Magazine cover

Examples of other magazine covers

This magazine cover is showing the artist Missy Elliott. The hodie, the chunky necklace and the earings suggests that she specialises in the rap genre. This also shows the representation of her age- just by looking at this cover, we can guess thats he is in her mid twenties because of her overall look. The way she is standing with her hands on her hips and looking suggests the conventional attitude that poeple may have whilst listening to this genre, creatibg a sense of her being the role model for others with the same interest.

The image if composed so that it contrencrates on these aspects and so that the audience will know straight away that this is a rap artist.
The logo of the magazine itself is behind the artist, making her stand out and showing her importance. Other text is hip hop like too for that it is bold and simple. The writing on her necklace spells 'cancer' with a picture of the star sign, already showing a bit of information about her.
The use of colour is quite clever here because the artist's clothing refelcts the colour of the background, and the text, suggesting the importance and respect for this artist.
