Contents Page Analysis - VIBE

  • This contents page is extremely minimalistic, perhaps to place more emphasis upon the background image.
  • The black and white theme relates to the black and white image of the artist on the front cover, therefore pursuing the colour scheme.
  • Additionally. there are very few sub-headings implememented in order to categorise and create an ease of reference for the readers.
  • There is limited text deposited over only a small section of the page, perhaps this is done because the type of readers in which this magazaine would attract, do not want fancy lettering and a crowded page, they'd simply prefer to have a more direct and succinct link to specific pages.
  • Furthermore, the posture of the central figure is evidently relaxed, laid back and clearly very serious, ultimately indicating a sense of importance and dominance.
  • Similiarly, the cheain in which he is wearng supports the rap genre as it communicates the idea of wealth.
  • Readers immediately get the impression that this magazine has more of a serious yet casual approach as opposed to magazines such as SmashHits and NME.
