This masthead is hard to see due to the main image of the magazine. The main image of the magazine is a medium close up of a rapper. Within the photo the editor has focused on the clothing and the pose of the artist. This editor has made the photo with a series pose. The magazine has also concentrated on the background and not matching it with colourer scheme of white and the photo itself. The slogan of the magazine seems to be across the bottom of the page. The main story is not too long but short and very effective.  The layout of the design seems to have the sill lines down the right, and then it seems to have the subsidiary images down the left. The target audience of this magazine would be 15 +.
