BELOW IS Potential Imagery FOR MY Double Page Spread ARTICLE http://www.vibe.com/photo-gallery/trina-hosts-miamilistening-session-back-business#trina-hosts-miami-listeningsession-backbusiness/?page=4&_suid=13563855609770615199881417397 8

There will be variation in my image as the inclusion of the nice cheerful smiley woman is inconsistent with my magazine. Mise en scene is effectively achieved as you can easily tell its about an artist through the background being a studio and you can tell its about Hip Hop.DJ Khalid (the man behind the woman) looks moody and is wearing a chain round his neck, which are both trademarks of Hip Hop. It also has relevance to my article about new recording Hip Hop artists. I want to use the same sort of layout as the example article from Vibe below

Analysis of Copy Before the actual start of the article the initials of the artist (Wiz Khalifa) are in big bold font to show he is the main focus of the article. Also the use of the question How High? intrigues the reader making them want to read on as they will want to know the answer to the question. The use of a drop cap is a stylistic feature that lets the reader know where the article begins. Also the article is spaced into two distinct columns to make it easier for the reader to understand the article.
