I have taken a huge interest for this magazine; a lot of research was taken in to looking for this particular magazine for I had to search through the VIBE, XXL, TheSource mags. What catches my eye about this magazine is how Jay Z has been centered in the middle of this magazine for he is the center of attention and all eyes are on him, for the sub headings and small text are stacked and cramped around him. The camera shot of Jay Z would be a medium long shot which is a good camera shot for this magazine for you can see the clothing he is wearing along with the accessories he's also wearing such as: the chain and the watch. The fact that he's been gray scaled (black and white) suits flawlessly with the magazine. The colours are definitely powerful and up lifting, for his pose suggest the success that he has achieved and it looks as if he's looking down on the reader. The Main Header "KING" behind him explains it all, the fact that it's massively bold behind Jay Z and not in front of him illustrates that he is King and the main event of the magazine.
The text ranging from colours of yellow (stands out a lot more), white (in front of a black border background), gray, and black shows what stands out a lot more, and the sizes of them each shows this also.The Text in bold showing "DIDDY code of silence" could possibly mean a teaser music video exhibiting and discussed in the magazine. Main sub headings of Artist names and sub headings drawing males in "Sexy Pics" undoubtedly shows what type of audience the magazine is guaranteed to draw in. Overall the reason for choosing this magazine to support me in my own music magazine design is because it stands out so much more compared to other magazines which look exactly the same to each other which is the reason why I've switched up by collecting a magazine that uses a main picture in a slightly diverse way and text to center out the picture.
