This is my final presentation on my research for VIBE magazine. VIBE magazine mainly focuses its attention to those who listen ti RnB, Hip Hop and Rap music. The audience for VIBE is between the age of 18-34 and maily bases its magazine online.

VIBE is well known worldwide and features great information such as celebrity gossip, upcoming artist and also drifts away frm the topic of music and focuses on record label clothing. VIBE's website doesnt only focus on music it also has video links 2 artist and their lifestyles also exclusive interviews with world known artist such as Lil Wayne, Lloyd Banks, Chris Brown and many more. VIBES's website also advertises new movies such as 'Takers' which stars artist such as T.I and Chris Brown.

When i researched to find out facts about VIBE i mainly used their website for information because most of the facts and statistics where provided and also it was accurate and reliable. Some of the other information i found out was on websites such as Wikipedia.

VIBE magazine grabs the attention of the reader by using Big artists on their main cover such as T.I, Beyonce and Eminem. It also grabs the attention of the audiences by the colour code they use of black, red and white. This shows that one theme is used throughout the magazine. Also it show exclusive pictures which grabs the attention of the audiences.
