Evaluation 5

I think the most attractive conventions about my magazine are font and colour. The colours are all based on shades of gold and green. There are not a lot of contrasting colours which establish the simplicity and modern look to it. I have balanced the business of the magazines leading you to different things on my magazine in order from most important to least.

I felt like I needed to include as many features as possible relating to my conventions to attract my target audience. I bought rap magazines an picked up on all the main and minor conventions so I could incorporate them in my magazine. I needed to think about font, colours, and images following similar conventions of my rap magazines.

My front cover and contents page are eye-catching with my contrasting title designed to attract the viewer/reader's attraction. The font I used follows rap conventions of graffiti and will be easily read by its target audience. I have used artist’s names in the cover lines similar to the music genre of the magazine to draw the audience in. Using popular artists attracts readers of my target audience because my target audience gravitate towards well known artists. I also gave my main image a snapback to appeal to people who follow the fashion of wearing snapbacks. This also connotes my genre. The colours are quite calm and mellow which also helps target the audience to read with confidence.
