- wearing pilot/engineer clothes
-ray ban aviators, rolex, dog tags.
- reference to the film top gun
-masculine look
-high key lighting emphasises star quality
-colour scheme is black/yellow/khaki/(black)
- expensive accessories connote r&b even though hes not conventionally dressed.

-Masthead: Vibe; convention to place star in front of the masthead. this tells us that vibe is a well established magazine and that usher has dominance and is important.
-Main cover line; we can tell because it anchors the picture and it is the biggest out of the other cover lines.

-Plus sign (+) is a puff to say there is more

- theres a QR code and barcode.

-lower case "u" in usher to reinforce his brand where as the "s" and "b" are capitalized for soulja boy.
