My master head follows the typical conventions of magazine formats, it’s been placed at the top of the page in a central position, with big bold red writing in which has had a shadowing effect added to it in order to make it stand out, and catch the audiences’ eye.

My main image is central

and stands out, connoting

to the audience that this is

the main focus point of the

magazine. I have

deliberately chosen for the

model to make direct eye

contact with the

camera, giving more of a

direct and personal link

between the reader and the

magazine.

The costume in which Amelia is wearing helps to show two

sides to “Amelia” – Her white top gives the reader the idea

that Amelia has an innocent pure side to her, whereas the

crochet design of the top gives it a more interesting stylish

touch. I have chosen to dress the model in black wet look

leggings to give a more of an edge to her style, giving her a

more modern look, and the figure hugging leggings help to

appeal to the idea of “male gaze.” Appealing to both males

and females. The black strappy heels helps to present a

more seductive feminine side to the model, making her

stance appear more forward and taller which makes her

appear more in control.

The background is mainly white, which

helps to make the image stand out

more, I have used the use of natural

lighting to show the idea that she is what

she is naturally without the use of lights

to show better complexions, this will

target a particular audience as it shows

naturalism, and the pure beauty of the

artist, this challenges the typical

conventions where they are normally

airbrushed and spotlighted.

I have used minimal props, to

draw the main attention into the

artist herself, she is casually

lent against a door to give her a

sort of “girl next door”

image, which is something that

the audience can relate to, the

setting is clearly set at a house

which again is a place we can

all relate to and feel

comfortable. I have chosen to

have the model lent against the

door to represent a relaxed

look.

The people I have chosen to feature in my magazine, are current mainstream artists such

as Ed Sheeran, Cold Play, Katy Perry , and Drake…This should attract a mass market of

people, as I have played it safe by using conventional artists for my magazine, this

should appeal to both the male and female market, targeting the age range of around 15-

24 as it is based on more modern, mainstream music.

Within my magazine I used quite an informal chatty language to form a friendly

relationship between the reader and the magazine, and tried to draw the audience in

through the use of buzz words,( i.e. win) which appeared in many of the front pages of magazines in which I initially analysed, and my use of exclamation marks helps to create

an element of excitement within the magazine.

My magazine is mainly based on mainstream artists in whom are current, this is reflected immediately on the front cover as it states that it features Ed Sheeran, Drake, Katy Perry and Cold Play. The cover line “The Brit award winners” also reflects to the audience that the contents of this magazine is mainstream. I have kept my colour scheme simple yet effective as it stands out and the three colours of red, black and white work well together to create a well-coordinated eye catching look. I have used direct language such as “you” in my magazine, so that the reader feels like the information is directly aimed at them, which make them a bigger part of the magazine.
