Magazine front coverI like the pose &

position the

model is in Her

body is facingaway from the

camera but her

gaze towards the

front.

Good use of

lighting Photo

and is in focus.

Helps torepresent

the genre of the

magazine which is

music.

There isenough

space forthe sell-

lines, title and

othertext togo

Forms and Conventions I have used bright

vibrant colours

which reflect my

target audience

(teenage girls) and

will help toattract

theirgaze. I have positioned

the smaller images

on the page at

different angles to

try and avoid the

vertical/horizontallineson the page.

The text on thepage is also

brightly coloured

tomatch the

colourscheme on

the rest of the

page.
