Magazine Inspiration.



The magazine 'VIBE' is a magazine based on R&B genre like i want mine to be; the poses will be my mine inspiration along with the layout when i will be designing my music magazine. 'VINE' is a magazine which publishes things such as the following:
  • Artists/ bands
  • Gigs
  • Photo shoots
  • Latest gossip in celeb world
  • Advertisement within top brands
  • Latest news in charts and the music industry
On this blog post I evaluate each different images of the front covers of VIBE magazine above...

Image 1: I really like the use of the fading title in into the fierce picture of Ciara  as it guides the viewers eyes down. The background also ties in with the fading effect having an overall theme to the front cover with the colour palettes. As the model is wearing black shoes and black hair the fading colour begins from a black.. I also like how the model is placed over all the text even the title showing that she is a big hit and it is a big deal that she is featured.

Image 2: Again, like Image 1, the model is wearing nothing an it is down to the strength of the pose in which attracts the attention of the viewer, both poses are facing forwards and having eye contact. However in all the magazines with women on the front they are seen upon to be objects of sexual desire in this particular genre. Again the model image is on top of the title and cover lines showing her importance. For my magazine i will use the pose for the model to be looking straight at the camera.

Image 3: Compared to the last two magazine front covers this one has a male artist on but in my eyes doesn't seem so strong so as a result i will use a female model on my design. The pose 'TI' (the model) is doing however i like as it is strong but not a fierce moody pose including some laughter into the image. 


Image 4: In this image I like how the model is leaning forward into the camera pointing upwards but almost looking down onto the viewer with the vunerable look but also sexy, another photo of a female posed as an object of desire. With the sexy pose comes along a red colouring theme which also is are presentation piecing it all together, the short cover lines are
 also red. 

Image 5: The model on this particular front cover is standing pointing at the viewer giving a more personal approach on the audience catching their eye, this adds more involvement into photograph. During my photography i will have to consider more personal poses toward the audience other than eye contact.

Image 6: The three main colour palettes contain, red, black and white contrasting the colours for the background again fading like in image 1.  The model is wearing red top as well overall involving all the colours together; clearly a lot of thought went into the designing of the magazine.  When taking pictures i will also consider the clothing colour and choice of styling.
