2. Pug
Masthead is a
very bold and
large font and
takes up about a
fifth of the page
and appears on
the left third. It
features what
appears to be
the
characteristic
colour scheme
of red, white
and black.
Cover Lines in
recurring font and
colours of black and
red. Left third has
complete majority of
Cover and sell lines
conforming to
conventions as the left
third is usually the only
visible part when being
displayed.
Header uses recurring colour
scheme but breaks the red on
white by using a red template
with white font
Main Image shows
medium two shot of
members of The Last
Shadow Puppets
they are pictured
looking
indifferent, wearing
black clothing in
front of a almost
plain white
background and
standing back to
back symbolizing
their status as a
band and
highlighting their
visual similarity.
Main sell line mentions
an interview with
pictured band and is the
main article of the issue
it appears in the brands
characteristic colours of
red and white and the
recurring sans serif font.
Bar code, date, issue and
price are typically in the
lower right corner
conforming to conventions
3. Masthead in characteristic
font style and
Large font that Takes up a
quarter of the page and all of
the top third. The font colour
is orange and is the same
colour as the cover lines on
the left. Vibe is a long
established brand and so a
partially covered masthead is
Still useable.
Majority of
cover lines on
left third and
in colourful
fonts with the
recurring
colours of this
issue: orange
and blue.
Barcode, date
and price are
conventionally
featured in
bottom left
corner
Header in recurring colour
of blue and the same font
as the cover lines.
Main Image is
a mid shot of
Janet Jackson
in casual
clothing
holding a
camera in an
exaggerated
and slightly
sexual fashion.
The target audience
of this magazine is
likely very broad
and could be both
male and female
from the ages of 1530.
Cover lines
are also
featured on
the right side
in a different
font style and
colour to
those on the
right.
4. Header is in a yellow colour to make it stand out against the
pink . It features extra content and possible giveaways.
Left third is
unconvention
ally lacking of
cover lines
but features
two main
stories.
Overall the magazine has
a very informal look
compared to other more
professional magazines.
This also makes me think
the magazine is aimed at
a younger audience.
Moreover, a wide range
of font styles and colours
are used compared to
more professional
magazines. This creates
a casual aesthetic and a
somewhat juvenile cover
most likely aimed at
those from 11-16 years
of age.
Barcode, date and price is
unconventionally nearer to the bottom
centre rather then the bottom corner.
Pug
Masthead in
characteristic font
and colour of light
and dark pink. The
overall colour
scheme and
aesthetic of the
magazine tells me
it is aimed at a
teenage girl
audience.
Main image is
mid shot of
man in black
shirt and hat.
This image and
the pink colour
scheme could
insinuate the
magazine is
aimed at a
young female
audience.
5. Conventionally
there is a date
line on the
contents page
and it appears
on the top left
along with the
issue number.
Editors
letter, sometimes
only on first issues
or important or
special issues.
Seemingly it is
present in perhaps
the majority of
issues of this
magazine.
Overall
colour
scheme of
yellow, bla
ck and
white. The
colour
black ties
in to rock
and
alternative
themes.
Headings in
characteristic font
style and white
colour. The
damaged look of
the font has
connotations of
rock which goes
well with the
magazines sub
genres.
Main image is an
aerial shot of a
man who has
seemingly fallen
on stage. This
goes well with
the rock theme.
6. Characteristic
logo of ‘V’
perhaps
unconventionally
shortened from
Vibe. Is a central
point of the
page, drawing
attention to the
brand as well as
the main image.
Features and
contents in
house style
font and
simply black
font colour.
Overall colour scheme is
monochrome with slight hints
of colour. This creates a
professional, mature image
and an interesting artistic
effect.
Contents title in house
style font
unconventionally
positioned in a stack like
manner which connotes
a rebellious image which
perhaps suits the genres
represented in the
magazine
Main image of
man in suit
looking mostly
indifferent as well
as slightly
arrogant. It is a
monochrome
image contrasted
with a woman's
hand carrying a
red heart. This
creates an
interesting artistic
effect.

house style font
Features and
contents of
magazine in
house style

this section
stand out as a
more elitist or
‘special’ section
of the
magazine.

Overall colour scheme of pink and white and the large
amount of pictures create a casual feel and suggests the
magazine is aimed at preteen and teenage girls.
