This document analyzes content pages from a hip-hop magazine published by Vibe to help develop the author's own magazine content page. It examines layout, use of images and text, and consistency across issues. Key aspects summarized include the prominent use of the letter V as the magazine's branding, placement of larger artist images alongside smaller descriptive text, and consistency in layout to familiarize readers with each issue's format.

1. Research

2. Content Page
These two images that are shown on this page have come from a music
magazine from the company Vibe. This company has been very successful in
the past with their magazine, so hopefully I will get many ideas and
develop my magazine contents page into a very successful one. I also decide
to analyse this company magazine because the genre that I have chosen is
Hip – hop and I believe that this magazine is a hip – hop magazine which
should make it easier for me to create my magazine content page.

3. In these two images that I have cropped we can see a V in the
background. I believe that this V will keep reminding the
audience of the name of the magazine. In addition I also believe
that this V gets into the audiences head and makes them
remember the magazine easier. In conclusion I also gathered up
that the V is link, connection to the front cover of the
magazine, the V is also in background which could mean that
this isn’t the first issue of this magazine, which again means
that the audience is very familiar with this magazine and what
is provided in it.
From these images you can also see the layout is the same in every content page for this magazine company
which makes it easier for the company to put together.

4. This print screen is of the main image which is on this content page. On one content page we get a photo of half
the artists and the other photo we get the artist full body. The artists that are shown are Ciara and Kanye
West. The image of Kanye West is in black and white and then we have a heart which is shown in red and a
hand over the heart. I believe that the heart is in red because it symbols love. I think that the rest of the image
is displayed in black and white because it might show depression about the artist, I think this because of his
facial expression which clearly shows that he is not happy but sad, depressed and heartbroken which also makes
a link to the red heart in the image, or it could consider the theme of the album.
On the other hand we have colour in the second image which all bind will together, the colours that are used are
grey, black and white, I thought that these colours mixed well because the back ground colours are the same
colours that the artist is wearing which was smart idea. I believe that the way the artist is being presented is
very sexy , I think that The spot light the brightens a particular part of her body which is her legs, I believe
highlighting her legs draws more attention towards them so the audience gets to admire them.

5. As you can see on both images I have cropped the features
and fashion text. I believe that the way they have laid
out all the text on one side was a good idea so that
readers will not have trouble searching the page to find
everything. How ever on both content page magazines the
text is too small and I believe that the readers will have a
hard time reading what’s on what page. I believe that on
both content page magazine that the text of the font will
also make the readers not have a clear understanding. You
can clearly see that the layout is the same for both content
pages with the same font and size. In addition you can
also see that they have highlighted the most important
things but making the text bigger they have done this for
both images.

6. These two images show the full
page of the content page. You
can work out from looking at
them that this magazine
company uses the same layout
for each issue that has been
released. You can notice this by
looking at the main images
which are placed either on the
left hand side or in the middle,
the features and fashion on the
right hand side, the word
contents which is going down
the page With letters on the
right hand side and placed on
top of the V. I believe that they
keep the same layout so that
their readers become familiar
with the layout and because
this is the link between each
magazine that they have
published.
