Vibe the magazine Research

The Vibe magazine first started in 1993 and was founded by Quincy Jones. It had originally been called Volume by co-founder, Scott poulson-Bryant. The magazine was based in New york city in America. The magazine formally was pre-dominatly revolved around certain music genres such as: R&B, Hip hop, Rap etc. The magazine also features actors and the latest gossip of what's happening in the celebrities' lives. Back then, hip hop was always number one on the charts. The magazine mainly was revolved around certain artists such as: Janet Jackson, Tupac, Busta Rhymes and many other artists. Quincy Jones teamed up with Times Inc and was owned by both of them for only three years until it was sold to Miller publishing and then sold again to the Spin magazine. The spin magazine then successfully owned The vibe for several years. The magazine was said to attract "Ebony or Jet readers". By this term, this meant black people due to generalisation of blacks who enjoy hip hop music. Later on, The Vibe became a media surrounded thing. The reputation of the magazine lead to whatever status/league the celebrity/artist may have be classified in. For instance, someone like Michael Jackson was really popular and he's presence on the magazine may have gain more publicity for him and the Vibe. In 2013, The vibe still continues to be a successful magazine, although it was more popular in the early 90's. Their publicty has expanded through media. Usually it only featured people of black race, now it features all types of popular artists, even ones who are not in the R&B/hip hop/rap genre e.g. Kesha, Justin Bieber etc. Recently, female singer Kesha made history with her appearance on the cover of Vibe. The is the first solo white singer to be featured on Vibe. She proved to millions that her music isn't just "guilty pop". Kesha is striving to become a well-known successful singer. The Vibe is also gaining publicity over the drastic change in comparison to the past last years.

Analysing Levi advert.

Representation/ Denotation/ Connotation
pic 1) The representation of the pictures shows that not only adult work is important, kids' work is also important but the way the advert has been made it makes it look amusing because kids don't usally do up their parents tie. This is another way of representing their company in a way that would be aimed for everyone. The people did not have direct adress in the photo in order to show what they are doing (getting dressed) therefore you cannot have direct adress while dressing up. The logo was shown in a visible font size and easy to find and bold enought to read to produce their company.

pic2) The picture indicates everyone's job is important so they put three people to stand in front of a distictive house which supports the slogan and also to promote their company by putting emphasis on the slogan. The people look like teens or around mid 20's so this can show what the slogan has said. In this photo they did have direct adress because they were just standing their and not doing anything. The brand in both pictures was called levi's and the trademark represented in both pictures in the same ways. The mise en scene design was simple and plain it was a representative of the brand.

Target Audience
Thpic 1) This first picture is aimed at everyone because it shows both child and adult so this would be suggesting it's for everybody.

Pic2) Mostly aimed for teens or above but can also be aimed at for all ages in order to promote their company.
