The first thing that strikes me about this aricle is the huge picture of Solange Knowles which takes up half of the second page. The image stands out as all the other images are smaller and are in black and white whereas this picture is bright bold and larger than the others. The background is plain white so this image stands out even more.
The images portray her as a happy lively person as she is dancing and posing in them all. By using these pictures of Solange, the reader will feel the same positive attitude as displayed in the images when reading this article .
This article is descriptive text. Most articles like this either feature this style of text or an interview method.
The opening headline for this article, 'Forget Her Sister', instantly captures the readers attention as many people are aware of how famous her sister Beyonce Knowles is, so the link between fame and relatives is created and the reader automatically assumes by reading this headline that Solange is going to be bigger/more famous than her older sister.
VIBE magazine has chose to include phrases/quotations which Solange Knowles has said, these phrases/quotations are bold to stand out to the reader.
The simple grey and black coloured text is easy to read on top of the white background. The magazine has probably chose to use this colour as there is a lot of information given and if a brighter colour was used it would be hard to read. The black, grey and white also matches the black and white images allowing the single coloured image and the small amount of coloured text to stand out.
