How My Magazine represents people. By Kyle Turner

Fonts

The Fonts in my magazine help build a conventional representation of the hip-hop genre. Throughout my magazine the fonts are bold and eye-catching. They follow a specific colour-scheme, of black and red throughout and are mostly in capital letters.

The use of bold capital letters give reference to the artist themselves , connotes the artists to be strong and confident. Also the font that I have used are sans serif as they visually seem more masculine which appeals to my target audience, which is mainly dominated.

Colour-scheme

• The colour-scheme I have used throughout my magazine signifies the artists in which the colour red and black connote aggression and dominance typically associated with hip-hop artists , so therefore by using this colour-scheme, I’m conveying the artists personality and representation through the use of colours.

Images

• The use of my images and the shot-types I have used create a conventional representation on the hip-hop genre in many ways. For example on my contents page I have used a low-angle shot to show the artists as intimidating, powerful and dominant as does the facial expressions in the rest of my magazine such as the image of the artist on my front cover. The facial expressions of anger and aggression help represent the artist and the style of music hip-hop is.
