Vibe Contents Page analysis- R&B

I have chosen a contents page fron Vibe magazine, Vibe magazine consists of the latest music, music reviews, interviews and fashion. The contents page is sexual as the main image is of a male singer with his bare chest on show this draws in more female attention to the magazine.  The man in the picture has a number of jewellery  and gold teeth this shows he is a successful artist and is wealthy. This contents page only includes one image and is placed in the centre of the page this puts the readers focus on the image as its the centre of attention. The image is a medium/ close up shot you are able to see the man making eye contact with the readers this may be done to create a link or a connection with the readers. The Title is split in three lines this is due to the title being in big font and capital letters this makes an impact as it is eye catching due to it being unusal and different, white font is used for the title and for the writing on the left in contrast to the red background which is very strong , powerful and vibrant and the white is peacful, light and calm. The image on the contents page is a stereotypical veiw of Hip- Hop artist as they upfront with their success and wealth and this is show through the jewellery. The tatoos on his body give the readers an impression of him being hard, strong and intimidating. On the left side of the contents page it includes what the magazine features such as the latest music, new artists and a section focusing on fashion so it goes outside the subject of music and goes into something different this attracts audience who are not necessairly into music.
