Magazine Analysis

    The Interview

This is an magazine cover of Rihanna, the advert title is called 'INTERVIEW' written in bold italic white writing connotes the fact that she is telling people about her life suggesting peace and simplicity. The fact that the writing is spashed across the place of the magzine advert. The writing is at the top of the page this may be situated there for everyone to see as it is eye catching ot the audience. In addition the writing is in italics which adds flare to the writing.

This will appeal to young woman around 16 to 40 as rihanna is a well know artist around the world the fact that Rihanna is a prime example why people will want to buy this type of magazine as they may want to know more about this type of RnB artist.
The artist picture is the main picture on the magazine advert, the artist is wearing pink lipstick signifying her femine side of things, the targeted audience will see her as a girly girl the audience may look up to her for the fact that she is fashionable. She is also wearing see through glasses this means that she is hiding her idenity as if she is shy, but on the other side her fierce identity followed by her facial expression of her posing.

Looking at this magazine, the background is filled with colourful flowers, all which you generally do not see around London. This can signify Rihanna is pulling off an exotic look. The sunglasses, make up and hair colour is also able to link in with the exotic look; for example, pink lipstick and sun kissed skin can show she is tropical.

Her facial expression also is an effortless pout, her eyes looking straight into the screen. This is able to signify Rihanna is not putting in any work to look how she does, it can be giving a message that if you also want to feel exotic and tropical, it can wash away all tries of trying to look a certain way. It can also be a message to young girls that look up to Rihanna that it's not about how you look, but how you feel.

The information is positioned on Rihanna's skin, the side of her arm exactly. This may be able to signify that all information that is passed out to magazines, news etc builds up inside her body, even if the information is true or not; though by becoming tropical/exotic will be able to flush away all the bad vibes that people may throw at Rihanna.



This is Lana Delrey Born to die album . In this album the majority colour of the writing is Blue and white, this could be deemed as eye catching for the audience. the band name of the artist is seen clearly on the page of this magazine. This a pop genre age range of 15 to 25 this is because of the lyrics in her music, I think that the ethinicity is all ethnicities this is because in her songs she talks about lots of diffrent subjects which relate to diffrerent people. The background of this has clouds, the fact that she is outside in the fresh air suggest that she is an young woamn who likes the outside.

I get this from the fact that she has also got trees in the picture telling me and the audience that she is in touch with the outside. The Band name  is called Lana Delrey this is written in white this could connote the fact that she is a simple minded young woman. the writitng of the has not type of design or ialics to it suggesting that she is a pure young woman. In adddition to this the title "Born to die" this is also in light blue the same colour as the sky, the message she may be trying to protray to her fans is that she is a calm and relaxing person as the colour blue is a very relaxing colour. To add to this the main image is of her self. The album Title Born to die, it is juxtaposition the fact that the title is called that and the background is shows blue skies, she is calling her album that showing her audience that she is ok with the fact that everyone is born to die.

She is wearing a white blouse in this magazine, this could connote that she is quite a humbale person, the colour white signifies purity, to add to this the fact that she is covered up is showing to her female audience that you dont have to be half dressed to look nice, people may look up to this artist in addition she also a role model due to the fact that she is not really showing to much of herself the way acts, her facial expression contribute to the fact that it is not like other artist as they just pose fiercely, in this content her facial expression is very serious may be showing to people amount there that she knows what she want or that she is sure about the type of artist that she is, compared to RnB artist they are more body comfortable either showing off skin this suggest that she is quite a simple person and is not a artist which has alot of attitude and personality.

This is Micheal Bubble, he is an Pop rock, traditinal pop, jazz and swing arist, the Album is called its times, the main times of this is his name which is the main thing on the page, this is written in white and black, this could suggest the fact that he could have to different types of personalities, this album could be targeted at 20 to 30  year old men, I think that the ethcinicity will be majority to white males or females, I have this opeinion because in todays society black males ususally listen to rap or Grime songs because the songst hat are written are more targeted at them, such as the lyrics are about crimes and sex, however Micheal Buble album is more of an pop rock artist that writes about lyrics which mean something, his audience could relate to the things that he sings about in his songs.
The back ground of this in white which is quite simple, the fact that the background is white focus the attention on the main Image, which is of the artist, the artist is wearing a black suit, showing that he cares about his apperance the fact that his hair is all nice and neat and he his wearing a tie, this shows that he is professional. The the fact that on the magazine cover it says "its time" this shows that its is his time to shine.
