This is a very unique, different approach to what would be included in a music magazine, it is not the typical music based article. However, is a rappers view on the war in Iraq. This would not be expected to be found in any other music magazine, and is what may make this magazine more interesting and appealing.
Part 2: This shows that there were and will be several other articles about this issue which would make people want to buy the next magazine to carry on reading the articles.
The fact that the artist is wearing an Arabian scarf around his head would prove he is from an Iranian country. The figure he is showing with his fingers represents "peace" and implies he is a good person and wants the war to end and for there to be peace this would allow him to be liked by the public and people would feel happy reading the article.
The artist used in the image looks like he would be from the middle east, however because the picture has been taken with him placed on an British tank, it could show the similarity between the two sides and in a way represents two sides to him which young people who are born in Britain or America but are from middle eastern countries could relate to him and the article. This would be good to include in a music magazine as young people are more likely to read music magazines rather than newspapers or listen to the news so this way they would still get information on war and world realities by reading the music magazine.
His face from this image does not seem happy or amused at the idea of the war and therefore shows the audience there is something wrong with it. This would grab attention as pictures in music magazines are usually of happy celebrities, smiling with a positive approach. However, to see this one with a sad, angry face would reflect the darker side to the world.
The colours that are used in the article are very dull, dark colours to represent and emphasise the seriousness of the writing. It does not use bright colourful writing, so does not give a positive happy feeling. Moreover the fonts used are very simple and formal which shows it is a more mature, informal piece of writing.

Some really good points here - I like the way that you've dissected how the image works. You could be even more analytical in your approach to language and take great care over spelling please. However, this blog is looking really good and shows real progression in planning and research.
