This is a contents page from The Source that I have found, it
features Kendrick Lamar as the main article. The whole contents page bases
around an image of Kendrick Lamar which fits the conventions of hip/hop, the
everybody look at me idea. This would be a key
convention of my magazine, however I do want to feature a few more artists on
the contents page so I would include a couple smaller images out the way of the
main image. All the font on the page is in black apart from the main
article page number which is red. Again this helps the main artist stand out
from the rest. So far it has all been presented as a
competition which helps reinforce the rap ideas of everyone against everyone. I
will use the same code while designing my magazine to fit the conventions of
rap/hip hop. The listing for the page numbers has been placed in the
left third in a small font size. This has been done to put more attention on
the image, however they have arranged the text in front of the image. This
means it can still be read and spotted, as well as adding a 3D effect to the
graphology. It is placed freely on the page with no borders or banners, the
only thing that separates the text is the shade and size. This is a good effect to work with the white background but I
want to use more than one image. This means I'll have to use something to separate
the text and the various images. I have the idea of using black lines to
separate the information for each page and boxes for the additional images,
however I will allow the main image to the main photo to add importance in
order to stick to the conventions. The language used is different from
all the other magazines that I have analysed. They all converge to language
used by rappers, probably ones they are featuring. I
will have to used a distinct language when writing in my contents page, when it
comes to some of the more important text they have used standard English so I
may do this as well. I will have to focus on using slang and creating an
idiolect around rappers language.Sunday, 23 February 2014
