Magazine

in a modern fashionable and attractive way, but is ultimately dependent on
what the genre the artist fits into.

3. Front Cover The image is of a young male musician
who is of a stereotypical age, gender and
appearance to that of a mainstream pop
artist. It is the only image shown on the
front cover and is against a plain grey
background which makes him stand out
more to the audience. The camerawork
depicts him from a high angle and he is
smiling which makes him seem more
friendly and attractive to the target
audience. The costume is also used to
show this as he is wearing his hood up; this
represents him as a modern and
fashionable person which is accurate to
the house style and would appeal to the
target audience. The colours used on the
cover story include read and white and are
very bright and eye catching. This
develops the conventional, positive
representation of the character as a pop
artist.
