My front page was

starting to

resemble that of a

rock genre and not

one of gospel rap.

So I softened the

colour of my

background so that

it wont look too

overwhelming and

aggressive.

Here I am making a sell line to encourage

people to purchase the magazine. I made

the background yellow like the slogan to

create a trend and being the bright colour it

is will make it very noticeable. The word

‘Free’ being highlighted and larger than the

rest will call for peoples attention as people

generally like this word. ‘Shamballa’s’ is a

popular unisex bracelet amongst the youth

black culture generally can cost over a

thousand pounds or just £15. Being

tactical, my target audience does not know

how much I got these shamballa’s for and

they may just assume it is the most

expensive ones , loads of people buy the

magazine to get this prize where it did not

cost my company much – the industry is all

about making profit. B) Companies may give

away free shamballa’s to my company as

they know that it is a fashionable item

amongst my target audience and the more

youth that wear it the more people will be

persuaded to buy it. Plan B not only

achieves plan A buy getting people who

wouldn’t normally buy the magazine to

invest in it but there's the possibility that

companies will even pay for my magazine to

give away the free products they give as

they know in the long run they will benefit

from it as well.

Many famous black

rappers wear this as

you see to the right.

People may question

what does this have to

do with gospel but this

is a gospel rap/hip-hop

magazine aiming at

young people and

Christians still like to

be fashionable.

Most front pages have the main image giving direct eye contact. I broke this code however

because it makes it look so stereotypical and unnatural. Where here where the artist is

communicating with someone, give the magazine a sense of realism and youth do not like

things to fancied up and like genuineness. With him having a smile on his face show us that

he is having a good time and that makes people curious of what was happening encouraging

them to buy it so they can find out. Him being a black youth will reach out to all of my target

audience both girls and boys , Christian and non- Christian. Having a ‘JESUS IS MY LOGO’

badge makes it evident to the audience this magazine has something to do with Christianity

and especially reaches out to my Christian target audience. The main thing however is that

there is a microphone and a headset which both shows that this is a music magazine.

It is hard to cut pictures accurately so enlarging the

picture makes it more easier.

parts I wanted

to keep.
