Title Block Analysis

‘The Source’ is a Hip-Hop magazine and the font type and colours benefit this. The name is effective because it says it is the ‘Source’ meaning that if you want information, this magazine is the place to find it. As it is a Hip=hop magazine, we can expect the magazine to talk about different artists and information, and the title block allows this.  

The ‘Vibe’ magazine is an urban music based magazine. The red colour that they use is effective because it is a contrasting colour to the background, there making it stand out so the audience can easily make out what it is saying. The red could connote violence and blood, and as the music they show can be quite violent, they suit very well.

‘Beatz’ magazine is a magazine that shows off many different genres, one including Grime. The background could also connote danger and violence again. Also, as it is a grime genre, it could also connote gang culture, which is something that the genre represents. However, the white writing connotes innocence, which shows that the genres it represents are not only dangerous, but safe at the same time.

Reader Profile

The GRIME TIME Reader

Tyrone, 17, listens to Grime music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He absolutely loves this type of music that he would rather have a night in listening to it than going out with his mates. He uses the different artists he sees as role models and is fanatical of their specific clothing. Wherever he goes, he is dressed in dark, baggy clothes, with his hood up, making himself look like a typical hooligan. From the moment he opens his eyes when he wakes, until the moment he closes them, Grime is playing constantly throughout the day. He is always the first in his school to find out new music that artists release, and gives the deep recognition by following them on every social media websites. The way the different artists present themselves have an effect on him in many ways. These include social, physical and mental factors.
