The document discusses magazine design inspiration taken from VIBE magazine. VIBE uses a single dominant image of an individual to draw the reader's attention. It has simple, not too bright colors and clean design. The cover lines are also simple to keep the focus on the central image. The author aimed to follow VIBE's setup of a dominant central image overlaid on the masthead to showcase the artist rather than the magazine name. A mid-shot photo from the waist up was used to target young, trendy, modern readers.

2. When I was creating
my magazine I took a
lot of inspiration from
VIBE……
VIBE use one individual
person to entice the
readers attention, this
image shows
dominance as there is
a lot of text around
the image but it
doesn’t draw any
attention away from
the image itself.
Overall this is a simple
design with clean and
not to bright
colours, to advertise
to the audience and
gain there attention
through the image .

3. Spin is similar to VIBE
as they both use
bland colours but
with one colour being
bright allowing it to
stand out.
The cover lines are
simple and not to
extravagant which
means it keeps the
focus on the main
image in the centre
of the page.
This is simple but
gives a good clean
and professional look
like VIBE.

4. What I aimed to do
with mine was to
follow their set
up, which was show a
dominant picture on
the front cover.
The photo is layered
over the masthead to
show more interest in
the artist himself
rather than the
magazine masthead.
This Photo is a Mid-Shot
from the waste
upwards and showing
him as the main photo
helps to target my
initial
audience, young, trend
y modern people.
