Case studies
On this magazine front cover you can see
that they have put an image of Chris Brown at the front. This is the only image
on the page and has been taken from a medium long shot to illustrate to us what
Chris Brown is wearing. The clothes he is wearing gives us the impression the
he is a rebel. The red t shirt he is wearing may be representation of passion
and desire. His t shirt is also closely associated with the “I’m still a
VIRGIN...in your eyes” cover line. The fact that he is looking at the audience
connotes to me that they use this image to try and attract the audience through
the use of direct mode of address. His tattoos can represent the tolerance of
pain and the strength with in him as a person, also suggesting to readers that
he is a powerful and rebellious person. The masthead is behind the image and
this connotes to readers that Chris Brown is the one that is selling the
magazine. The cover lines on the right
hand side of the front cover were used to intrigue the audience, and gain their
attention to read the magazine. The use of the colour green and white as a sign
of peace, nature, calm act as a binary oppositions to the colour red and black
as they connote totally opposite things.
