Task 2 - Case study: Vibe


Also, on the front page, a skyline is used. The skyline is "purple suits, white kicks, and a $30k dress". This skyline relates to Nicki Minaj, attracting the audience's attention. The skyline is used to show the main topic of the front cover. Nicki Minaj is wearing a dress that looks expensive, which shows the skyline is aimed at Nicki Minaj on purpose. Furthermore, Nicki Minaj is placed in front of the masthead, showing how successful Nicki Minaj is and that VIBE is already a successful brand. A bar code is also used on the front page with the price on it in small text.

On the double page spread, the connation of the word "gospel" shows that Nicki Minaj is respecting herself. There is contradiction as she is speaking about how wild she is. However, she says she is going to "tone down on the sexual stuff" showing that she is changing. The word 'gospel' is used to show that Nicki Minaj is going to start behaving appropriately and that she is changing.
