Vibe Contents Page

This contents page is taken from the RnB magazine 'Vibe'. Women are a main feature of the RnB genre so having a woman on the front immediately fits the criteria. There is only one image shown so we know she is the main focus. The magazine is appealing to a younger audience, we know this because there is minimal text and large images. However they could also be aiming at an adult audience as the woman pictured is in minimal clothes and in a suggestive pose. This would appeal to male audiences, but would also make female readers aspire to look like the model. This particular magazine focuses on appearance, fitting with the genre RnB. The theme of appearance is also carried over into the context page text with a whole feature on fashion.Also the colour scheme creates a modern look to the page appealing to a wide audience who are interested in the newest things. The magazine appears relaxed and different fonts in a range of sizes, arranged in different ways reflect the laid back characteristics placed on the genre. They  have used Ciara, a popular artist from the genre, to attract her fans as well as the usual reader who would be interested in this artist. Overall the magazine appeals to its target audience and represent the genre through images, layout and text.
