The masthead at the top left draws immediate attention with its bold, simple style that references historical stories but with a modern twist, giving the impression this magazine features iconic musicians. The strapline "THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSIC MAGAZINE" in all capital letters psychologically suggests this is truly the best music magazine. The feature plugs use different sized fonts to list content in order of prestige. The Noel Gallagher cover image shows him confident and ready to take on challenges, fitting the magazine's semiotics. The name "VIBE" references the rhythm of music to indicate the genre. Plugs throughout interlink with the magazine's themes of confidence, strength and ego in music and culture.
