I am going to analyse three double page spreads associated with the hip-hop genre. The reason for doing so, is to gain some understanding and knowledge on the codes and conventions and the furniture that makes a double page spread into a hip/hop genre related magazine. When I create my double page spread, this analysis will be very useful, as I will be able to revert back and use the components that I highlighted, in order to improve my work and make it stronger. I have commented and highlighted other factors that improve the magazine, other than the codes and conventions, so that I can improve my work further. Now these evaluations have been completed, I feel that I have a much better understanding of the codes and conventions that are used to create an effective hip/hop double page spread, I will use these factors in my own magazine, to make it look stronger, more professional and resemble the hip/hop genre to the best of my ability.
Below is the analysis for the three hip/hop double page spreads:
From the research I have completed on the codes and conventions of a hip/hop double page spread, there are some key factors that must be incorporated, in order to create a professional, easy to read, effective double page spread that resembles the hip/hop genre. Some of these key components include having a key image of the model from the cover page taking up the majority of a page. Once again, the key image follows the convention of portraying intimidation. The masthead follows the convention of the hip/hop genre, by using a big font, a bold font style and a bold colour, this is used to attract the audience. The copy is informal, so that the target audience can relate to the article and the artist. When creating my double page spread, these are the codes and conventions that I will apply, in order to create an effective, professional and attractive product that reflects the hip/hop genre.
