Before drafting my double page spread, I have decided to research further into what language and text layout is used for rap genre magazines. To the right is a collage I have created of double page spreads that caught my eye, but after reading them all, several caught my eye and stood out from the others.
The first article that I saw that I really liked featured 'Angel Haze'. What really stuck out to me was the list of three sub- heading, 'Young, Gypsy Star Angel Haze'. For my own magazine, I choose to use this convention when describing my own artist, as I feel like it is a good way to describe the rapper in three words.
Secondly, I like the thought- provoking quote that is featured on the 'Kanye West' article, which is 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of those rare albums people take seriously enough to be disappointed about'. Instead of just having a straight forward quote, the magazine have used one that takes a while to get your head around. Personally, by reading this quote a couple of times made me really want to read the full article, to know exactly what West was thinking about.
Furthermore, I really like the introduction to 'Lana Del rey's' page, as it informs you about her when she was capturing the images for the article. I think this is a really good way to start the writing, and wish to try and do something like this for my own magazine article.
