2. Spin is the name of the magazine.
I decided on this particular magazine because
it is a modern publication
It’s not one I regularly read and therefore
decided to explore it and find out more about
it. Also, it’s also familiar and recognised to
many leading artists.
The magazine has a red background logo
and usually has a celebrity portrait displayed
on the front cover of the magazine for the
sake of publicity.
3. The music usually is hip hop or college
based rock music.
Doug Brod is the name of the editor.
The stand out features is the colouring and
range of artists ‘Spin’ covers.
The price of the magazine is just under $ 4
in America where over £4 in the UK as it
has to be shipped or flown from the USA.
