Next Issue Of Guap

After completing those task I felt like ending it off on a feature was not satisfying enough to close off Guap so I decided to do a closing by creating a basis of the next issue of Guap. This was a good idea on my part because before I didn't know where to put my second model and she couldn't really fit in with the previous pages. So creating this last page was the best thing I could of done to add a closing statement and to include my second model in the magazine.


Since my model is the youngest model I have having Guap Speak of the even younger generation would be the most optimal thing I could do. And speaking of the future I thought it would be cool for Guap to speak about the future of the rap industry. One of the things that I find cool about this page is that my model is looking at the Guap logo that is a nice touch. I also made even further adjustments to the page but because I am essentially done with the magazine you will see the adjustments on the actually magazine. Naturally I updated the table of contents as well.

Table of Contents Analysis and Progression



With the table of contents I had to express what was exactly going to be in my magazine. I believe I successfully did so with the table of contents.  And as you can see with the before and after shots while keeping the same layout I drastically changed the visuals. I improved the look of my magazine befitting that of my vision.

Feature Analysis and Progression










With my feature I made it a double paged spread and I continuously updated it. I did that by changing the alignments and spacing of my story and I also changed where the title "Official Will" to be from the right to directly under the photo of my first model. I made the necessary changes for the feature to be in tune with my vision.

Sub Genre research Analysis

At school I interviewed 35 students and made a poll. The poll was on their favorite sub genre of rap out of the 5 options that were given. These 5 options were Mumble Rap, Pop Rap, Trap, Freestyle Rap, and Gangsta Rap.  If I tally the results I get in order

1. Pop Rap = 15 votes
2. Freestyle Rap= 9 votes
3. Mumble Rap= 6 votes
4. Trap= 3 votes
5. Gangsta Rap= 2 votes

After getting these results I deduced that I should make a pie chart for my official magazine.  Below are a pictures of me editing and making the pie chart look better for the official magazine.

As you can see I added the pie chart and progressively made strides in changing the layout to make it look better.

Progression of Cover


As you can see I have vastly improved my cover page. By editing the sub titles, tweaking the text, and by adding a bar code I am drastically improving the quality of the cover from the original draft. The updated cover will be shown with the official Guap Magazine.

Cover of Guap Magazine Draft

I believe this cover to be good. It gets my information across and my third model is front and center but I believe that I can do better and in my next blog I will be showing the progression of me updating the cover image to fit my vision.

Analysis of 3rd Model Photo


I have deduced this to be the photo that I am going to use for my official magazine. My model is looking directly at the camera. It appeals to the rule of thirds and because it is a half body shot the photo should be big enough to fill in enough space to make the magazine fit my image. I will be putting him in the front cover with the logo.

Analysis of 3rd Model Photos


While these 2 pictures appeal to the rule of thirds and are what I'm looking for these two pictures would not be suitable for a cover in my opinion. A cover photo should require a half body shot with him looking directly at the camera but I can potentially use the photos for something else in my magazine.
