2. The poses seen when analysing this magazine
show more than one person with a mid shot
because not the whole of their bodies can be
seen. This picture of one direction shows a
good representation of what the band are like
as they are fun and lively. The photo does not
look specifically posed showing their
personalities to the reader. The shot is effective
because it is clear, and allows the reader to
see all five of the boys and gives away the
main concept of the magazine to the reader.
The photo being on a white background is
very effective because it makes the band
stand out even more as the background is
very plain. The white background also means
the other aspects of the cover can also be
seen clearly allowing the reader to understand
the point of the magazine before buying it.
The clothes the band are wearing are also
quite bright and stand out. This also shows their
personalities and gives the reader a small
insight about them, showing they are quite
young which is a good, accurate
interpretation of them. The lighting of the
photo is bright, giving a positive attitude to the
reader.

3. When analysing this pose from “We [heart]
POP.” I can see the pose is a lot more
thought about and serious. Katy Perry is
shown posing with a serious face with her
hand on her hip. This gives the
interpretation that the interview included
with her inside of the magazine could be a
serious topic. This however does not show
an every day representation of Katy Perry
as her make-up, hair and clothes are
perfect.
The use of the white background is again
very effective as it makes the model stand
out very well from the other information
that is on the page. The photo shown uses
a mid-shot which allows the reader to see
a medium shot of Katy Perry which lets the
reader see her full face and upper body.
However, the left side of the model is
slightly cut off which could have been
done so that the audience can read all of
the surrounding information clearly.
The photo looks very posed, with the
models hand her hip which gives the
impression she is making a “statement” to
the reader giving the implication the
interview is very formal and informative
about Katy Perry

4. This photo shows a much more close-up,
zoomed in picture of the model, Jessie J.
We can see the model has perfect make
up and hair and the photo is clearly very
posed and is just one of the photos chosen
from a huge variety of potential photos
taken during a shoot.
The photo is taken with a white
background which makes the model stand
out which is effective because other
information and pictures on the page can
also be seen clearly.
This picture however, does not represent
Jessie J in an every day situation because
the photo is too perfect. This photo was
evidently taken in a photo-shoot therefore
it does not portray to the reader what
Jessie J is like every day. This could be a
negative because it does not show the
reader what the model is like in everyday
life. The photo is not positioned in the
complete centre showing the
photographer has taken in the rule of thirds
whilst completing the photo-shoot.
