Masthead ideas

I liked these fonts for  a masthead ideas because  I thought they were suitable for my genre of  magazine. for example the 3rd one is very urban because it is graffiti and my magazine is all about urban style. The last one is very simple and classy and even though my magazine is urban and about edgy it good to have a little bit of class to it as it meant to be a professional magazine.


These fonts are the more simple type of fonts. I went with the last font because I thought it would be the best one to use. I think if i used any other font such as the graffiti type one it would be too much on the page.

Journalist writing


It’s safe to say that Tonia Dolla$ is not what you would consider as your average joe this young American rapper has taken over the UK her style and music. Queen of underground witch hop (Azealia Banks inspired). Tonia truly be ‘killing ‘em’ . It is important that Hip hop see new faces in the industries and how hip hop evolves with new genres of hip hop each and every day and Tonia is just that. Miss Dolla$ finally releases her latest mix-tape ‘YXUNG GODES$’ this month she refers her new project as being ‘dope’. As her dope trendy clothing and her bright personality definitely brought light into the studio
Who are you as an artist?
I’m a lost teen in the world trying to prove myself as not being an unable lazy moron but look like an individual that can produce sick beats and make grannies dance. I’m music and I’m fashion that’s who I be, west coast repping, UK living that is Tonia Bank$ for you.

What does music mean to you?
Music is an expression of the soul, heart and mind. Like a song could be so deep and I think that from the soul and heart and could be upbeat making people want to dance I think that’s from the mind and heart. Music is so important to me its helps to remove myself from the world when I’m stressed, music keeps me sane she adds my music explains who I is be when I’m misunderstood.

What do you think about the music scene?

I think the music scene is OK I mean I think there’s definitely space for new fresh artist. I really big groups like Odd future and A$AP Mob shout outs to them! I think they’re a group of very talented artist and aren’t appreciated enough but then you get the big dogs of hip hop like Jay z, Kanye and Nas. But Tonia Dolla$ is ready to take over the music scene y’all aren’t ready.

How do you want to change it?

I want to bring something new to the table. I don’t want to be compared to female rappers like Nicki and Lil Kim they’re there already I’m not like them and neither is my music....I’m not dissing I just don’t like to be compared to them. I want to be able to bring grime style and hip hop together with a dash of R’N’B just think A$AP ROCKY, CHIPMUNK & FRANK OCEAN merged into one that would be dope as f**k!

Talk about your style?
 
Err...I can’t really put a finger on my style she laughs. I say that I like to express my emotion through my clothing sometimes I’m young Azeazlia Banks then I’m your trap dj ...sorry I’m a bit weird she laughs  . I like love wearing beanies and trainers a lot (we could see as she wore lime green Air max 1 hyperbeast mag approves) but sometimes I add a girlie element to my outfit and wear a skater skirt.

Who inspires you?

Music wise when it comes to inspiration... I’m inspired by many artists’ not just rappers but singers too. I look up to Azealia, Aaliyah, Robb Banks$, Angel haze and Kilo Kush. All my inspirations are all different in a way but they’ve helped me to find myself as an artist. But when it comes to Fashion I’m inspired by Chanel Iman and Jasmine Sanders because of the way they endorse the clothing.

Talk about your latest single?
Ahh! She screams I can’t wait till my new single drops. I don’t want to say much ‘cos I don’t want to give it away but what I can say is that is rad. It’s a witch hop classic I can’t wait for y’all to hear it! The beat makes you wanna dance shout out Jahlil Beats for helping me making the beats for my single and mixtape!

Any tips for your fans?
All I gotta say is the life is hard even though I’m still only 16 (yes it’s hard to believe!) the world will eat you alive don’t let it eat you! Be yourself because that’s the best of you. Remember you’re all rad as f**k you make the world go round!
