Not much text only includes puff, banners, sell lines etc. Bright contrasting colours are used to attract the reader.

The models/artists look sexy because ‘sex sells’. They are posed like this to attract a male audience as well as female. Their clothes are very bright, funky and cool which reflects individual personality as well as the personality of the magazine.

Some of the text and clothing colour match to make the cover look orderly and exciting.

The header is a bold and plain black to detract from all the colours used and keep the magazine looking sophisticated and classy. It also has an arrow pointing upwards as a signature trademark for the magazine, it is also a clever play of words because the magazine is called “RAP – UP”

Colour palette: 3 main colours orange/peach, yellow and pink. Sticking to 3 main colours is good because it makes the page look organised and not to cluttered.

Bold black cover lines so the reader knows exactly who and what is going to be featured in the magazine.

Banners on a coloured background once again to make the main articles stand out even more.
