Research and Planning - Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis: Hip-Hop

Jay-Z is wearing dark glasses to hide his eyes, which implies he is a powerful artist and doesn't need to make eye conact with poeple due to his power. On the right side of the page, where the tet is, a huge red 'J' is in the centre of the page. The huge 'J' is just another supporting peice of evidence to show his power. And as I hvae said in my previous blogs, power and superiorioty is important in hip-hop music; it is talked a lot about in the music. This is how I can tell it is hip-hop.
Then the fact there is a lot of used of the colours red, black and white is another way I can tell it is a hip-hop magazine.

Research and Planning - Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis: Hip-Hop

The model on this page is wearing lots of gold chains as it is a clear reference to money and fashion, which is, again, a bit importance in hip-hop. The colour red is making another appearance in this page as it is really meaningful in hip-hop.
The page actually makes the featured artit really prominent as it is suggesting his superiority in this usic genre. And with him wearing no top, and the tattoos on his body, it implieshe, and hiphop, are connected to street crime/gangs.

Research and Planning - Music Magazine Front Cover Analysis: Hip-Hop

This magazine represents hip-hop in many different ways and it can be seen through it's different features and the featured artists. For example, the model has gold teeth, which gold is very popular in hip-hop music as it is linked to money. His face appears big and powerful on the fornt cover as hip-hop artistrap about how important power is, and often refer to themselves as powerful.
Another reference to money can be seen in the name 'A$AP' too.
The colour red is a large representation too and is seen a lot in the hip-hop community, which goes back to the gang wars in America: Crips vs. Bloods.
The cover lines also includeother hip-hop artists referring as too who will be appearing on the magazine.
