The document summarizes key design elements of a magazine cover for Vibe magazine. The masthead is prominently displayed in white on black to clearly identify the magazine brand. The actor on the cover, Drake, is pictured in a mid-close up looking directly at the audience to create engagement. Drake is wearing clothing styles like a chain and fitted cap that align with hip hop culture. Cover lines stand out in all capital letters with highlighted words to draw attention. The color scheme of yellow, black, and white is intended to convey a "buzzing" atmosphere for the magazine and danger to appeal to rebellious readers.
