I really like this front cover because it looks conventional and attractive. This has got to be my favourite part of the magazine. I like the template because it is well set out and The format isn't messy. It includes generic magazine features such as a list of celebrities/music artists. The text is easy to read and stands out. I included an barcode and a magazine edition date to make it more of a professional magazine standard. I placed a subheading just above the main heading/title because it filled the dead space and emphasised the conventional look of the magazine. I decided that to go with the colours of black and white, because a lot of Hip-Hp magazines usually include dark or bright colours such as black and white. Therefore, I made my magazines concept colours black and white, also because these two colours are very easily readable when put on each other. Furthermore, the colours of black and white coordinate well with my front covers colours. For the main subheading "the revival of Ken Rebel" i placed the black font on a white background and the white font on a black background, optimising the readability and attractiveness. The photo itself is quite good, it applies gaze theory effectively and is appropriate to the genre. The poses in the photo look "cool" which Hip-Hop artists are seen to be or want t be seen as. However, the cover is a little blurry when printed out, this could be due to the greyscale effect or because of the quality of the camera I used. Next time, I will have to take better quality photos. Creating this front cover proved to be difficult in some ways, finding the right picture that I approved of took some time, and also I didn't really have the expertise of the programs like Adobe photoshop. Also, I should have managed my time more effectively, as I had to rush at some points in the process
