The cover is good because it follows standard conventions of a music magazine e.g. the masthead at the top of the page and the barcode in the bottom corner. It also uses all the space possible and presents all of the main content inside the magazine which is what is going to sell the magazine upon the first glance. The magazine cover also uses bold writing for the masthead and the name of the main artist. There is one image on the cover of the artist in question and he is dressed in very typical hip-hop attire.

The contents page is very different to other contents pages as the layout is rather revolutionary in the sense that it includes more pictures that most hip-hop magazine contents pages. Conventions that it does actually follow are the size of the title of the page as 'contents' which is the largest piece of text on the page. It also has the page referenced number next to the article. There are four images of artists on the contents page, all of which have been referenced on the cover page with their name as an artist.

The double page spread is good because it follow the conventions of common double page spreads as the picture takes one side of the two pages and text takes the other page. It also has an individual quote in larger letters and highlighted than everything else from the article. The image used presents the whole body of the artist and depicts him in a setting, contrasting the previous two images on the cover and contents pages
