Here are a few magazine covers I took an interest in. My theme is Hip-Hop and RnB. I researched a few artists that specialize in this genre and looked at a few magazine covers they featured in. From this, I took some ideas from the conventions such as the positioning of cover-lines, mastheads and colors and the size of images. I then used it on my own cover. This mood-board helped me a lot as it gave me a few ideas. I have noticed that many of these magazines have a head-shot image of the artist. My cover is different as it has a full body shot of the artist.
