continued research of r'n'b magazine covers


this is a magazine cover of the magazine company vibe. i think this magazine seems to be aimed at both male and female audiences, around the age of 15-20 years old. i think this because the artists included on the front who are inside the magazine are popular with both males and females, for example Busta Rhymes. the model Janet Jackson who has been used is not a very popular artist of today, more of an 'old school' artist which suggest the magazine could be aimed to a more mature audience. the front cover picture of Janet Jackson shows that her body language is very open and confident, she also has a cheeky, confident happy facial expression, almost like a wink to the reader. this gives a definite appeal to males for her appearance, but also females for her fashion. there are many cover lines included around the image to give the reader an idea of what is inside. the colour scheme used is of 2 or 4 colours all over the page; blue, orange, black and white which all contrast with each other to make the magazine look good. overall the cover doesnt look too bright but looks mature and appealing; even though it does look rather similar to other r'n'b music magazines this one has a lot more cover lines around the image than the other magazines i have looked at.
