Language: The layout of this double page spread has a main feature, which is the image of Florence Welsh, it takes up a full page (long shot), and has used the bold colour red to contrast/ stand out from the light back ground. The image makes the page look full and prevents the page from looking too congested with excess text. This large main image has been used to attract the readers attention, drawing them into reading the rest of the article. The use of the dark shade of grey attracts the public towards the letters 'USA', which gives a key word about what the article is about. The heading 'got the love' is important as it is one of Florence's well known songs, which will immediately attract the audience, it is catchy and is in a stylish font, which adds glamour to the double page spread. The model is looking straight into the lens, which could suggest that the article is very direct and straight to the point.Institution:Vibe magazine is a music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones. Vibe magazine features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers. After shutting down production in Summer 2009, Vibe was purchased by the private equity investment fund Inter Media Partner.This magazine is now issued every-other month with double covers, with a larger on line presence.
Ideology: The use of red, light background and the highlighted words in blue, 'Florence Welsh' link to the article, as it is all about Florence Welsh with her American fans 'America at her feet'.
Audience: The audience is relevant to both male and female readers, however, the genre is aimed at R&B and hip hop, attracting young, urban fans of hip hop and R&B culture
Representation: The colours used in the double paged spread represent America as they have used the colours in the American flag. (Red stripes on the block Florence is sat on, light/white background and blue highlighted words; Florence Welsh)
