The magazine 'RAP-UP' is based on the hip hop and rap music industry. The magazine’s target audience is aimed at young teenagers and over. This is shown by the simplicity of the front cover because there are not many straplines so its not complex but also through the use of bright colours, which attracts a young audience.
However it can also be argues that the This magazine limits itself due to the lack of details and straplines as this is conventional of magazines, on the other hand this may cause the audience to be more curious and want to buy the magazine. The magazine’s masthead is in capitals and is big, bold and black, which stands out so it grabs the audiences attention so they remember the magazines name. The use of black also compliments the sliver and white colours used. The 'U' has an arrow that is facing up due the word 'up.' The three music artists on the front cover are presented all as unique as they are all wearing different clothes, and their names are different colours, and reveals the magazine is aimed at a wide audience that consist of many different people.
The strapline ‘’stop & stare’’ is capitals, black and larger than the other straplines and its importance is conveyed through the posture of the artist on the front cover as they are putting the hands out, which is an indication to stop. And this is unudual and grab the audiences attention and makes them 'stop & stare.' The artists are also smiling and hence making the magazine more approachable and portrays the magazine is
The magazine is clear about what issue it is, ‘’SUMMER’’ being in pink showing what term this magazine was released, and the year below in black. At the Top above the magazine’s name and in the right hand corner there are numerous artists’ names which will tell the audience that these people are included inside the magazine. The three artists at the front dominate the magazine, and their positioning is very similar e.g. the hand positioning facing forward. The magazine lacks any pricing, barcode or website on the front of the magazine; this is quite peculiar because most magazines have them. The magazine has vibrant colours which are moulded with black, quite an unusual theme.
