1. Question 1
• My masthead uses the conventions of another rap magazine. The
masthead I have used is very bold and it is black. I have used black
because the genre portrays the colour because black is a strong and
violent colour as the genre ‘rap’ portrays violence and it is a very
strong genre. My front cover picture I used was a copy as it is
Eminem but I wanted Tobi to portray Eminem’s pose as his pose
links to genre as his face is blank with no emotion. The colours I
have created to my own knowledge as I have wrote everything in
black but, when I write a name I have put the name in red to show
the importance of the names and the red shows aggression and
violence links with the artists as their songs are rap which is
aggressive and violent.

2. • On my contents page, my subtitles use the conventions of another
rap magazine as I have used a decorative font to show the topics of
what are going to be in my magazine and the writing is to make it
eye-catching. The names I have wrote are bold and colourful as
they’re noticeable and show the important part of the article and
the conventions are shown in another rap magazine. I used the
conventions of Vibe magazine but, added more pictures and text as
I think it makes the contents page more informative.

3. • My double page spread conventions which are used from another
rap magazine is the layout where I have layered a picture on one of
the pages and the other page I have got the writing as it takes up
the first page on one page and has an equal share of writing and a
picture. The pull quote I have created without any conventions from
another magazine and I have created the first line in a smaller font
as it is not as important as they second line because double page
spread is about Eminem and the second line includes Eminem.
