I added my artist in before adding any other sections of text so that I could picture where to place the text and to fit it around the photo. I chose this mid close up shot as I felt that it was more intriguing for the reader and I wanted my model to directly look into the camera to look like he is looking directly at the reader to draw them in. The pose chosen of folded arms with a slight tilt to the head related to the typical 'bad boy' from the rap industry and I wanted to keep the style the same. By doing so it makes him appear more thug like and more like a stereotypical rap artist. However, choosing an artist who doesn't typically look like a rap/hip-hop artist goes against convention as I wanted my magazine to be different to the norm and to send the message to the audience that you can be anyone you want to be there are no limits in life.
I also added in a standfirst keeping to my colour scheme of dark red and placed it above my headline. Originally I placed it beneath, however it wasn't visible to the reader because the image was in front and placing it in front of his face didn't give off a professional vibe so instead I placed it above the headline.
