Mind Map

• This can introduce individualism and incorporate differences between the ‘usual’ hip hop tracks.

• Causes other artists to go against what you believe in as they have faith In their own ways.

• Insinuates an approach to the magazine and the genre that nobody has come across before.

• It connotes to the readers the genre strongly throughout the articles and explains any updates to hip hop and new tunes clearly

• People before buying this will be aware what they are purchasing and understand if it is suited to them.

Masthead Name Ideas

Masthead Name Ideas

Font Bebas

THE UnseenThe connotation behind this name as it relates to the album produced by Quasimoto who changed the hip hop scene from the underground level back up out in the open. So this album is a significant event in Hip Hop and could be quite an effective tribute.

Font Geo Sans Light

Stay DopeOn the streets the word Dope means ‘cool’ and most people who stereotype this hip hop scene like to look cool and powerful as opposed to other gangs and people on the street. So ‘Stay Dope’ could suggest that hip hop members should stay cool no matter what the occasion or scenario. Font Impact

Beats by DolanUsing Beats by Dolan could be effective because it shows the editors last name and brings a ‘Star Appeal’ towards the editor and also brings forward attention to those behind the magazine. Impact font is also similar to XXL font as it is bold and plain.

Inspiration• I have chosen to use XXL as my magazine of inspiration and they use the red colour

scheme very effectively therefore I have chosen to put my font in a recognisable font like XXL and similarly to the Vibe magazine of which I use as my second inspirational source. The stories I will choose to use will be mainly sob stories which will highlight the artists poor background and cause the reader to want to read on and discover more about their life's and how they turned it around.

• The reasons I chose the images on the previous slide was because they were all from my magazine of inspiration and represents my selected genre of music effectively for example the fashion they are portraying and also the type of people who will be best suited for my front camera e.g. African/American

Social media• The synergy I will be using for my front cover will be Facebook/Twitter/Instagram

as they are the most popular social networking sites therefore making it effective for the magazine to link to a well known social site. This can allow the reader to become more in touch with the magazine and when it will be released and how they can get in touch with the production of the magazine and any special releases.

Strapline Language

Strapline Language

Hip Hop Knockout - This strapline can suggest that you will knocked out by the context within the magazine and how it will be better than anything else you can read.

Lurking in the shadows- This was an idea for the strapline that I chose was mainly due to it linking effectively with ‘The Unseen’ masthead.

The UK’s Biggest Hip Hop Magazine- With this bold statement it could encourage the target audience to check the magazine out as it is the biggest hip hop magazine. This was inspired by XXL strapline.

Colour Schemes

Colour Schemes

Black and White- This colour scheme is usually used in magazines such as XXL and Vibe. Although there is also splashes off orange and red used to create a more powerful brand identity.

Black and Red- This is the most regularly used colour scheme used in XXL and captures the darkness combined with the red passion that stands out within the page.

Black only- This is shown in hip hop artists fashion and has been very popular so therefore is a possible approach to my magazine. This would be used to connote the darkness surrounding the hip hop scene and how it has changed throughout time.

White only- This has been used in previous interviews on XXL magazine spreads and looks very effective and professional.

Added Information• I will make the magazine £1.99 as it will be a relatively frequent release for hip hop

fans as I am going to release an issue on a weekly basis therefore if the price was any more expensive than £1.99 it would cause people to loose out on purchasing the magazine and wouldn’t generate enough sales to maintain a popular magazine.
