Mag Analysis
In this magazine cover we see that there are 10 rappers gathering round together looking as if they are posing for a photo. Some of the iconic figures in this picture like famous rappers xxxtentacion, Playboi Carti and Kyle appeal to a mainstream fan audience. The red interior makes the rappers stand out since they are mostly wearing black as clothing which sticks out compared to the red room. The most appealing text in the piece is the big yellow sentence in the middle "2017 freshman class". this is the name of the company that the rappers are under and the year that it is.
The font of the title appeals to a young audience as it gives a goofy feel or like a hip hop vibe since it is As if the title has been spray painted. all of the rappers are wearing trendy clothing which also appeals to the teenage fantasy. For example Playboi Carti's jacket is around $5,000 and the people who see this cover will know what it is and they will most likely view it.
Each of the rappers have a large fan base meaning the viewer is likely to know who they are, in the means of ''mise en scene'', we see all the rappers are in the same picture. Objects are seen in the picture which are used as decor. all the objects are the same colour as the background which is a blood red colour portraying vengeance, pain, fire. and as we know we associate rap verses with fire and refer tot hem as heat of hot.
