Research And Planning: Music Magazine Analysis 1.

VIBE, magazine analysis.
This magazine presents the genre as a pop/RnB magazine, I came to this conclusion because of the photograph, there is a pop artist on the front wearing clothes which agree with this type of genre. The colors of the clothes are pink and white showing a fun loving style related to pop music. The fonts on the magazine is inviting and friendly font for the reader. The stories on the cover are all about the pop genre and the artists which link to pop music.
The representation the magazine shows that the interest is directed to both male and female, a unisex magazine for pop music lovers. The 'VIBE' company have selected a well known good looking artist to attract all audiences. They have chose here outfit to be reveling and sexy, yet girlie. The attitude and facial expressions of the artist is a confident position, standing straight bearing all, the facial expression gives the impression that she wants to look, and noes that she looks good.
The audience for this magazine is for people who like pop and RnB music of ages from 13-19 which could vary considering individuals. I can tell this because of the outlook of the magazine it is teenage-like and has an approachable feel.
The media language of the magazine are conveyed with the shot type selected, a long shot has been used to show the full length of her extravagant outfit, the colors stick to a main 3 color rule of white,blue and pink with a little amount of black, this is effective in making it look bright and stand out when on a shop shelf. The fonts and their sizes vary and look good in making some stories stand out more than others.. On this particular cover there are no props used but there is a CGI'd background effect of a floral and clouded scene.
