music magazine front cover analysis

 

The genre of this magazine is R and B, this is reflected in the way the masthead is written, the name of the magazine is written in diamonds this also reflects the bling worn by the artists on the front cover. The fact that both artists are wearing lots of chains shows off their wealth in an obvious way, this contrast with the background which is a rundown house which imitates the ghetto areas and gang culture and it relates with the R and B and rap style of the magazine. Also the fact that Lil Wayne is wearing a 'young money' necklace simbolises his record lable.

 Both artists are also topless, this makes them look big and shows off their muscles, the tattoos on them shows off their masculinity, because they have so much on them it makes them look more like a man, this is because when getting tattoos you get it done with a needle which would hurt, this reveals that they went through a lot of pain to get the tattoos.  The fact that they are wearing hats could connote that they are promoting the hats so that their fans would also buy the hats, also the fact that they both have their trousers low shows the conventional side of the R and B genre, including the head tilt by both artists represents their superiority.  The fact that baby has his hands over Lil Wayne suggests that he is looking after him or protecting him as a brother. It also correspondences with his name ‘Lil’.

The whole magazine is in black, white and red. The colour flows throughout the front cover of the magazine, the colours relate to the theme of R and B. The puff on the top of the magazine uses alliteration; this makes the puff catchy and easier to learn. It also echoes the artist as being the best and dominant among the R and B industry it adds to the status of the magazine. there is also another puff "10th Anniversary our best issue ever" boasts the magazines greatness.

overall this music magazine appeals to a wide audience because of its main image. it confirms to the sterotype of the Hip Hop genera which is power and wealth and so it reaches out to Hip Hop audience.

planning of main article

this is what my double spread article might look like:

2010 the era of gilts, glamour and GRIME! The one and only yellow man comes out on top with the most sold record of the year. Having sold his first song just at the age of 14 he is now a worldwide sensation. Here he speaks exclusively to grime magazine about his experience, his life and his relationship with actress ______________.

YELLOW MAN!!

 How did you feel when Sony music promoted you at the age of 14?

It didnt hit me until i came into the studio and sang for the producers, my mum was so proud of me, i never thought i would get so far. one second im just uploading my music on youtube and the next im in a big studio singing to get my music out to the world.

This year has been high for you, what do you think next year will hold?

well next year i will be doing my tour around the uk which im really excited about, i am going to scotland all the way down to brighton. the dates for my tour is on the sony website. i can not wait to see all my fans.

So, we have all heard the rumours about you and Kim its time to let out the truth.
well me and her have become quite close this year i would like to get to know her better and hopefully it can go from there. :)

So if she wasn’t in the picture do you have any secrete crushes?
hahaha well before i used to have a crush on Jessica Alba, i think she is a very gourgous women. :D

So what does the future seem for you and Kim?
i dont know your just going to have to wait and see, but hopefully it will be moving forward and not back.

How do you stay so fit?
I can honestly say that i work out only twice a week. i dont really have much time to go to the gym everyday now, i also eat very healthy mostly because of my mum because as i grew up if i didnt eat my vegatables i did not get desert. so i guess i thank my mum really. :) 

You have been working so hard, do you get any pressure to work this hard?
no, my manager and my friends in the music business just support me and help me get as much as i can out of me. I really want to succeed and have the public hear my songs and want to dance and sing along ot it so even if that means staying up 24/7 just to get the right beat i am willing to do that.
