Over these past two weeks, I have been researching on rap magazines taking into consideration their conventions and production style. After doing this research I noticed that most rap magazines use pictures which are dull and colourful texts, this is to make the text the center of attraction. The images may be dull but they are of a high quality, some images are black and white. I also noticed that most rap magazines have their main image over the masthead, this connotes power and domination which is what rap music represents. As a result of this research I have to improve on my ideas for my final production so that it meets the conventions of the genre. I was able to complete my front cover but after doing this research I realised that it needed some changes. This coming week I will be improving on the work which I've already done and start creating my contents page.
General comments: work coming along well this week, Sanusia.
