On the magazine there is a colour photograph of a woman who is standing in a sort of slanted position, where her hands are over her head looking directly at the camera, the photograph of the woman is on basically the whole page. It’s a medium long shot where her full upper body is showing. Behind the women is the Vibe masthead, and along the sides are all the cover-lines. But the main colour theme to the magazine is White and Red, which contrasts with the back ground which is dark blue and light blue which might symbolise good and bad and might make reference to the cover line of the woman which says ‘Keri Hilson has been a very bad girl’.
Masthead:Vibe’s headline is very powerful and bold which really stands out to anyone and very eye catching and iconic. The font used is a serif font, the font is in bold and capital letters though out. The words 'Vibe' is a shorter term and a slang term for rhythm or any musical aspect which contrasts well with the whole theme of the magazine, and the name 'Vibe' tells the audience this magazine is urban music based.
Character:The main photograph of the magazine is of a American R&B recording artist Keri Hilson.
Composition:Keri is posed in a relaxed and chilled way but at the same time Keri is posed in a suggestive way, maybe to even match her suggestive policewoman outfit.
Costume: Her costume is a corset showing off her curves, and a police Hat. I think that this costume was chosen to go with the sidelines and to also appeal to the target audience of the magazine, which is mostly men.
NVC:Her whole body position is very seductive, and her mouth is open, and her hand is resting on her head and is looking directly at the camera.
Lighting: The lighting is more powerful on the photograph and and the rest is fading into the back
Setting: Theres is no setting in voled in this photograph only a mixture of light blue and dark blue which in my opinion can symbolise good and bad.
Cover-Lines:
The Boldest cover line, goes with the picture which says: 'Keri Hilson has been a very bad girl' this can refer to the photograph and the costume, also the way the background expresses the bold cover line by making it dark blue and light blue which represents good and bad.Another reason for implying that Keri is a bad girl is Keri Hilson's album No Boys Allowed, which can also refer to her costume and the way shes posed.Also the rest of the cover lines shows us that the magazine itself is urban as it mentions Keri Hilson, T.I, Tupac, and Jay-z which are all part of the hip hop and urban industry. All the cover lines use a sans serif front.This can tell the audience hot gossip about celebrities and music.
Target Audience:
Overall i believe that the target audience this is aimed at is people who are interested in music but i think mostly men then females, aged 16 and over because in my opinion i think that music shouldn't have a age limit.
