'Vibe' magazine, which is a well known R&B magazine. The layout of the
content page is a medium close up shot of a famous R&B rapper, which takes
up most of the space on the content page. This is important to the genre as of
the magazine as through the chosen image it is made clear the magazine is a
R&B based magazine, this is because he is a well known R&B rapper. The content
page is not very balanced as the image takes up most the space, however there
is writing on the left side of the content page making it left alignment. The contrast
of the white on a dark red allows the writing to stand out, also the ‘V’ on the
content page in the darker red back to relate it to the title of the magazine. The

makes the audience observers and does not include them, just attracts them. So
it relates to the audience by making them either inspires to be like him or a
sexual attraction. The written language on the content page is informal and
relaxed and it relates to the audience and gives of a relaxed tone. The writing
on the magazine is in capital and bold to show that it is the content page so

is not as big. The information tells the readers what is going to be further in
the magazine so the stories and this attracts attention to make the reader want
