This document analyzes the contents page of the magazine "Vibe". It features American rapper Kanye West in a mid-shot pose with his hands in his pockets. One notable element is a red heart held across his chest by a hand, which could symbolize someone having his heart or reference his album "808s & Heartbreak". The contents listing is written in a fancy calligraphy-like style that is vague about the actual magazine contents. It also includes a fashion section, cleverly relating to Kanye's style and the interests of the target audience. The "Contents" title stands out against the dull color palette as it is broken down and in black letters.

1. Contents Page Analysis 2
By Nishat Aziz.

3. This is the contents page of ‘Vibe’ magazine. Featured on this
contents page is American rapper Kanye West.
The main image is a mid-shot of Kanye which allows us to see
his body and his head. He is posed with his hands in his
pockets and his head slightly slanted down. One of the main
features that stand out in this main image is the hand across
him with the red heart. This is significant as it can relate to the
reader as it is trying to win over the reader to get them to buy
it. Also the colours contrast with each other. The white, blue
and grey which are very dull colours suggest unhappiness,
depression and misery whereas the red suggests passion, love
and blood. Finally, the red heart could be a reference to his
album cover for his album ‘808s & Heartbreak’.

4. The contents listing is written in a very fancy text which
makes it almost look like its been done with a calligraphy
pen because of the extended ends to letters. Also the
contents is actually quite vague from how they have only
written about 4 or 5 of the magazines featured content.
Vibe have not only thought about the music aspect, but
they have included a section about fashion. This is clever
as not only have they got Kanye to dress fashionably but
fashion is an issue that would interest the target
audience.

5. The master head that reads ‘Contents’ is
different to other content pages as the title is
broken down. It makes it look unique. Also, even
though it is black with the dull colours on the
page it makes it have a large impact as the black
stands out against the grey.

6. The colour pallet used on this contents page is
very vague. They have used white, grey and blue
which are very dull colours but the black text
makes it stand out as well as the red heart which
is being held by another hand across Kanyes
chest. This could emphasise that someone has
his heart.
