This is a hip-hip and r’n'b music magazine, but as well as that it also contains minor information on actors and other entertainers. From the front cover we can see that there will be a lot of information on the latest music artists and the latest music gossip, as well a huge story on Keyshia Cole. They will also include other information on the latest movies and actors. The target audience for this magazine is young adults as it does contain very raunchy images but still contains all the latest information on music artists..
The age range of this magazine is between 18-25 years old as they are more likely to be purchasing a music magazine of this kind. As this a magazine aimed at young adults that means it will include all the information on the latest music and movies, as well as up and close interviews with several different artists. The magazine is using an indirect mode of address as she is not looking at the camera. She is looking to the corner. This is effective because it shows that she is mature and trying to get the audience to be intrigued by her. This is an indirect mode of address so therefore she is not really interacting with the audience which shows she is showing more of an unfriendly relationship with the audience.
Keyshia Cole is on the front cover of the magazine as she is a very successful r’n’b artist who is very beautiful and she catches the eye of the audience especially men. This would make more people buy the magazine as she is very famous in America. With her wearing nothing shows she will definitely be admired by men as she seen to be sexy. The anchorage text says Keyshia Cole “America Beauty” which shows the audience that she is very popular and she is an acknowledged beauty, this makes her very admirable and gains attention for the audience. This implies that Keyshia is considered to be a beautiful woman. This is a very powerful statement which has been put upon her and she is a widely popular artist in America. She is now shown to be a daring person. The artists is giving positive messages she is standing there naked while covering her breasts which shows her true beauty and sending a message to women, to love their own bodies as well as embracing it. R’n’B music is being represented for this magazine as this categorizes what kind of magazine this. The magazine represents Keyshia Cole in way to show how beautiful American woman and she are considered to be one of them. There are no buzz words on this cover which shows that the magazine has all the information needed to interest the audience. The title block shows that the magazine is going to include some very intriguing stories which will interest the audience in a way to make them consider this to be their regular magazine.The title is very cool as it is a strong title and will allow the reader to feel more interested reader about the magazine and what it contains. Their image is very consistent as they are shown to be a very simple and sexy magazine. They have a very particular style as the magazine has very edgy and controversial. The offs show that there will be a lot of stories on many actors and musician, including the best American rappers, stories on Bow Wow, Lil Boosie, Nelly and Omarion. There will also be a story on actor Cuba Gooding Jr. This tells me that the magazine are more like to get an older audience than the NME magazine because it has more of a mature content even with the revealing picture of Keyshia Cole on the front page. Therefore they are expected to get an audience of 18-25 or even 30 years old. There is no slogan for the magazine. This is not a very popular magazine but it is very popular in America so there is slogan necessary. The magazine has used particular colours which are red, blue and a white background. As this is an American magazine and a special American issue they have decided to cleverly use the American colours on their flag. The colours resemble their strong love for their country and our embracing this for the world to see. The colours are very bright and light up the page which is important for a magazine. It makes the page look nice and appealing. With the colours gaining attention will make the readers more attentive towards the magazine. The way in which the colours fit so well and there is no colour clash shows that they have thought about their colour decision carefully. The fonts used is more like a Arial font as this is very simple yet it stands out in a way to show the reader about the information they have in their magazine. The magazine has carefully thought out their strategies in a way to make it not look to controversial but yet daring. They have used a familiar American artist, Keyshia Cole with her naked and covering her breasts makes it seem daring an intriguing to the audience as they may want to know more about her. They have used those special colours which is a very smart way to get attention for the American target audience. They have used some interesting story lines such as the story about Cuba Gooding Jr. which will attract the audience to know more about what they have to say in their magazine.
