Subheadings
have been
used to keep
the layout
consistent and
the information
easy to read.
There is a date
and issue
number so the
audience
knows if the
magazine is up
to date.
The by-line is
below the
heading which
follows codes
of a double
page spread. It
contains
information
about Dizzee
Rascal for
anyone who
doesn't know
who he is. It
has slightly
bigger font
than the
information
text.
The drop cap introduces the text and
follows the codes of a double page
spread.
The mode of
address is the same
as the front cover
and contents page.
The language is
factual and does not
contain slang.
One of the elements which connect the three different parts of the magazine is the
colour scheme. The main colours used are red, black and white. White and black
keeps the magazine formal looking and the red connotes power. This further
suggests that rap music is associated with authority.
Another element linking the front cover, contents page and double page spread is
the persistent use of Mise en scene. For example, the background has kept the
same and is an image of graffiti. This represents the rap genre to be associated
with vandalism. This is a clear negative representation on this style of music and
the people who are interested in it.
In addition, the mode of address has stayed the same for example the use of
slang. Slang is stereotypically used by the younger generation . Further to this,
negative connotations are revealed as slang denotes a lack of education. So,
people who read these magazines are portrayed to be uneducated.
All three sections support the same sub-genre. This is through the use of pull
quotes and buzz words which are associated with rap music and this lifestyle.
Likewise, the target audience stays the same. Young people are most likely to
enjoy rap music which is a stereotype.
Finally, the same representation is used. Rap is cool and associated with power
this is through the use of the colour red. Also, a negative representation is the use
of the image of alcohol. This denotes that alcoholism is linked with rap music.
