Analysis

As the

contents page

has been

separated into

two clear

sections;

Features and

Fashion, this

then allows

the readers to

grasp what

certain topics

would be

underneath

each section.

The V in the

background is

initially there

to represent

that the

magazine

belongs to

Vibe.

The use of Ciara

posing in a sexy

position

reflects that

the magazine

belongs to the

genre of hip hop

and R&B.

The positioning

of the artists’

leg is used to

catch the

audience’s

attention an

allow them to

focus on where

her feet are

pointing to.

The use of the

text ‘contents’

being big and

bold, allows

the audience to

know what page

they are on.

As the feature

‘Fashion’ has

its own

section, this

makes it easier

for the readers

to visit a

topic that they

are interested

in which is

under certain

feature. Also

both

subheadings

have been used

The artist is wearing

Analysis

The use of

the ‘V’ on

the top left

hand corner

represents

that this

magazine

belongs to

Vibe

magazine.

This shows the

numbers of

certain pages

that will

feature within

the magazine

and it also

displays the

headlines and

titles to

certain

articles and

top stories.

This allows

the readers to

know exactly

what page they

must visit to

find a certain

topic.

The use of a

well-known

artist may

signify that

she will

feature in

article

within the

magazine.

The outfit of

the artist

does not

necessarily

suggest that

she belongs to

the genre of

either Hip-Hop

or R&B as her

clothing is

not typically

revealing. The

use of this

well-known and

familiar

artist will

allow the

audience to

realise what

genre magazine

it may be.

The use of large jewellery

or in other words ‘bling’,

this also relates to the

genre of either R&B or Hip-

Hop music industry as the

use of large jewellery is as

convention to R&B females.
