Media Gender Theory

1. I think that this specific cover
of
the billboard magazine
agrees
with the male gaze theory as
there are many features of
the magazine cover that
reveal this.
These things include:
the way Iggy Azalea is
standing;
The colour of her lips; her
make-up and her direct eye
contact.
The way Iggy Azalea is
standing links with the
male gaze theory as it is
making her body frame
more appealing, the
magazine has done this by
using a mid-shot. This is
effective because it makes
her look more confident
that will attract male
attention.
The colour of Iggy
Azalea's lips links with
the male gaze theory
because her lips look
like the main focus of
the magazine and
making them look
more appealing. They
have done this by
making her lips the
same colour as the
masthead. They have
also done this by
placing more lighting
on her lips.
