This double page spread clearly belongs to a magazine of a hip hop genre. This is shown by the use of the main image. The black male artist is typically who you would expect to be involved in this genre. This targets other black males. The graffiti and sly look of the artist implies he is being rebellious along with the presence of messy alcohol bottles. This suggests a younger TA of black teenage males is the main audience because they are stereotypically rebellious and up to no good. The large bold black sans serif font of the title ‘from tags to riches’ is positioned at edgy angles to further the rebellious – rule breaking persona of the TA. The colour black has masculine connotations and is often linked with trouble/danger e.g. on the dark side. The mentioning of tags can connote to the punishment with the police and getting into trouble as a teen or the frowned upon hobby of ‘tagging’ your street name which is typically a common act from black youth. This image is conforming to the stereotype that young black teens are often caught up in crime and drugs/alcohol.
