As seen above, this my first front cover design in which it includes a main image of a Rapper/ producer named Metro Boomin who has been in the limelight recently due to controversial diss tracks. This front cover includes key conventions such as a Masthead, a main coverline, other coverlines and more. These follow the conventions in order for my targeted audience to choose my magazine over others. In addition, the codes shown within the front cover 1 is that the 'RAP' within the masthead is in another colour and in bold to show the main contents behind the front cover. If my target audience is too look at my front cover they may be more enticed to open it and read through the edition as my research has led to me to discover most people within my targeted audience listen to Rap on a regular basis.
This is ,y front cover 2 of my magazine edition. It will feature female rap star 'Iggy Azalea' and will have all the generic conventions such as the Masthead, Coverlines, main coverlines and many others. However, this edition will be a bit different to the first design as it will be a throwback edition in which prolific rappers from the 1990s to early 2000s will be honoured so that there legacy and music can continue. This will be very beneficial to my targeted audience as it will allow the older generation of my targeted audience to feel included and reminisce on the past. In addition, similarly to the first edition, the masthead will be have the singled out word 'RAP' in red letters to signifier that the magazine is all about rap.
