The big letter ‘V’ located behind the artist is used to reflect the
magazine name, Vibe. This is a key feature that is consistent in most
Vibe magazines.

2. The font of the title ‘Contents’ is big and bold which makes it stand out, catching the
reader’s attention. It is in the colour white and this makes it even more effective
because it perfectly blends in with the red background. It also has a symbolic link with
the sub-titles because they are also white. This makes it eye catching and reflective.
The readers are lured into one chain that is around the artist’s neck and this chain
stands out because it has a face on it. It is worn by the artist, to make him and the
chain stand out.

The background is in a light red. However we can see a big letter ‘V’ in a dark red located
above the artists head. The use of the ‘V’ brands the magazine and enables the reader to
identify which magazine they are reading by just one letter instead of writing out the whole
word. The font of the text is white and this clashes with the colour of the background, which
makes the magazine more appealing to the reader.
