Laurelle Duah-Nantwi 12F

Here the artist is represented as attractive as there is a male audience and this would make it more appealing to the male customers.

There is a classic mast head and there is a clear, bold colour scheme of red, black, white and grey.

There are only two types of font used however they have opted not to advertise any competitions etc and have stuck to mostly music related content.

Here the artist is represented as aggressive which is clear through his pose and his topless appearance. He also has what appears to be expensive jewellery on which represents high amounts of wealth.

The mast head doesn't necessarily stick to conventions as it is not spread horizontally across the top of the magazine but in the top left corner.

They have also opted to use a picture as the background of the magazine instead of the typical plain, coloured background. The background also relates to the content of the magazine therefore giving readers an insight as to what they should expect when reading the magazine.

The target audience of Vibe magazine are mainly pre-teen to adult males. The colour scheme is basic and therefore appeals to a broader market as it is neither male or female colouring.Artists are presented in a fun, musical way as most artists displayed on the magazine are either smiling or pulling a calm, almost wise facial expression. They do not stick to the conventions of using boxes. The format is slightly different to that of other magazines as there isn’t a grid showing other artists/ celebrities to be featured in the magazine and there is a small printed text not in any form of text box. As a music magazine they break conventions of a strictly music only magazine as they include a subheading referring to clothing trends etc.
