VIBE

Lil Wayne on the cover of Vibe:

This is an R&B music magazine it keeps an individual updated on what’s new with R&B itself and keep up with the artists. Lil Wayne is the artist on the front cover it is a head and shoulder shot, his expression is very aggressive and scary looking that indicated that the content is not for younger readers. The colour scheme consists of red, black, white, yellow, and purple there are only four colours it is consistent and by using those colours and it helps the image of Lil Wayne stand out and it is overlapping the masthead (VIBE).
The pull quote is "I'm more afraid of life than death" from the interview with Lil Wayne that might interest the reader into finding out what he was talking about.
The masthead is blue and bright compared to the other text on the cover it is also a different font from the pull quotes and other headings.
The font used for the pull quote is much bigger than the other fonts and its red and black alongside being slightly slanted so it is more noticeable on the page it also has drop shadow. The only thing that is written in bright red and is big is VIBE and LIL WAYNE which show that they are the two most important things on the page.
On the right hand side of the magazine the text is more yellow and black but on the left hand side it is black and red, the colours are equally balanced. Lil Wayne’s hand gesture can be interpreted in a bad way and considered a gang gun sign that links back to R&B in this day and age revolving around sex and drugs.
