Analysing `Vibe` magazine

The only image on the page is of Drake who is wearing a cap and wearing black top. The image relates to the written content as the magazine is a Vibe magazine and the image has Drake posing as you would do in music video and this relates as he does R&B music and he is a R&B singer. The image is framed onto the front magazine title which shows that the magazine is well known and people already know what it is by the look of it. The image is framed all around the page as it is quite big and it is a medium shit taken showing the R&B singer which shows he is important in this magazine. Mise-en-scene is used as he is wearing a dark black top with a back cap which is showing how music is represented as the image shows attitude of the singer and this is how R&B Music is showed and this is an image of Drake showing how music is presented. The image has a good relationship with the audience as it is showing attitude and the clothes blends in with background as the colours which are black and yellow show the R&B are classy and trendy in music. The magazine makes the audience think that this is a popular magazine and shows that music has class and you can be creative with music.

 There is use of language used where the word `unstoppable`` shows the audience that R&B is unstoppable and the music is lived on forever and Drake is posing above this showing attitude and showing that R&B is there forever and he is representing it and making it look cool. The language isn’t proper formal as it is straight forward to the point and is telling the audience what is in the magazine and the language also shows that it is directly pointing to the audience as it is showing the audience that there is lots in the magazine for them to read and makes it sound interesting the way it is written as the phrase which says ``Drake Hip Hop’s NEW RELIGION`` is showing us that Drakes got another religion and that is R&B music which shows that he is in love with R&B music. The language used here is straight to the point and quite simple as it makes the audience think that he has another religion and makes the audience want to read about it more. The text links to the image as the word unstoppable shows how it blends in with the image as he is showing attitude to the audience about how R&B music is unstoppable and getting the audience’s attention by doing this and so does the text.

The face expression which is on Drakes face shows the attitude of an R&B singer as it shows that they don’t care what other people think but R&B music means a lot to them and Drakes face expression is showing that he is represented as R&B music. The image has been placed in the middle but everywhere around the magazine to grab the audience’s attention as it shows `Swag` as they call it when someone has attitude and the look of a popular person who has really cool clothing and expensive brands. It is important of where it is placed as there is only one image of person and it only represents R&B music so it has to be big and be representing the music but also representing something in the magazine as it has to be suitable for this as R&B is music where a lot of attitude is shown. The most space which is taken in the magazine is the image as it has to stand out and the expression on Drakes face is him showing attitude representing R&B music as the image has been placed everywhere so it is eye-catching and this makes the audience look at him and by that image, the audience already know he is representing R&B music and the clothing he is wearing too. The image has a very important part as it has to be layered where people can see it straight away then read the other things on the magazine. The visual impact of the colours is black and yellow which is showing that this is a very different sort of magazine and it stands out towards the audience and shows us that these two colours are mainly represented in particular as they are represented for R&B Music. The visual impact of the image is that it is quite dark and Drake is wearing black so it shows that R&B music is hidden and quite mysterious and the image shows the audience that R&B music on the image is being represented as dark and hidden and stands out to the audience.

The genre of the magazine is shown through the colours as the colours are black and yellow and they are two different sorts of colours bought together and showing the music R&B. The colours really stand out as one colour is dark which black showing mysterious music is and one colour is yellow which is bright which really stands out to the audience as it is an ordinary colour for a magazine.
