Analysis of Front cover

The second magazine cover I am going to analyze is this Vibe music magazine.

This magazine has a plain black background with a white title which makes it stand out clearly which makes it eye catching. the writing on the rest of the page has an electric yellow and also more white writing. using the black background allows the colors of the writing to stand and to attract the reader/audience.

There is a picture of the rapper, Drake, who has become one of the most loved and well known rappers of this present day. the expression in the picture makes him come across as a typical bad boy, which is the main look for a rapper. He is also wearing a plain black shirt which blends in with the background of the magazine. in white writing on his t-shirt it has the word 'unstoppable'. This makes the reader want to buy this magazine to fine out why or to find out the latest about the well known rapper. On the right and side of the picture in the main headline about Drake, in electric yellow writing is his name in capital letters. underneath this it says 'hip-hops new religion'. This writing is quite striking to the reader/audience.

Around the magazine there are other story lines to attract the audience. for example 'exclusive: Chris brown the definitive interview'. these stories are recent headlines in the music industry so they will make most of the public want to buy the magazine to find out the truth and read all about it.
