On this contents page Kanye West is dressed smart with a blazer and a shirt, which shows that the magazine is aiming at a ABC1 demographic, which are people who have a lot of money and like high end clothing. Kanye West has a hand coming over his shoulder, which looks like a females hand grabbing a heart. This projects the idea that the fashion he is wearing will make girls want your heart. The V behind the subject is short for vibe, which is in a sans serif font, and is promoting the brand of the magazine. The photo is a mid shot in high-key lighting which gives off an optimistick vibe. The Vibe magazine has 2 main headlines "features" and "fashion" which is using an alliteration to keep it simple and memorable. The colour scheme is black, white and grey, which keeps it simple for the reader and also gives it a vintage feel. Barthes theory fits in with this contents page, as the heart that the woman is holding denotes a sense of unity between the two, and connotes that the fashion and status that he has is why he has this interest.
