Front Cover Image I chose this image for the front cover of my magazine because I believe this image shows just how Grime artists act and what they wear. I decided to make the picture black and white because the genre Grime doesn’t really have a lot of colour in it in terms of its music talking mostly about problems the artist faced whilst growing up and stuff like that. The dull look of the artist face also gives effect to black and white background. I chose to take the photo on my sofa because it shows how the genre is not that big and it shows the audience that the person is not that rich and essentially that he is just an unknown artist who is trying to breakthrough and become a star. The champagne could suggest that the artist maybe likes to party but this is all up the audience’s interpretation.

Front Cover Image

I chose this image for the front cover of my magazine because

I believe this image shows just how Grime artists act and what they wear.

I decided to make the picture black and white because the genre Grime doesn’t really have a lot of colour in it in terms of its music talking mostly about problems the artist faced whilst growing up and stuff like that. The dull look of the artist face also gives effect to black and white background.

I chose to take the photo on my sofa because it shows how the genre is not that big and it shows the audience that the person is not that rich and essentially that he is just an unknown artist who is trying to breakthrough and become a star. The champagne could suggest that the artist maybe likes to party but this is all up the audience’s interpretation.

Contents Page Image

I chose this as my feature picture in my contents page because it shows a different side to the artist and a contrast from the front cover however despite the contrast you’re still able to link the front cover and the contents page together. The artist has the champagne bottle in his hands this time which could infer that he is about to celebrate something.

His facial expression is still serious to an extent however, it looks as if saying “come try me” and

this fits into the genre really well because Grime artists are seen as quite confrontational people. His facial expression could suggest he is content with the success he has had but would like to achieve more and until then he will continue to put a straight face on.

With both the front cover image and the contents page image there is no sense of location which could infer that the genre doesn’t like to reveal much to its audience.

From my improvements, I made my sub-headings smaller in order to show more of my central image and attract the target audience. It was also suggested that I should add at least one or more sub headings on the right hand side of the magazine, however, I decided against doing this because I felt that by adding more sub-headings it would take away the attention off the main image.

This is my finished Contents page, after getting my feedback I again made my sub-headings smaller in order to show more of my central image and attract the target audience. In addition to that it was suggested that I space out my contents number because in a real magazine most pages are advertisements.
