2. The main artist that will appear on my front cover will wear a
costume that reflects and highlights the fact that she is feminine,
cute and fun. Bright colour such as a vibrant pink will be combined
with softer colours to indicate that this artist wants to make an
impact and is here stay. The costume will be conventional to other
pop magazines in the sense of it being a girly colour (such as pink
or purple) instead of being slightly more masculine (such as blue).
The artists on the right all appeared on the front of pop
magazines. As visible, they all are wearing some sort of pink. In
some instances, for example the first and second model, have very
vibrant clothes on to emphasis confidence and femininity.
However, the last model has a very light pink skirt on which could
emphasis cuteness and the youth of the readers.
Their hair is open and bouncy which could symbolise the pop
music as a genre.
3. From looking at already existing pop magazines, I can see that the costumes
worn by males on the front cover is overall quite casual. For example, Niall
from One Direction is wearing a simple white t- shirt and a grey hooded
jacket. This is supported by the other two issues of the magazine as boy
bands. One Direction and Union J are dressed in quite casual costume. Mostly
features is plain t- shirts and some buttoned up shirts. Another conclusion I
have established from these three ‘We Love Pop’ issues is that the male pop
artists, costume follows main stream fashion trends. For example, on the left,
Zayn from One Direction is wearing a denim jacket, which is a very common
fashion item currently. Also, Niall on the right is wearing a jacket which is
very common currently as almost everyone has a hoodie of this style. Overall,
male artists in pop magazines are dressed according to latest fashion trends,
but casually. This casual everyday wear look, that most normal boys would be
wearing, presents the artists to the audience as just ‘normal boys’
4. The makeup on this artist is quite bold and childish.
This reflects the audiences’ age and innocence. Her
lip colour is pink, which follows the convention of
the front cover model having pink on them. For
example, she is not visibly wearing a pink colour,
however her lips are quite vibrant which also links
into the idea of being a confident yet feminine
woman. Her hair is perfectly straightened which
could convince the young reader to take up an
interest in her style.
The makeup on Rihanna is again quite
childish. Her eye shadow is a bold blue. It is
relatable to young teenagers as they may like
bold makeup and it may be a way to express
themselves. Her hair is very bright and
bouncy, which emphasises the genre of pop.
