Music Mag Genre

For my music magazine i have been researching into mulitple types of genres.  To do this i have been researching on the internet all music magazines and their genre. i wanted to look into more urban music genres such as Hip Hop so i looked at the magazine XXL.  this was an ideal magazine as it is the genre i want to base my music magazine off from. So for my music magazine my chosen genre is Hip Hop.
The image below is the front cover of XXLs magazine.  it is a basic layout and very simple.
The simplicity with this layout works as the colours are all matchingm  the main colours are Red, black & white.
