L- The colours of the font on the contents page contrast. The white connotes purity innocence and virginity whereas the black connotes power and evil. This could be representing the magazine to having two sides; it also could link with the shot of the model creating a v with her legs. This could be symbolizing the symbol of the magazine ‘vibe’ or again link with the font of her making the ‘v’ to stand for virginity yet how she is doing it is done in a sexual manner with her legs out, with her legs being the main focus of the image. The contents titles are in italics which represent elegance.
I-Vibe is a large growing industry, which was bought by InterMedia Partners. (Publishers running it now) ‘Vibe also publishes books on hip-hop culture’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_(magazine)
I- The ideology of this picture creates the message of sex, from the half-naked girl on the page, the girl creates a direct gaze with the audience. It could be seen as hypnotizing with the audience and show that the music that is created could be hypnotizing. The values it represents is elegance being sexy.
A- ‘VIBE serves as a portal to a growing young, trendsetting, multicultural audience. The VIBE audience is comprised of trendsetting individuals passionate about music, entertainment, fashion and popculture.’ http://www.vibelifestylenetwork.com/VLN-Media-Kit-2012.pdf
R- The artist on the cover is represented half naked; this represents her desire for love and represents her being sexy. It also represents what the music is about being love and sex. It is showing that the audience appeal is aimed at men as they are using the woman as an object of reference to them. Yet the model is still seen glamorous from her jewelry. The italics of the font could also link witch the model being sleek, elegant and sexy.
