publishing my mag

i think that a similar company who publishes VIBE would publish my magazine as this magazine is similar genre.

interveiw / article

Alex E is 17 and he is became one of the most successful young artists in history from his supernatural talent at rapping.

Interviewer: So Alex how does it feel to be back in the UK after your short tour round the world?

ALEX E: It has been amazing I cant explain. Didn’t realise that so many people enjoyed my music!

Interviewer: yes, I bet! And can you tell Swag magazine how you came about achieving these things?

ALEX E: well, it all started by a few of my mates and myself just messing around with some rhyming games in my mates garage. And we started making some beats to go with it.

Interviewer: wow that is really quite interesting! So you had no intention of becoming famous?

ALEX E: nah man never planned it to go this far!

Interviewer:

HIP HOP music genre would love this magazine as it will include all types of hip hop! and the reader may even learn something they didn't know about hip hop!
i was inspired by a lot of hip hop magazines out already such as vibe and also non hip hop magazines such as rolling stones.
the main influences towards my magazine was classic hip hop which was featured on my animo to mood board with the song "above the clouds" by Gangstarr which is classic hip hop.
my magazine will follow the stereotypical masthead which will go the across the whole of the top of the front cover. my magazine will be easily recognisable as a hip hop genre magazine, as main hip hop stars, and blatantly hip hop style will be displayed on the front cover using props such as "bling" and stylish hip hop clothes.

my colour pallet in my opinion is going to work very well.
GOLD WHITE AND BLACK
i think this because it is not every day you see these colours used as a magazines main theme.
i chose these colours as i think they contrast each other nicely, and also the gold represents a bit of hip hop cultural image, as you often see hip hop stars representing GOLD.

the picture i will use for my final front cover is going to be a male, posing as a world famous hip hop star. taken in a rural area, showing the artist in a broken down home town type location.

other photos i may use unclude picture of general hip hop props, for example a microphone.the cost of my magazine will be about £2.00 as this seemed a reasonable price for a magazine of such informamality

finally things which i need to reconsider is the font type that i am going to use for the front page/cover as i need it to stand out as much as possible and still carry the attributes of a stylish hip hop genre.
