First Draft of Magazine Front Cover

Magazine Genre

For my coursework I have chosen Rap as my genre for my magazine, mainly due to the fact that in my previous anaylsis's of contents pages, front covers and double page spreads genre also happened to be Rap so I thought that as I had no previous intentions of using other genres as my chosen genre I thought that I might as well choose rap.

House Style/Chosen font

House Style:

This potential fonts as shall use as my house style and as I had a long list of fonts I limited my list to just three fonts. At the moment, my preference is the font Nuevo Disco as I feel that the cracks or dashes in the font would suit my magazine as it mainly focuses on the rap genre.
