Front cover analysis, Vibe - Kesha

 

 



The mid shot shows off Kesha's womanly physique, which appeals to the female audience as inspiration and also appeals to the male reader. The artist is looking into the camera with a sort of shocked expression and covering up with her hands where she wouldn't want to be revealed, this signifies how 'Vibe' will reveal what she likes to keep hidden, as if it is a personal secret. Something the singer's fans will want to know and continue reading about.

The styling of Kesha's dress contracts with the pure white backgrounding and her pale complexion makes the shoot seem natural as if it wasn't so staged. The colour scheme prodominantly shows black and white possibly providing the readers with an idea that Kesha's views are black and white, or you either like her or you don't, very basic.

The most important words to this particular issue are in red to make obvious what the issur is about and it's ther main words that would attract an audience, like; the artists name, the title of the magazine and 'exclusive'. Sometimes even stories of interest are in red. The font all remains the same throughout the front cover, no flicks or curls - it's all just basic and clear.

There is only one image on the cover, no previews of others stories inside, because Kesha is the main focus, her image covers the majority of the page and is certainly a focal point.

I will use a basic background and fonting just like this one in my own magazine to make one focus instead of the readers eyes having too much to focus on.
