Front Cover Analysis 2

The magazine title vibe is also specialised in r&b and can see this from the artist shown on the front cover. Vibe is a music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones. The publication predominantly features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers. The masthead of the billboard is written in a big, bold font, in red which immediately attracts the readers attention. Also having the title behind the artist is better as you can see the whole key image and it helps the audience to see it, which will then attract a larger audience.

On the top of the magazine, the masthead with the other names of the artists shows that the articles about them are included in the magazine too. Even though the main image is focused on her, these mastheads also attract the audience so they can read about them too. the sell line 'New York' and 'Miami' shows us that these states are the most popular with the r&b genre in America. If you see other vibe magazines then you will notice how all of them have a number/numbers on the front cover.

the website vibe.com issimilar to a synergy website & magazine. the connotations of the colour red shows lust and it is quite a passionate colour. she looks vulnerable and seductive, this implies what modern music is all about at this point in time . Also she is trying to attempting to capture the attention of the male audience. there are downloads for people who are technologically able/savvy.
