My music magazine is my own invention created to follow the conventions and develop or challenge forms of the R&B music magazine VIBE.  My music magazine does follow the conventions of VIBE, through the Banner P.I.M.P, which gives a more feminist representation of the R&B culture, where VIBE gives a more masculine approach. The Banner VIBE is shown normally in white or black fonts with male artists, and red fonts with female artists. My front cover has obeyed with the same tradition by changing the font colour to pink in upper case and bold to obviously state that my music magazine is for a female target audience I had taken inspiration from the VIBE music magazine fonts and catchy mastheads. 

My masthead had represented black female artists as they are in today’s society as very seductive, persuasive and almost business type. For example, the edition of VIBE with the picture of the R&B artist Ciara, gives a true and perfect vision of how R&B women are used as sex objects, and have a way of making themselves look innocent to the audience but yet demanding. The first half of the masthead encouraged me to design a music magazine on an R&B female artist’s body and the new transformation of it. I have also used this masthead to create a similar message to my target audience.
