HIP HOP:
The genre of music I chose is Hip hop. Hip hop music, also called hip-hop is a music genre formed in the United States in the 1970s.Hip hop music conventionally consists of rapping over a samples. Hip hop as music and culture formed during the 1970s as block parties became increasingly popular in New York City. 2$ Fabo, 21 Savage and 2Mex are prime examples of hip hop artist.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD INTRODUCTION TASK:
This is my Double Page Spread that I created using InDesign.

EVALUATION: My magazine looks very conventional as I followed the conventions of a magazine double page spread whilst conducting the task. My picture is not stretched out and the title is in the style of the genre rap/hip hop. In order to improve my work, I should have made sure that the margins on both sides are the same as the writing is too close to the main image of J Cole.

Hello my name is Tre and this is my Media Studies blog. Hope you enjoy!
