VIBE Music Magazine Front Cover No.2

The main image on this music magazine front cover is a very sexual pose of Ciara. The way her lips are slightly parted, shows that she is seducing the male reader. The fact that, her head is facing the audience, but she is looking from a side, shows her figure, which is the main aim. Her tight fitted, short length outfit, shows her fabulous figure, which relates back to, the header. The colour of her dress, pose and gesture that she is intending, creates impact of what R&B music is all about. Ciara’s chunky bracelet, gives that R&B image, of being laid back and sophisticated.

The question ‘Don’t you wish your girlfriend was Hot Like Me?’  And the mode of address ’New music’, ‘NEW BODY’, ‘No Bow Wow’ gives automatically tells the audience, the article is about Ciara’s new figure.  Furthermore, the words ‘NEW BODY’ is written in capitals, to show what the main attraction is about Ciara. In addition, it is clever the way the word’s ‘Ciara’ and ‘Hot like me?’ are  deliberately in yellow and bold compared to the rest of the writing which is smaller text, and light blue against a dark blue background, which is aiming to directly sexually seduce the male target audience. Also, it is going to grab the reader’s attention straight away, with big bold text. The header ‘VIBE’ is again in yellow and in bigger and bolder font, to match the rest of the writing.

The starburst on the right hand side is eye catching. ’31 WAYS TO BALL IN MIAMI’, can be interpreted as different ways to do ballroom dancing perhaps.  The size of the text around the image is of different fonts and has kept to the two main colours of yellow and blue. Again as previously seen in other Vibe music magazine front covers, Ciara’s head is covering the letter ‘B’ of the word ‘VIBE’ which again shows the powering, dominant, and careless attitude of R&B artists.
