These two pages were my first attempts at making my music magazine. At first I thought it would be easier to us a male model for my front cover and for my double page spread but I found out that it would have been easier to go against the mainstream representations of hip-hop/R&B artists and use a female model instead. This links to my research from my questionnaire as most of the people i surveyed are male and this would link to the male gaze by using a female model and this will attract more readers.
