Music Mock Up Analysis;

The mock up that I have made for the music magazine cover has been heavily influenced by other magazines of the same genre and incorporates colours related with the music. The Masthead, OG, is a phrase used throughout the genre of hip-hop and will appeal to the audience. Whilst investigating other hip-hop magazines I noticed that the colour red appears often in the headlines and cover lines. I have stuck to conventional hip-hop magazine features especially as I am using only one main image on the cover which takes up most of the space of the magazine. The cover lines down in the bottom left is going to be set in a colour that will stand out from the background of the magazine. The gold in the masthead is related to the bling and gold worn by the aritsts.
