Front Cover Final Cut

This is the final cut of my front cover for my magazine. As you can see I have kept some features the same as my first draft, but many features have changed due to audience, peer and teacher feedback. I have kept the top banner and bottom banner the same due to the positive comments I received about them, they are also conventional of a music magazine. Another feature I have kept the same is the information about the main article inside. Again I kept this because of the good feedback I received about it, I also kept it because I like the fact it gives away the style of the artist through colouring and the font type. I have kept the same photo that I decided to use in my rap front cover rough cut as it looked conventional of the genre due to the mise en scene of the models. I liked the setting because it gives mystery to the artists and article because of the dark cave background behind them. I then added in some of the features that I created for my rap rough cut. This makes the overall design look like a hip hop magazine, especially with the new font 'Coluna'. Finally I changed the language used in the text. This helps to attract the target audience as they will instantly recognise it as a hip hop magazine. Furthermore, using this distinct slang targets the audience through synthetic personalisation by using shared deictic knowledge they can use for diversion and personal identity.
