1. In these images of Little Mix, their edgy yet chic style
is clearly presented. Each of the girls are wearing
similar outfits and mixture of colours. For example,
each girl is wearing a pair of shorts and mainly
dressed in oranges and blues. Their outfits reflect
their individual styles, whilst the matching colour
schemes allows the outfits to look good together.
Jessie and Jade’s long volumised hair is styled in long
loose curls, with indicates a classic femininity and
fieriness, while looking fresh and current. The girls
hair looks in its natural form, as if to show the readers,
who idolise them and their style, that there is nothing
better than being natural. It also makes the girls look
fresh-faced and youthful. This is further emphasised
by the natural looking subtlety of their make up. It is
simple and not too extravagant, again presenting the
‘natural look.’ Each girl has their own individual style
to appeal to a wide audience, as there is more chance
of the fans being able to relate to one or more of the
girls.
The colours of the girls outfits matches the overall
colour scheme of this article. The girls are making
direct address with the audience, looking straight
down into the camera smiling. This suggests a funloving attitude and a confidence as they look like
they’re happy and having a great time. Their happy
expressions and their costumes keep the overall look
fun and youthful. The background is plain which
forces us to focus solely on Little Mix. It makes the
stand out more and draws the audiences attention to
them. There are no props used, which presents the
idea of Little Mix being a band purely based on talent
as they don’t need props and extravagant settings to
provide a good show. The lighting is a bright, ambient
lighting. This again highlights the girls natural beauty
and highlights their features.

2. In this image of Cher Lloyd, the background is plain to ensure
the focus is solely on Cher. Her costume is stylish yet quirky,
to present her quirky style. However the tight fitting of the
outfit also provides an idea of femininity and it shows her
slim figure. Her hair is long with loose curls to make her look
grown-up and feminine, whilst the shaved part of her head
reflects her quirkiness and shows her rebellious side. It also
adds individuality to her look, like her music style as she is
different from other pop artists her age. Her ‘smoky-eye’ eye
make-up draws attention to her eyes and makes them stand
out. The rest of her make up is very natural, which appeals to
the Target Audience.
Her body language, again, shows her quirkiness as she is
displayed in an awkward and unique position. Her hand is
position over her mouth, as if she is shocked of has had a
rebellious ‘oops’ moment. This is again reflected in the way
her eyes are wide and doe eyed. It also suggests a no-care
attitude, that she is just having fun. Her body language also
draws attention to the tattoos on her hands and arms. This
again presents the feel of rebelling.
The only prop in this shot is a camera. The camera fits in with
her body language and the overall feel of the image as it
suggests Cher has done something hilarious and rebellious
and wants to capture it. It also relates to the front cover
which states that she ‘finally snaps!’. This creates a symbiotic
link between the front cover image and the double page
spread. The colours and designs on the camera also match
her trousers and the colour scheme.
