The magazine has chosen to use a very well known artist, Kayne West. Passers by will recognise the artist and be intrigued as to what the article will be about as he was very big at the time of the publishing.
There is a suggestion of what the article could be about, by the arm over Kayne's shoulder holding the heart on his, it gives the impression that the article will be about Kayne's love life and what he generally loves in life, somethings that are personal to him. The red heart, is the only bit of colour on the page, so it instantly stands out.
The page, being in grey scale suggests there are a lot of things Kayne has hidden in the dark from the public. The background of the page is lighter than that of the foreground so makes the artist stand out, which would be the aim of the magazine. The 'V' in the background represents the title of the magazine, it's purpose would be to show what magazine it is, and add their own little touch onto each page, like a personal trademark.
The layout of the magazine, much like the Blender magazine, it has the image on the left and text on the right. The subheadings are in a slightly bigger, more fancy fonting to make clear that it is a different section, which highlight what is to be expected to be seen in the magazine.
The convention of including credits, magazine name, page number and issue is followed by this magazine on the bottom right of the page.
From this magazine I will use inspiration from the letter in the background, I think this adds a distinct identity to the magazine, and I think it adds a bit of familiarity.
