Language-The Good thing about Vibe magazine from my perspective is how they know there audience. They speak in a hip hop, pop culture so it relates to people who are interested, they also have a high level of English for those who don’t.

Photography- Vibe magazine is popular mainly because of there repetition of there front cover image. They use a variety of angles like the image with game close, they select popular artist and place them in the font in order to grab attention, they also use a lot of sex to sell the magazine and build its intrest.
