research and planning: music magazine analysis

 This music magazine is the same genre of music that I am going to use in my music magazine, I have used this vibe magazine because it shows of what genre of music that it is, which is rap / hip hop. The audience for a magazine of this genre is mostly teenagers and early to mid 20 year old's. the layout of this magazine is very simple, following the three colour rule, and having a medium shot of one person on the cover who relates to the genre of music that the magazine is about. I can tell tat this front page is for the genre of music that I chose because of the way that he is dressed and the way he has the look of all rap/ hip-hop artist, which is the blank facial expression which makes him look like he really doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him. You can also tell what genre of magazine this is from the fact that the colour scheme is all black, white and red, which because of the white changes it from something more heavy metal to hip-hop.
