unseen cover exam practise



Masthead:
The masthead is the word 'billboard' and has used a bold and large font to really catch the eye as a reader, they have also created the masthead in a pink/red colour as that would attract their target audience which is females of the ages 14-25 and of a British ethnicity. Although they have put the main masthead behind the picture of the celebrity which makes the word stand out however you can't fully read what it says.

Colour Pallet:
The colour pallet consists of three main colours which are reds, white and black. These colours make the picture and writing stand out, this also attracts the target audience because they are grown up sophisticated colours which contrast and blend well with the picture. The colour pallet also produces the a look and process of the magazine and gives the magazine a nice look at an eye catching cover which would make you want to buy it.

Imagery/muse-en-scene:
The image that has been used is of Ariana Grande and the muse-en-scene is a very rich and pretentious look as she is only in a white towel although she has got a lot of diamond jewellery on and she is also wearing a pair of white Chanel sunglasses, this is proceeding the idea of a celebrities lifestyle which is very rich and glamorous. This could also contribute to the Laura Mulvey theory which is arguing that woman are 'erotic objects of desire for males on screen and in the audience'.

Typography/Lexis:
The typography is sophisticated and a very classic font with a slight cursive look to the font the colours of the font also are red, white and black. There is very minimal writing on the magazine and the font of the writing is very small so it makes the picture look a lot larger than what it is.
