Several weeks ago, we were presented a PowerPoint, where we were asked to take down notes (see below for them). This information will develop my knowledge when evaluating my final product. For example, I now know the difference between a chocolate box and romantic pose. From watching hip hop music videos and researching other magazines, I know the general pose of the main image model is 'Romantic/ Sexual'. This is to invite the reader in to buy the magazine, and many female rap vocalists use their gender as a way to entice the audience, which I will try and do when taking my own images.
Moreover, I know statistics such as "89% of magazines are sold in shops rather than subscriptions", which automatically implies to me that it's not always about loyal fans going back to the same magazine every month/ week. If I have an attractive magazine cover with intriguing cover lines, then audiences (not only music fans) will be interested in my magazine.
