Niki Minaj, is another inspiring artist to many teenagers and older young adults. The main audience who are attracted to her music is the same age range as my selected target audience. Niki is very unique in her choice of style, she wears big clothing with crazy patterns and bright colours matching with her hair. She however performs more rap rather than pop music, but she occasionally releases a pop song. This magazine, was chosen because i find that Vibe magazine have artists consisting of my chosen genre. Also Vibe is a magazine with a reputation and is very popular. They normally feature pop artists such as Beyonce, Niki Minaj and Iggy Azalea. I analysed this specific magazine because i thought the colour scheme of the magazine was very effective. This was because it makes it stand out against all the other magazines on the shelves within the shops. Also the codes and conventions of a magazine are evident here, the colour scheme matches the house style and ethos of the magazine, the cover lines fill space and make the magazine look interesting. The artist is typically the main focus of the front page and the masthead is bold and behind the artist, to indicate to the readers what company has distributed the magazine and this gets their brand more recognised. This magazine can inspire me later on when creating my own magazine, because the structure would be influenced and inherited into my own work, and seeing this magazine, will help me ensure i choose a good colour scheme to make my magazine attractive and ensure it matches the house style and ethos of my magazine.
