Vibe Magazine Cover







This VIBE magazine is a lot different to my first magazine that I have researched contrasts as the style of magazine is completely different as it has the Gangster/Hip-Hop style of lay out and as the main picture is a famous rapper “50 Cent” as he is wearing dark/rapper clothes and his angry facial expression shows that it isn’t the nicest magazine going. It could seem a grimy magazine, the title “VIBE” is covered by part of “50 Cent’s” head this could show that this magazine will sell no matter what as it could be big branded magazine. And the writers are assured that there magazine will sell other writing around the front page spread has quotes from “50 Cent” the magazine quotes ‘Who’s afraid of 50 Cent?’ and as it states on the front page “I DON’T SEE SENCE IN RESOLVING ISSUES WITH ANYBODY” this make the magazine more violent as its threatening words from “50 Cent” other small articles are on there also such as all the artists named I.E “Rihanna T-Pain” other big artists inside this magazine.

Analysis On NME Mag Cover


The main shot captures the photo of ‘The Wombats’ casually posing for the front page spread they contrast on there white background that makes the actual band stand out more and it looks more effective. The fonts over the page looks friendly there fore it has a nice presence about it the, font colours contrast also on to the photo and background. The colours show it’s a friendly magazine with just music and news yellow and blue are warming colours. The big NME title stands out mainly as it is large and red, with a white boarder line around it. To make the title stand out more than most other things on the page.
At the top of the page there is a heading in bold font ‘GLASTO’ this shows what’s music festivals have been going on and what bands and solo artists have performed there and gives you feed back from the event it self from eye whiteness reporters. Also around the page there are sub headings shows you recent things that have happened in the music industry ‘569 UK gigs listed’ this shows that just in the UK that music bands are a really popular also people in the music industry as Muse Panic At The Disco + many more bands are shown on the front cover.
