Front cover Analysis (Usher)

In the Main image we see the world famous RNB vocalist usher , the image is at a low angle witch depicts the idea of superiority and power . ushers pose is very eye catching , it appears that he is portraying an awful hand gesture .However it is his ring finger , with is dressed in a diamond incrusted  wedding ring . also looking at his attire  he is dressed in casual and neutral colours this conotes an image of class and simplicity adding to idea of simplicity he is wearing jus a watch and sunglasses . in addition to the sunglasses , they connote the idea of mysteriousness and again the superior nature of the image. Furthermore , ushers posture and his body language connects to the superior feeling , his head is tilted and he seems to be lent back , looking kool and collected . however the tilt of his head depicts arrogance and supercilious nature. 

Lastly the positioning of usher , he is places infront of the mast head showing that he is possibly more important and interesting , the mast head loosing its importance and the focus is all on usher .

Looking at the Mast head we see the word 'VIBE' in bold bright blue font this relates to the actual genre RNB (rythme and blues) blue is a colour that is usually linked with calm and cool feelings , however it is bright and eye catching drawing the reader to the magazine . Also blue is a unisex colour witch appeals to both male and female readers.

The Background image is vaguely seen , but it seems to be a cream/off white coloured wall , it just enhances the focus on usher and drawing the reader to the magazine.

 The Main cover line  reads 'USHER The king is back HES NO1 and married with a vengeance'  the words 'Usher ... Hes NO1' this is to attract readers to buy the magazine. also the 'Married with a vengeance' could link to the wedding ring in the main image.

observing the Additional cover lines the word 'SWAGGER' is written diagonally across lower left hand side of the front cover , the font used is in a graffiti style wich relates to the RNB street culture and the colour red could signify the idea of power and dominance as it stands out and contrast with the colour scheme on the front page.
