Important Codes & Conventions of a Hip-Hop/Rap Music Magazine

The most important codes and conventions of a music magazine based on my research are:

The colour used in a magazine are key feature of a music magazine because the colours are the first thing that the reader will look and if they are dull the reader won't pick up the magazine. have also learned that there are normally three to four colours used all through the magazine this is because it ,ales it easier to read for the reader and makes it look neat. The artist on the front cover are normally wearing the same colour clothes as one of the colour which links into the colour scheme. Every music magazine has a different colour theme this is because it gives it different and a distinctive look.

The picture which is used on a font cover of a music magazine front cover id normally a mid-shot( from the waist to the head) this is important because it show the reader the posture of the artist and how they are dressed but they can still be the facial expressions.the picture is also normally placed in the middle and starting from the heading all the way to the bottom. The angle of gaze on magazine is at the reader which can make the reader feels as the artist is looking at them.

The font is another important part of a music magazine because it has to look appealing to the reader for them to purchase the magazine so by using basic font such as Arial it will not attract the readers attention and they ,ay not purchase the magazine. Normally in a magazine one font is used all through the magazine but the font size changes only this is so it makes it easier for the reader or read the magazine.
