Analysing music magazines

This is a music magazine. From looking at the front cover you can tell that they are to be talking about the artist Miguel. This is because he is the central image and he is dominating that page. Also the issues are going to be about Miguel's opinion on sex, drugs and RnB. Furthermore, its going to be about Vibe's opinion on the 50 greatest album. Kendrick Lamar is also going to be a topic inside. At the top the headline is a skyliner which would be a debate inside the magazine.

In my opinion the target audience for this magazine is going to be mainly people who love music. These can young or older people. Moreover girls will be hugely attractive to this because of the attention the artist Miguel gets. In addition, other music artist will be an audience because they could maybe be paying closer attention to competition or looking who they might want to collaborate with. All of their interest will be looking at the last fashion trends and Miguel. Other things they might want to read about is politics and movies. 

Looking at the central image, you can Miguel is a outgoing figure because of his stance. Also you can might argue we might get a insight about him but not a lot because he is wearing shades. This covers his eyes and he stating that he is cool and slick. His fingers are also gestured to a rock and roll stance. He is also wearing a lot of jewellery and accessories which suggest he is very wealthy as he can afford all of it. Lastly he is wearing a blazer to maybe project he likes to dress smart but whilst coming across smooth. That is his vibe.

The title of the magazine is all in block letters and in red. You can also tell from the word "Vibe that this is going to be an energetic magazine. Furthermore, it is going to be about artist's personality's and how they are facing the camera and without. Vibe to most people is a cool word so people who like the name will be most likely to purchase this.
