4. The Becky Takeover
In the contents competitions are
clearly highlighted and you can tell
they are a big part of the magazine,
competitions allows the reader to get
involved
The ask Kayla and Iyke is a
segment in the magazine that
the reader can send in
questions and they will be
answered by Kayla and Iyke
in the magazine. This allows
interaction between the reader
and the magazine and makes
the reader feel involved
The rumour bay is fascinating as it gives
you all the rumours and tells you which ones
are true. This is interesting as everyone
wants in on the gossip.
Trends of the month is good as it
diversifies the magazine as it goes
into fashion, and what artists
themselves are wearing.
HMT 50 (hottest mix tapes) allows the
reader to see what are the best selling and
trending songs of the month, this allows
the reader to keep up to date easily.
5. The price of the magazine
is affordable
The story on AndreyHD almost dying and the
image of him with his fingers making the shape
of a gun catches your eye which draws your
attention to the magazine.
The magazine little extras
like exclusive revealing's like
the latest album artwork. The
magazine has many things
going on.
6. The personal touches the magazine includes are
nice, it incorporates social media and social media
is a big part of teenagers lives.
The double page spread has a
lot going on which makes it
exciting to look at. The
biography is a nice touch
because you really get to
understand the upcoming
artist and know where they
came from and what they did
also how they made it.
7. To the left is XXL magazines double page spread. My double page spread
follows a similar layout. There is a main image like mine and the main image is
black and white. My magazine is different as it has more pictures and features
both a biography and a Q&A with the artist which is something you don’t tend
to see.
8. The contents pages are similar with both a variety of images in different sizes.
The contents pages both feature at least one black and white image. The
contents page is used to promote items such as the shoes and my contents
page is used to promote beats by the Safar the producer. My contents page
follows the conventions of a hip hop magazine. As it follows the colour
scheme of red white black And grey.
9. Many hip hop magazines have a close up image of a famous artist of that
category. My front cover follows this convention. My magazine cover is also
different as it has a wallpaper background of artists in the hip hop and rap
category. My music magazine cover also has more cover lines. I also used
different text type throughout the cover to make things stand out.
