Moodboard (rap) & why the genre changed.

I'm quite disappointed at myself, at how late i've left to post some of these, but due to an unexpected incident involving the interview questions and my interviewee, my original genre (rap) had to be put aside for something which is very different in comparison and has led to the change of the magazine's target audience, which when looking at rap, tended to be around the ages of 13-24 from people I had asked, mainly outside college and a few individuals from it to keep my selected sample both fair, and not unbalanced between gender, considering my college is an mixed sixth form with a very low ratio of boys to girls, 1:35 approximately, hence not a very good sample to choose.

But before I actually show the changed moodboard, I'd like to show the initial one for rap music, seeing as i did put the effort in to look for it, so I'd like to show it, just for peace of mind.

Well I'd just like to say before I post the other moodboard, that the reason i've still posted something which is of almost practically NO relevance to garage, drum and bass etc. That either way just by looking at these magazine covers, I could tell that there were already elements of these covers that I wanted mine to have. After having a good look, I saw that there were some similiarities in the style of the covers. Typically they had a masthead top left, usually covered by the main photo.. which personally, I didnt like so much. BUT one I saw in particular that DEFINATELY caught my eye and I WILL, adapt into either my interview page, or into my front page or even contents page, but I'd really like to find some way to be able to use this. If you have a look at the "REMIX" magazine cover, their main heading isn't placed horizontally.. BUT horizontally. Now, I believe this is quite unconventional compared to the others, but either way whenever I look at the moodboard, THAT caught my eye. Now correct me if i'm wrong but, I think we all know that the front covers are MEANT to GRAB the READERS or ATTRACT new readers.. and that definately did.
