Magazine Analysis: VIBE


When I look at this magazine I know that it is definitely a music magazine. This is because the title is related to music and is a musical term. Looking at the front cover I would guess that the magazine will have articles that are about things like money, drugs, R&B and music.

The target audience are music and rap fans. Normally teenagers and young adults would buy this magazine. Their interests would be in money and good music. The central image is using the personal mode of address. It wants the reader to have a close relationship with the person and want to know more about them by reading the magazine.

The person on the front cover is Kendrick Lamar, this is because he is making good music at the moment and everyone wants to hear about him. The message that he is trying to give is that he is rich and is doing well with his music.

The design of the title suggests that the magazine wants to be the biggest and best as it is in a bold font. It tells us that the magazine wants to be the main magazine for music.

The puffs suggest that the magazine will be like a guide to certain problems. For example, a guide to the newest movies and music.

There are barely any colours except red white and black which suggest that the magazine wants the title to stand out. I find them attractive because it makes the magazine look professional and slick.

The magazine has used strategies such as questions, they ask the reader questions which will make them want to read on and find out the answer.
