Vibe Front Cover

The image on this magazine is covered partly by ‘Nicki Minaj’s’ head, this highlights the fact that this magazine is already established and well know so doesn’t need to be fully out there to be known as it already has that factor and its fan base. The image is taking up the centre of the page and with the obvious editing on photo shop so it looks striking with the perfect skin and shimmering in her clothes especially with all the matching colours of pink, blue, white and black. The page is made up of those 4 colours and since they are only used frequently and for the right things it works well and definitely stands out the most from all the magazines I have looked at. From this image of Nicki Minaj you can tell that she doesn’t care about what people think about her especially with what she is wearing, her hands on her hips back up this point and her open mouth as it seems she thinks she can do what she wants when she wants and does not care what people have to say. She is pictured in front of a cloud of flowers, this illustrates that she just wants to have fun and we can tell this by what she is having its almost like she doesn’t want to grow up. The colouring of the background is aesthetically pleasing even though there is a lot of white it still looks very out there. The ‘Vibe’ title is taking up the top section of the page and wrote in big capital bold font, with the white matching everything else on the page e.g. the dress and cloud. Stories are positioned on either side of the page ‘Nicki Minaj’ is in the same size font as the rest which is different to the rest of the front covers I have looked at as usually they are the main focus of the front cover since they are pictured on it. The pink and white combination which matches the boots she is wearing is used for the stories nothing stands out on this page apart from the black writing which is used for ‘Michael Jackson’ And ‘World cup’ mania, even though they don’t stand I still think it looks extremely effective since it is so matching. The barcode is placed on the left hand side vertically on the front cover along with the website above it, this is again in matching colours so works well with the rest of the page.
