I researched the words 'hella' and 'yadimi' were consistent throughout although I did not use these regularly in my own magazine there is a sporadic effect of hip hop slang.

My target audience

My target audience is 12 to 30 years of age; this category is mainly based at men as this is the audience of this genre of magazines. Due to this being the audience I chose a different type of language as introduced slang to my front page. This was to attract people to the cover and be interested in reading this and applying to their needs or what they want. This is done through cover lines to introduce to them what is inside and why they should use this. Things such as 50 greatest rap hits makes many people be interested of what songs will be done in this. Many of my images also relate to my audience as they may be seen as that culture and style of music, the writing to match these photos help clearly present my theme.

Magazine Analysis

There is very clear title of Forbez which overlaps the image and is shown very clearly in bold. We also see from the 2 white lines it separates it from the other writing. The other writing is used to suit the background and stand out, the use of blue gives the idea of it being the subtitle and the blue the smaller information.

in this magazine the layout is very creative as it shows a white plain background but also very colorful within the white just behind the main picture. the use of colour and white helps it stand out and catch your eye. The way the writing is presented is also very creative as it adapts to the style it approaches. The use of bold lettering for titles and the dramatic difference in size helps draw your eye and understand what each section contains.

The language is very short and snappy allowing you not to get bored these are very simple words and only title within the magazine. The main words and titling of the magazine cover is in bold and larger font. Use of serif font helps give the idea of swiftness. The vocabulary used within the cover is simple and words that may apply to the reader, these are short words but large font to capture attention.

On this magazine cover we see it very plain but clear title this is adapted from the American style magazine. This is as American magazines tend to be plain with a large image and title dominating the cover. The use of the 3 colours helps control the cover and gives the magazine the colour theme through the picture.

The camera work is captured to give the idea he doesn't know the camera is there. This helps make the reader look and think he isn't posing for the picture. The use of shot is an extreme long shot; this is capturing his whole body.

We see from his costume he is showing he looks professional and wearing a suit, this is also a very smartly dressed guy making people want to look like him.

We see the use of colour as very dark and the picture blend into the darkness. This allows the brightly coloured text to stand out over the picture, the use of the size of text helps allow your eye to get attracted to the writing immediately. we see the title not be so clear as the image overlaps it showing its the subject. They use very bold and colourful writing to stand out on the front cover this is to fit with the picture which is usually very bright and to fit the writing.
