I have decided to make my pictures black and white as they can have strong connotation to the artist. On these front cover as the cover lines suggest to the reader. The basic colour schemes are very effective as the cover is very eye catching.

The rhianna magazine colour scheme maybe be linked to her personal life with her and chris brown having problems with each other. the blue may come from the expression 'feeling blue' meaning feeling upset or 'down in the dumps'. Black and white may just show how saturated her life is or hiding something. The t'i cover was made around when he was going to jail for a year as black and white may show how simple his life has become. How it is very contaminated with his current problems. T.i is wearing a suit which maybe representing him going to court soon as hip hop artist normally don't wear suits. As t.i normally doesn't were this sort of clothing the coverline 'ain't no thing as a secret snitch' maybe referring to his court appearance sometime soon when the magazine was made. glasses normally are associated with dressing smart and whilst he is wearing a suit. Shows him to appear int court soon this is what these props suggest. The simplicity of both covers mean that they want the main image to be the main focus the colour scheme helps to do this.
