• Mise-en-scene of the image makes him seem non-threatening
• The subtle ring used on his left hand shows his wealth that can also be seen with the yellow hat being hidden by the pasty blue hoodie
• This secretive nature along with the subtle ring and yellow hat connotes to him hiding his wealth to the world, or perhaps the viewer. 
• This suggests that the producer, although being subversive to the stereotype of a young black man in a hoodie, it suggests that he is actually super greedy
• However this subversion of stereotypes is further emphasised with the fact that his direct mode of address makes him shy and timid with 'sad puppy eyes'.
• This binary opposition between the 'tough black person stereotype' and the 'childish, preschool colours' is used to break stereotypes.
• The high amount of contrasting colours such as the blue hoodie, the peachy orange for a background and the skin tone of the model further breaks stereotype, perhaps demonstrating it breaking boundaries and hegemonic norms, being a hybrid genre.

what to find on a magazine

• cover lines
• not a lot of writing
• big bold text for title/masthead
• barcode
• cover photo/ covers the entire front cover
• price tag
• what edition it is, e.g. vol 1/ issue 1
• subtitles/slogans/catchphrases/sell lines
• author name

• magazine company logo hugely printed on the side
• many musical artists photoshopped in a way to make it look like a star wars movie poster, suggesting triumph, enthusiasm, eagerness, to give the target audience a sense of energy.
• Includes many famous artists such as the Beetles, Elton John, Freddie Mercury and more
• The use of using many neon colours such as yellow for freddie mercuries hand and blue and pinks around the cover photo shows how they are all 'stars' as well
