Britney Spears“Top of the POPS” shows Britney Spears, pop star, on the cover looking innocent. The colour she is wearing, purple, suggests that Britney is or is like royalty. Also, how the shot is taken is very suggestive , it makes her look as if she is of very sweet nature, however, the tints of black in her clothing item tell us that she has a dark side to her. Maybe even that she is rebellious and that she’s not as what she is appeared or made out to be.

The free badges also implies that you are getting more then what you paid for. This is a good way of drawing in your audience as they feel happier with themselves because they are getting a free gift.

The skyline at the top of the page normally shows the free gifts and offers inside the magazine as when you are looking at magazines on shelves this is one of the first tings you see.

The camera shot used is a medium shot , her pose is very laidback as she is on a magazine that appeals to the younger audience therefore she can’t reveal anything or be seductive.

This is an anchorage as it is on top of the main Britney image. This is so you know what is being spoken about. It’s a play on words because it says ‘Behave Britney’.

Lily AllenNME has Lily Allen as the main focus if it’s front cover. In this cover Lily Allen’s attire suggests that her personality is rebellious and dangerous, we deduce this from the red on her shirt. Red also represent seductiveness and intimacy, however, this is not the case in this magazine cover. From the attire we assume that the magazine is aimed at a younger audience range, teenagers, as they can link in with the type of person she is .

Her make up, is very messy and possibly a tad sinister which shows that she does get into some kind of trouble. Also from how the shot is taken, her looking up at us , suggests that she’s down, depressed and not a very optimistic kind of person but it also suggests mystery, like she’s done something but we’re not exactly sure of what.

The Skyline on this offer things which link in with this. This magazine also has a ‘Pug’ it is in the corners of the magazine like dogs ears.

The puffs on this magazine are mainly advertisements. They mainly promote certain things within the magazine., these are mainly bold and colourful so they can pull the audience in with the offers. The puffs are to do with music in this magazine, as it links in with the genre of the magazine.

On the Q magazine , Madonna is the main focus as she is the biggest image on the page. The camera angle is a medium close up shot this captures her facial expression shows mysteriousness and her body language shows hostility which is not what you’d expect for a front cover of a magazine.

Madonna is dressed in a black and silver hood and the rest is distorted this is a representation of her age as she’s in her 50’s it shows the magazine is respectful to her age by not putting her in revealing clothes , as she wouldn’t need to be anyway because she is such a big icon.

The black background contrasting with the red text makes the word “MADONNA” more visible to the human eye. The red text connotes with the devil or danger as usually we associate red with danger or bad things. This could show that her interview reveals a dark and sinister side of her we have never seen before. Her facial expression also matches the theme of the magazine and it has been adjusted to Madonna.
