Music magazine feature article analysis

Image
Analysis of the lead feature article In Vibe’s November 2004 issue Nelly was their cover star. He also had an 8 page spread feature article in the magazine. The first double page is two images which one of which is of Nelly. It had reference to the image on the front cover with a similar image of him with black writing over his topless frame. He is making the letter ‘X’ out of his arms which is similar to the shape on the other page which had text written in it saying – “MARKED MAN he’s been called everything from a misogynist to a sell-out.

Evaluation of the 7 questions

Music magazine evaluation 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?  In my opinion, my magazine does conform to the codes and conventions of traditional hip-hop / R&B magazines. I say this because I drew upon a lot of inspiration from typical magazines such as VIBE and FADER which are R&B magazines which challenge conventions of other media products in the industry.
