Based on my magazine research, it seems apparant that the majority of magazines in the Hip Hop genre will have a single person as one big picture. This is displayed particularly in Vibe. I have decided to have the focus on one single person, but have many images of him sized smaller, to fill the bottom of his frame. This is complemented by the fact that I am not going to have a photo of an urban landscape as my background, but a gradient of deep colours with italic writing that are displayed as words the character on the cover has said. This can display a sense of story if there is pictures of him getting bigger as the words go on. This will be the 'big up' factor that is shown Hip Hop magazines towards the rapper on the cover.
These are the photos, unedited taken on my phone for the intention of the smaller pictures
