Evaluation question 6


This is the poster i made i included all the things i used via the p.c; i didn't include the internet as i showed the internet when i took a picture of the computer. The computer is highlighted black as it is the key point and everything around it is from that. all the relevant information is on the poster hope you enjoy :).

Evaluation question 4


I did not draw a photo of my target audience i wanted to be more creative with this task therefore i made myself on photo shop as a cartoon with what my target audience would look like. As you see he is typically black as what most hip-hop culture target audience stereotype audience member looks like therefore i followed this rule. His hood up to give him that hip-hop feel as every hip-hop artist has 'swagga' and the hood represents that. He has a Adidas hoody on showing he shops in sports shops but at the same time he has a polo on underneath which shows he has some rich smart style as well; reflexes on 2 sides of a hip-hop artist 1 side which is the polo is outside him performing and the hoody is what he is like when performing if you understand me. As you see no pose on the shot showing again the hip-hop culture of serious giving the 'hard' act which most hip-hop artist have to give them a better look. This is typically what my target audience would look like and as i have explained above all of these factors will make them come and buy my magazine as they enjoy what hip-hop represents and hip-hop music. I focused on the way he looked and the clothes he was wearing the most as hip-hop is all about fashion and the way you look therefore i thought it was key to have in my picture of my target audience. Overall im happy with what i produced as it was creative and different to what any other person would do therefore i stand out making my work unique which i always love to do.

Evaluation question 3



I choice to do a video for this evaluation section as i did not just want to do a voice over; i wanted to show me and show the marker how passionate i am for this type of music. I also didn't want it to be a boring voice over with nothing to watch i wanted something better therefore i choice to do a video of me explaining therefore using a different technology within my evaluation. Also i did not want to just follow what everyone else will be doing for this task i wanted to be different therefore making me unique.

Evaluation question 2


I picked this picture of T.I to compare with my front cover picture is due to the fact how similar they are. As you see they are both wearing a suit and tie which is different for a hip-hop magazine but shows the smart side to the audience which i love; also it makes it different to every common magazine of this genre again making it unique. As well as they are of the same skin colour again fitting in to the hip-hop genre as most hip-hop artist are of a black skin colour therefore fitting in. They both have the same hair style which again is common to the hip-hop culture as most the hip-hop artist have a bold cut like these 2 examples. There is not much difference between these 2 pictures as i used this magazine cover picture idea and changed it a little; the only thing which is different is T.I is smiling and i am looking sad this is just to do with the relevant of the magazine made title therefore making it more relevant to that. As you see i related my magazine picture to this magazine cover due to how different it is therefore again making it unique etc.

Evaluation questions 1

I choice to do it this way and highlight the same factors underneath each split screen; the example way you explained i did not really understand so i followed a same pattern as another evaluation example you gave. It is the same idea as the other evaluation but the other ideas are more creative therefore equaling it out 



The title of magazine- it is in the same placement; same size and takes up the same space relevant to this magazine.

page layout- the layout of the information is the same as the professionally done magazine. The little key information which are laid out are in the same placement. The picture placement takes up most the magazines front cover like the professional 1 so it shows relevance.

costume/props- The same as each other they are both dressed smart showing they are rich. They dress smart to show there is another side to there hip-hop gangster reputation.

framing of image- I have a little white glow of the outline of the frame of my image which is different to the T.i framing image around him; he has no framing image and i do due to i wanted him to look more important; with this white line it represents he is more important

Title, font, headers and style- The size of the fonts are all matching the same size, the fonts are typically looking the same and all add effectiveness as there easy to read. The headers stand out over the normal text to ensure the audience read them first again making the magazine more effective.

How it reflex's the hip-hop culture- Both the magazine still have that 'swagga' in the image of a hip-hop artist; rich and powerful with there smart dress sense it is still showing they are a hip-hop artist through there skin colour and also due to the titles which represents that hip-hop culture.

How artist's are represented- in these they are represented as rich due to there choice of clothing. They are still seen as hip-hop as there look in the image covers up the smart sense.

Colour  scheme - both magazine they kept the colour simple; mostly both black and white but in mine i have got red coming out into it to make sure it follows its theme all the way through. This attracts the audience to it as it stands out.





The title of magazine-They have the same placement but different styles to present it as they are both placed in the right corner but the professional magazine has it going down the page but i kept mine simple and made it stay on 1 line.

page layout- My layout is tottally different to the professional magazine layout as mine is done in sort of columns and there's is simply a picture with text next to it. Mine still follows a normal rule of contents but does not follow this content page. It is effective as it is easy to understand due to the layout.

costume/props- I have 2 pictures on this page; 1 is a dj in mid way of doing a song his costumn is casual but still is effective as the dj gear makes him look professional. The other picture shows good and rich dress sence as he is wearing a sort of hip-hop culture jacket and a modern day top the pictures are still effective. On the professional magazine they have stuck to the smart role as again it shows of how ich they are.

framing of image- My images were framed inside a column in the content page but it adds to its effect. he framing on the other 1 is non-excisting as they just placed the image down but again as it was so well planned and thought of it still has that effect of being effective.

Title, font, headers and style- I made sure my fonts, title and headers stood out all the way through on the page so it was easy for the audience to read it; on the professional content they just kept it simple and made the text small with a simple font.

How it reflex's the hip-hop culture- my pictures reflect the hip-hop culture as they are all relevant to the culture; the dj is playijng mucis this culture needs music to make tracks and the other picture just shows the hip-hop smart style.

How artist's are represented- The artist on these pages are respesented as music man who are in the hip-hop industry and they reflect that with a high standard. On the professional magazine he is represented as the rich hip-hop star due to his suit.

Colour  scheme -


The title of magazine- Different placements of the titles on the magazine as mine is at the top and theres is on the left side; they are both effective but different placement is up to the person who is designing it.

page layout- The layout of these 2 double page spread are tottally different to each other as the professional 1 has no writing on 1 side and just pictures and my magazine has writiing on all sides these again is up to the designed choice when making the magazine if they want the layout of the text. The picture layout is half the same as 1 of my pictures is on the side where all of there pictures are. There both effective but 2 diffrent ideas.
costume/props- Both dressed smart and fashionable. In my magazine 1 half is dressed smart and the other half is dressed fashionable. On the professional magazine all the men are dressed smart but the lady is dressed fashionable therefore showing some relevance. 

framing of image- there were no framing for each image they were just placed in and inserted then moved around on the page finding a place which fitted and made the magazine look more effective.

Title, font, headers and style-  The choices of fonts, headers, titles and style are all different between each other. On my magazine i have made the titles stand out and the text to a good size that the audience can read it without any hassle. The professional magazines title still stands out but there writing is set small and quite hard to read, also it is all apart from 1 section the same colour making it boring and not stand out.

How it reflex's the hip-hop culture-my pictures reflect the hip-hop culture as they are all relevant to the culture; as 1 of the 2 pictures are dressed smart and the other picture is dressed fashionable. The other magazine picture again is the same 3 men are dressed smart showing they are rich and famous and the lady is dressed fashionable to show the hip-hop culture.

How artist's are represented- My artist is represented on this page as emotional but still from the clothes he is wearing make him still have that sence of hip-hop around him. The other magazine artist represent rich, fame and fashion as there picture all get this message across.

Colour  scheme - I went for a stand out colour scheme to make the page catch the audience eye therefore making it more effective, also i made it follow a theme all the way through to have a professional style throughout the magazine. The other magazine cover has keep it simple as they want the audience to look at the image and text more then the colours on the page; This is effective if it is done correctly and this 1 is done to a high standard therefore it has worked.
