MagazineResearchNumberTwo.


The second magazine cover that i am going to evaluate is called VIBE. This magazine is aimed more towards people who are interested in hip hop.
The masthead is presented in a large uppercase black font to make it stand out to the readers. It is presented on a lighter background to make the word stand out.
The main image is a medium close up of a male artist 'R Kelly' which is slightly layered over the masthead. He is looking straight outwards so this catches the eye of readers as it appears that he is looking at you.
The text has been positioned around the singers head to create a frame which draws attention to him. The text used for this is red and black and these are the only two colours which are showing on the singer. This is his red top and his black skin and this makes it look very professional and well thought through. The second biggest font of the page is the singers name as this magazine will be including him over several pages through interviews and images. The reason it is so big is that it will catch the eye of his fans and other people who are interested in him.

Also there are two other words which are related to R Kelly due to the positioning of them on his body, these are written in yellow uppercase lettering to stand out from the other words. These are Innocent? and Guilty? These words are made to stand out as these two words create a sentence which people really want to find the answer to as he has yet to be trialed.
