SOURCE Magazines Front page Analysis

This is the front cover of the Magazine “The Source” I can see that the magazine is aimed at the younger  audiences as the text is bold and informal I can tell that the text is informal as it says “GANGSTA” instead of gangster this is called colloquialism. I can also tell that it is a hip hop magazine because all the text is written in upper case to emphasise the loudness of hip hop. I feel that this magazine is aimed at male audiences aged between 16 and 24. P.Diddy is the hip hop star on the front cover of the magazine, he is wearing a New York Yankees cap symbolising the hip hop culture. The brand identity of the magazine is white and red suggesting that it is masculine. He also has a gold watch indicating that he is wealthy this also emphasise the fact that it is a hip hop magazine.

This magazines masthead is written in red suggesting that the magazine is aimed at people interested in hip hop as red is associated with Hip Hop.

The name of the magazine is SOURCE this puts forward the point that the magazine is the source to all your hip hop needs and you do not need to look much further to find information on the latest of music artists and albums.
