1. For my magazine covers,Iwantthemto symbolise one of the deadly sinstocreate a really
captivatingpiece of workandone that will catchreader’sattention.
The gold andwhite used
on thiscovergive
connotationsof glamour
and goodwealth.Giving
the magazine a highend
look,the same one I
wantto be goingfor
because of the target
audience.The use of a
Sans Serif forthe
mastheadmakesthe
magazine instantly
knownwiththislarge,
strongfont.
HavingAnne
Hathaway
dressedingold
associatesthe
magazine with
beinghighend,
rather than
puttingina pair
of jeansanda
shirttheyopted
for a much more
glamorous,put-
togetherlook.
Thiswill drawin
people of upper
cassesbecause
it isa colour that
symbolises
wealthand
power.
Havingjustthe month
on the magazine itlets
readersknowit’sa
monthlymagazine
rather thana weekly
one.
Switchingbetween
Serif andSans serif
fontsmakesthings
much easiertoread
and looksmore
effectivethanjust
usingone style of font
all overthe magazine
cover.
The way that
Anne Hathaway
isposedmakes
herlook
important,
strongand
confident.
Perhapsgiving
the narrative
that she isa
strong
independent
womanand she
doesn’tneed
anyone else but
herself.
The dark eye makeupandvisible amountof skincouldalsobe seenasprovocative –appealingtothe
male gaze.Sayingthisthough,itcouldalsoappeal towomenas theylookupto and aspire to be like
her.
The reasonI like thismagazine somuchis because ithasgoldfeatured,andone of the sevendeadlysinsis‘GREED’,whichI
wantto showas goldandluxurious.Althoughthiscoverisn’tcompletelygoldandisfocusedonthe more glamorousside of
the colour,I want to take thisaspectand turn iton its head.Making itmore of a negative thingthana positive.
