Here are two examples of music magazine content page from different genres:

The magazine content page I will be evaluating is “Vibe” the two artists’ situated on the page are two female rappers this is done because the magazine genre is usually Hip-hop and Rap music. The artists take up the majority of the page suggesting they would be a main story in the magazine. They are both posed showing off their famine physique by wearing short dresses showing off their legs. The clothing that the artists are wearing emphasises the genre of music they are representing as certain genres dress according to their genre style i.e. classical music is usually associated with suites and dresses (formal dressing). This image makes females look strong and powerful, this image subverts female stereotype, showing that rap music shows woman in a different view.  


The text in the content page is small and headings are highlighted boldly to show the topic of each page, this is done in order to make the image of the female artists stand out, the title of the page is positioned using informal juxtaposition suggesting the target age the magazine is aimed at. The pale washed out white background helps the image and text to stand out. The text situated on the page is positioned fitting the artist body shape empathising the focus of the image making seem as though the image was on the page first and the rest has to fit around making the image the center attraction. This page is simple because it’s not really used as a promotional method in order to get audience to buy the magazine therefore is not in need of much attention.
