This front cover has a blue bold magazine name (VIBE) this is so constant readers will recognise the name of the magazine. The celebrity on the cover is in front of the magazine name. This puts the focus on the celebrity. Not only does it put the focus on him it attracts his fans to read the magazine which is good advertisement it also tells people that the magazine will have pages on the celebrity. On the right of the cover they have blue and black coloured text the black is only for celebrity's names to highlight the act that there are going to be extracts in the magazine about them. At the very top of the cover there is a title saying ''The making of notorious 10 B.I.G secrets the film wont tell'' this gives the reader an in site as to what they can find about not just music but a film inside this magazine. On the left of the cover there is a Small quote that says ''kanye west + his 50 greatest songs'' this shows the reader that not only can they read about kanye they can find out his top 50 songs he likes.

This magazine front cover has a big bold white Magazine name (VIBE) to show people the name of the magazine so people will recognise the name. The celebrity ''Chris Brown'' who is also the person on the front is in front of the magazine name. This is because people will recognise the celebrity and be attracted it also attracts extra readers because Chris Browns fans might want to know what has been written about him. On the right of the cover there is white and green text that says ''ushers exes'' and more all the names of the music artist's are in a green text and the other in white. The text is basically set out as a start of a contents it gives people a sneak as to what stories are inside the magazine. on the left they use a quote out of the magazine that says ''I'm still a virgin... in your eyes'' this gives a reader a quote out of the magazine but leaves no hint as to who they are talking about. This makes the reader want to know who they are talking about and to find out more of the story. Also the word ''virgin'' is the colour red this is also to emphasise on the quote. At the top left of the cover there is a kicker with the quote about the mega music issue this is a little advertisement for the reader to buy a different magazine.

This magazines front cover has a title with a white hilight behind so it makes it clearer for the reader to see and also to catch the readers eye easier. Also the Title ''King of Leon break through'' links to the back ground because the kings of Leon band are breaking through glass. The band are also infront of the magazines logo putting the focus on them and people will recognise the band better than a magazines logo, also this attracts the bands fan's. There are two sub headings with a white hilight so it is easier to read one says ''The 50 BEST Albums of 2008'' this is a quote to show the reader what they can expect to find in the magazine. On the bottom left of the covver there is a small read out from one of the magazines pages and is stopped half way through a sentance and it gives no detail to who the band that have ''BROKEN UP'' are. This also attracts people that read this short read out because one, they want to know who the band band that has split up are and two, why it happend.
