NME vs RWD annotations

Well even if i made this blog over 3 weeks ago, due to technical difficulties and a lost USB, I have finally got back on track and am able to upload my work, starting with the NME & RWD comparison, which we had to do, to see the differences between the styles, layout, colours and frontpages of the magazine. This in particular helped me realise the importance of strong colours in particular. The analysis of the RWD magazine was the most important part of this task, purely based on the fact, quite a few of the genres that were in my original plan were all connected. Meaning, dubstep, rap (usually a lot of people would say hip hop, but to make it clear, hip hop is a culture, and the preaching of this culture in the form of rap, became known as hip hop by artists such as RUN D.M.C, Public Enemy, N.W,A/N****'s With Attitude, Funkmaster Flex, Big Daddy Kane and others) , R&B, Dancehall, Funky House and Garage. From these there are other sub-genres such as Jungle, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, House and others. Just by looking at the layouts of the two, I learnt there was SO much difference between them and even the tone of language was A LOT different than my initial impression on such magazines, before i even looked at this.. So looks like this is the beginning of a whole new learning curve.
