The colour scheme used in this double page spread is prominently dull colours, such as grey and black and white. this is done to appeal to their target audience as they are used to associating with theses colours and will naturally appeal towards it. doing this also emphasises the genres culture, as these artists are from rough backgrounds, such as 'Compton' in the rappers case, where thy did not live a very well off life. as children these people were constantly surrounded by crime and gang culture, they had to learn the things they know though experiences as they grew up, scaring them for life. the target audience that they will be aiming the magazine at will be from similar background and therefore can understand and relate to the pain experience and culture that the rapper is from. others will be intrigued as they will want to learn more about the life and experiences of people from this culture.
