The masthead vibe is slightly

covered by the main image of the

rapper Eminem which indicates its
popularity as it is already popular
enough to be covered as people are
able to recognise it. The colours of
the masthead are red and black
which also indicates how powerful
the magazine is as both have
connotations of being linked with
power. It could also indicate the
rebellious side of the magazine as
both colours have negative
connotations such as death and
danger which could indicate that
they play a part as a theme in this
issue of the magazine. This could
indicate the magazine is aimed at
people aged 16 and over as they
have more of an understanding of
those two themes, and theyre more
likely to listen to that genre of
music. The denotation of the colour
is that it is read and black to stand
out.

Main image- The main image is one

of the rapper Eminem folding his
arms looking straight into the
camera. His stance indicates that he
is aggressive, also as both of his
arms are covered with tattoos it
suggests that he is rebellious which
links into the connotation of the
colour red in the masthead which
links towards danger. He is also
wearing a black vest which shows he
does have a negative side to him as
dark colours such as the colour black
are associated with mystery, fear
and the unknown. As the main
image is of a famous rapper it shows
it is not aimed at a niche market.

Skyline- this gives an insight to what the

magazine is writing about as well as history
into the rap world. It also says the words
real rap which shows they type of genre of
music being spoken about and also is a way
od=f advertising itself to be the best
magazine when it comes to rap.

Cover lines- The cover lines are

also in the same colours of black
and red, red has the
connotation of being linked
with danger, strength, power,
determination and other
things while black has the
connotation of being linked
with things such as fear and
the unknown this indicates
that these are the main
themes running through the
magazine, it also shows that
the magazine is aimed at
people over 16 as It makes
drug references and people
over 16 are more likely to
understand that concept as
well as listening to rap music.

The cover lines also

indicate what other artists
are being written and
spoken about in this issue
of the magazine. As they
all sing the same type of
genre of music it shows
that one type of genre is
dominant throughout the
whole magazine.

The colour scheme of the

magazine mainly uses the
colours black and red which
as said before are linked
with things such as power,
danger, fear and many more
which shows that these are
the main themes throughout
this issue of the magazine.
The background colour is grey which
shows it is neutral, therefore meaning
that it isnt aimed directly towards any
specific kind of gender
