The target audience for this magazine would be teenagers, this is because people which are middle-aged would not really be listening to Chris Brown who is the artist which is on the front cover.Teenagers would not sit down and listen to classical music, because the artist for music like R 'n' B are mainly teenagers from 16 to the age of 22 years old (roughly). I know this because of the choices of articles which are in chosen in the magazine. There is a news article about drugs, Which can be there for teenagers because a lot of teenagers now are easily influenced and do things just because others are doing it. Also there is one strapline which is saying " I'm still a virgin....In your EYES' this can also be for teenagers because a lot of teenage girls now a days are getting pregnant at the ages of 16, this is all over the news. When it is saying in your eyes in my view I think it is saying that he is a good role model, but at heart he isn't. On the front cover it asks us a rhetorical question to make us think, the rhetorical question is 'IS THAT CHRIS BROWN?'. This makes us wonder actually do we know the real chris brown or is he a fake also that all the things we know about him are they just there for the publicity. The target audience who actually listen to this artist Chris Brown and know everything about him which the press say about they could be hooked into this rhetorical question thinking that they want to know more about him, they would also wonder if this would be revealed in the 'Vibe' magazine.
The main image on the front cover is a solo artist whom name is Chris Brown. This image relates to the magazine. This is because the genre of the magazine is R 'n' B and Pop music, and Chris Brown sings that genre. So he is relevant for him to be on the front cover of the magazine. The facial expression on his face, looks like he has an attitude on him. Not particularly an annoyed face but an can't be bothered face. His body language is showing me that he does not really care and i can tell this by the slouching in his posture. His facial expression and his body language (and posture), matches the magazine and the genre. This is because songs with the genre of R 'n' B and pop most of the time have attitude in the lyrics and the video. And his facial expression and body language says this. The type of clothing he is wearing also matches the genre because again this is the kind of clothing which is worn in these types of music videos. This could relate to the target audience because the teenagers now are easily influenced and could think that it is a good thing to act like the famous people who are on magazines such as magazines such as Chris Brown, in some peoples eyes he could be a good role model so they would copy or act like the way he does, or could copy the way his dresses because they would think that it a nice way to look, and they would think if Chris Brown wears it then it will be a good way to dress and they would think also that he has a good style. The colours used in this are mainly dark colours such as red and black. Chris Brown is wearing the colour red, this is matching the colour theme of the actual front cover. When I see this I automatically assume danger and anger, because when I see the colour red it always reminds me of the danger or sometimes love. In this case it is danger, this again links to his facial expression which is showing anger or actually attitude. I get this because when people get angry their face shows a red colour, so this is what i get from the colour scheme.
The typeface (font) used for the masthead has been purposely covered by the main image this could be because that this chosen magazine is a very popular and well known music magazine. Chris Brown is giving the magazine a higher status because he is covering the majority of the masthead. This then shows him as being as equal to or even more important than the title of the magazine. Also the word 'Vibe' is a simple word so it won't be that hard to figure out. The use of the green font empahsises the main features of the magazine and this will attract the readers. It has real life elements that are implied on the front cover and are emphasised by the fonts used. The contents sustains the readers interests, through the rhetorical questions.

| A music magazine called 'Vibe' |
The title of the magazine is called 'Vibe' . The reason for the name Vibe is that it is implying that the music gives out a good feeling , it definitely suggests a positive view on music. This magazine is showing elements of sex,drugs and rock 'n' roll, the topics in this magazine are all based on this. This will be mainly for the audience of teenagers,because teenagers now a days are easily influenced by the music which they listen to. I can get this from the language used in the straplines and also from the title, you can't image people older than 22 years old using the word vibe. And plus the stories which they are telling us are going to be in the magazine are all there for teenagers, this information in the straplines and the stories involve teenagers.The connotations which the title has is that music is an enjoying thing and that it has a good rhythm to it, I also got from the title that the magazine through out has a good 'Vibe' to it. And also that the magazine will be enjoyable to read as well, with there being real life situations in there.
