This double page spread from Vibe looks very professional and is more advanced to the basic conventions of a double page spread in a music magazine. It has a large photo of the artist, but also consists of of several small photos; which appear to be sexy dancing images of the artist and portray a positive image of her and the article. The main image is in colour, whereas everything else is black and white, with a hint of light blue. This allows the reader to emphasis on the photo first and then read the text behind the image. This is stereotypical for vibe magazine as R&B is obsessed with body image and appearance. The colour scheme is also basic which entices a male and female audience. The artist's posture appears self-assured and striking which again is never the less always the case in an R&B genre magazine; as women are generally embodied as being feisty. The use of the light blue is evidently to highlight the significant factors such as the artist's name. The double page spread contains quite a bit of text, which is rare for this genre, but perhaps because of the artist there is more to address.
