This is my research for my visual unit.

The main image show
the artist “Sabrina
Carpenter” in
fashionable clothes and
is using a fun address
by looking into the
camera and smiles
playing with the
headphones which are
props for this image,
Younger people look at
her as hoping to be like
her when they grow up
and they may look at
her as a role model.
The layout is very colourful
and which has a lot of yellow
on it meaning that it will stand
out more and it will catch
younger peoples eyes more
than older generations. There
is quite a bit of Dark pink as
well meaning that them parts
may be for more older people
who like to read these kind of
magazines. Her costume represents her
attitude which is wild and it
shouts “I just want to have
fun!” The props they use are
the headphones that she is
wearing, they are used
because it is called Tiger
Beats and it is a music
Magazine like Karrang and
Billboard. The colours are a
mixture of bright and dark
with the white T-Shirt and
the black Leather jacket.
The font is curvy and fun to
look at with bright colours that
make them stand out. The title
is in front of the artist so that
assumes that the magazine title
is more important that the
picture, just like the side
heading and the cover lines.

3. Existing Product The image was taking
at LVL ten studios in
San Carlos, California.
The lighting is
coming from the
side of her you can
see the dark
shadows on one
side and bright
colour on the other.
There isn’t much writing on this
front cover meaning that there
might be more images than writing
inside the actual magazine. The
Mast heading is over the main
image meaning that the magazine
title is more important that the
main image.
The Costume is dark but
colourful like the dark pink with
the black, it goes well together,
there isn’t any props used here
because they didn’t need to use
any seeing as it is just a music
magazine but it is for interviews
and quizzes in this magazine.

4. Existing ProductThe Mast heading is beside
the main image but it is also
above it so that means that
they have equal meaning
but the mast heading is
more important that the
main image, The main
colour on this cover is Dark
pink, suggesting that it is
meant for females only, but
a lot of males like the colour
pink and they read these
sort of magazines too.
The font is bold but dark
because it is only for a
certain audience, that is
for 16+ females but some
males do read thee kind
of magazines if you are
into this sort of stuff.
The costume in this
is bright because it
has dark colours
around it and it
blends in well with
the background.
The lighting is coming from
above and in front of her
because it brings out the
dark colours and it give her
a lot of shadows so they
would stand out against
the white.
