Research And Planning: Music Magazine Analysis 2.

VIBE music magazine.
The genre which this magazine appeals to is again pop/RnB music, I can tell this because of the artist on the front cover, Beyonce is a famously known singer with music based on this genre. The colors on this cover are quite bland, but effective in giving a simple natural feeling, they have also used a color theme of different shades of blue,white and black. The main photograph is the type of photograph that is just a simple image of an artist rather than giving a point. The stories on sides are also relevent to this genre as they are pop/RnB artists themselves.
The representation of the magazine seems more cover up than the previous magazine, the artist on the cover is wearing a simple white dress, which covers most of her body that doesn't look too reveling or sexy. The attitude she give is a serious expression with no emotion or intention which represents the magazine in a certain way.
The audience with the magazine attracts is maybe a more female audience, at ages approximately 13-19 depending on people. I'm unsure as to if this magazine is in general a magazine aimed at female, but this issue certainly is, as there is no sexy provocative images or stories.
The media language presented is shown by the type of shot, which is medium/long shot, this type of shot is what I may consider using on my magazine cover. The fonts and their sizes are all quite small in the same font and looking consistent throughout. There are no props presented on the cover as the artist is just standing in front of a plain black background.
