{My Chosen Genres

The magazine genre which I have chosen to make is Rap as I find it easier to relate to. The reason is that I have grown up with rap artist playing in the background, this gives me an advantage as I am the target audience. I will stick to the colour scheme of rap magazine of bright colours as I want to appeal to my target audience.

XXL

The music genre that I have chosen to do is Rap. The best known magazines for this genre is XXL, VIBE and RWD.

The known artist of these genres are people like 2 pac, Jay Z and 50 Cent.

The target audience is late teens and early adults as this is the age where they are exposed to these types of music and artist. Its quite varied between an audience if both girls and boys as many female artist are breaking into the game.

RnB Rap

The simple colours are used which are mainly grey, red and white.

Masthead uses all caps until the letter ‘’E’’. This allows the main image to stand out.

Lead image is Trey Songz and he fits in the colour scheme as he is wearing white underwear .

Mostly Ariel bold, and it’s all in caps, this shows that everything is important and allows it to stand out more.

The sub tittles all use large caps and bold text so that it is easy to read.
