Digital Camera

For this photo we took the picture at an angle where the long path is directly in sight.which gives a lot of depth to the picture. The photo is also bordered by trees giving a nice green frame. 

Digital Camera

On this photo we angled the camera just below the flower, right next to it. This therefore made the flower look much bigger than the church in the background. Also for this photo we have used the depth of field, focusing on the flowers rather than the large church in the background.

Rap

Tinie Tempah and Professor Green are both solo artists who belong to the genre of rap. Unlike most other rap singers, the lyrics are not generally very fast or do not contain excessive amounts of swearing. These two artists are both very successful in the UK charts. Also both artists usually sing songs with other famous people which may help sell their albums. 
N Dubz are also rap artists in the form of a band. Much like Professor Green and Tinie Tempah, N Dubz have had many songs in the UK charts that have been very successful. The members of N Dubz do fit the image of rappers, usually wearing caps, tracksuits and hats and many of their songs are about their own lives which again you would associate with other rappers.

Professor Green

Professor Green is a male rapper from England. Some of his songs include "I Need You Tonight", "Just be Good to Green" and "Monster". He is usually presented wearing a shirt along with jeans and sometimes a cap making him look smart even though a rapper is usually portrayed as wearing hoodies and baggy clothes. This makes him stand out from other rappers making people notice him more. His tatoos on his neck are usually always in sight on photos and during performances as it is part of his image and again it makes him differ from other artists.

Magazine Analysis

The central image of the of the magazine page is very large and uses up most of the space on the page. This will lead to more people potentially bying the magazine as the image is of a recognisable artist. the central image of the artist is also covering part of the title suggesting that the magazine is using the artist as a selling poijt more than the title. Also on the page is the names of other artists which will be featured in the magazine which again will lead to more people bying the magazine. Above the title it says "10 BIG SECRETS" which will make some people want to find out what those secrets are, making them buy the magazine. This magazine would probably be aimed at teenagers and adults of both genders. The colours used are mainly bright pink and blue which is eye-catching and makes it stand out.

Magazine Analysis


The title of the magazine is in large bold white writing and has a pattern on it making it stand out quite well. The picture of the band in the middle of the page is good as as people will recognise them and therefore might buy it. In the bottom half of the magazine gold writing is used making it stand out with more pictures of several differnet bands giving potential byers a sneak preview of what is inside the magazine.
