The document summarizes a magazine double page spread (DPS) featuring images and an article about singer Rihanna. On the left side, a mid-shot image portrays Rihanna as vulnerable and alone to show her relatable human side. On the right, a confident pose in bright lighting suggests the article will reveal her truth. A pull quote from Rihanna about her fashion inspiration entices readers to relate to her. Information on purchasing her outfits subtly advertises brands. The simple black and white layout and fonts aim to reflect on Rihanna's success through the eyes of her past.
This double page spread features an interview with artist Lily Allen. A large photo of Allen dominates one page, showing her in casual clothing relating to indie music. The title of the article, a quote from the interview, spans both pages in an uneven font possibly representing the article's unusual topics. The center fold has been limited by having just the title and photo overlap slightly.
Vibe magazine targets a young audience interested in hip-hop and R&B music. It uses creative magazine covers frequently featuring Mary J. Blige and models to appeal to readers. The magazine includes celebrity gossip and profiles of up-and-coming artists. In contrast, NME targets an older audience interested in punk and rock music. It uses vibrant colors and names of popular bands to draw attention on its covers. Both magazines effectively use cover design and prominent artists to attract their intended target audiences.
The magazine cover features a mid-shot image of Lady Gaga to attract readers as she is a well-known artist.

A preview of a "special report" on Fox News is placed prominently to draw readers in and encourage purchases. Key information like the title and previews are placed on the right side and in large, capitalized text to catch readers' attention.
