4. For a rap magazine cover, the audience would expect to see a very well
known rapper on the front cover, gold jewelry, cigarettes, stacks of money,
designer clothes. The angle of the main image would either be close up or low
angle shot to show that they are big, powerful and strong, have an angry facial
expression to make them look intimidating and powerful. Artists will be in
front of the magazine masthead to show that they are powerful and it makes
them stand out. Sometimes feature females on front covers but mostly male,
has a stereotypical view of women as being sex objects.
AUDIENCE AND STEREOTYPES

6. The convections of a rap magazine are that the model in the magazine is
usually in front of the title of the magazine. This is showing that the model is
more important and dominant than the magazine. Also, they usually use a
plain background so you will focus more on the model as the main image.
Because if there was a detailed background the readers attention may become
more divided onto looking at the background more making the model look
less powerful.
The layout of rap magazines are normally simple. With a title, cover lines,
and a title. The main image is placed at the center of the magazine with the
cover lines around the model.
CONVECTIONS

7. For my production to be successful I will have to include a big main image
of a well known artist to attract more readers. Also, I will use a plain
background so the model has more power. The model will be in front of the
title of the magazine so the model is ‘seen’ as being more important than the
title of the magazine.
I will use cover lines around the model and overall make the magazine look
simple with just one main image.
