The Masthead is in a big and bold font in a bright colour (bright pink), this is because it is the name of the artist that the interview is focused on, "Nicki Minaj". The bright pink colour specify that this could be for a more female audience or seen as feminine.
The picture of Nicki Minaj is very effective because it will interact with and attract her fans , The denotation of the colour scheme is simple three colours, black, pink and white. After some research on Nicki Minaj i found out that her fans are known as the "Barbz"this is a referral to Barbie dolls hence why the background and foreground consists of these colours. The bottom right hand side states a quote that Minaj once said, it is extracted from the interview to attract her audience and have a deeper meaning to her life story as it could be a mystery to her fans. The quote connotes that Minaj has a conclusion about how her life has changed dramatically within recent years. The main image is seen as a mid shot with a direct gaze, This magazine cover could appear to the male gaze as Minaj is seen as a sexual figure in the eyes of some men, this therefore potentially attracting a larger audience.
The genre of this magazine is a pop/rap magazine because these are the teo genres that Nicki Minaj is commonly known and successful for.
Overall i'd say that this double page spread is well designed and unique because of the style/layout that was used as it was intriguing to view for any viewers, it was different but successful.
