For the magazine ad I kept with the urban setting and have two images of the artist holding his own DVD. the reason I did this was because it helps them understand who the artist is and creating a link between him and the product, making it a better advertisement for the artist and his product. The slogan is GET IT!, trying to give the same feeling as Your Country Needs You, giving the image that you need to get this DVD. Also there is a mid shot of him looking angrily at the viewer, adding to the stereotypical image of a rapper.
Use other images that (for you) show 'stereotypical rappers' - post these here and annotate to say what elements you will draw upon for your own cover design. There have to be images that inspire your ideas (or other artisits). Locate pictures of these and post to you blog. An assessor will want to get a sense of the whole 'process' of the development of your ideas - from start to finish.
