The document discusses several magazine covers and the images and design elements used on them. The first cover features a graduation photo of a young girl making clear the target audience. It also includes background images of other students. The second features a male student carrying books to depict the college lifestyle.

Her pose is meant to be inspiring yet appealing to both male and female audiences.

1. The positioning of the image being placed on the left hand side creates a contrast between the relations of the image and the coverilines. It shows the connection, with the main coverline relating directly to the image. The main cover image on the magazine cover is a focus of a young girl at graduation. This in all automatically provides the genre and audience type for the magazine, as the use of the girl in her graduation outfit identifies this. In the background image you can see various other students, which creates an atmospheric area. It shows a whole picture for the matter of the having more than one image for the reader to see. The choice pose and direct eye contact towards the audience, creates the feeling of the image trying to withhold the readers attention. The slight tilt of her body can suggest that the image is meant to capture a moving turn of the student looking back.

2. The min cover image in the magazine, is of a male carrying school books which creates the entire image of the college lifestyle. It shows the aspect of being able to express yourself, shown through the clothing, but also having the concentration towards education. The positioning of the cover image, is a stereotypical format with the cove image being center aligned as the main focus and eye catching picture. The school books signify the ethics of common factors of education, with the school books clearly being shown, through the choice of colour scheme. The mise-en-scene throughout the entire cover is black, clothing, background image, however the books are brighter colours which signify the importance.

3. The main cover image in this magazine is different, as the use of using a celebrity icon as the cover image instead of a direct relation to the magazines content, makes it unique. In addition the use of using ‘Nicola Roberts’ creates the feeling of inspiration for a student wanting to aspire to be like her. This can also help advertisement for the magazine as a brand as the promotional aspects will be supported by the celebrity herself. The pose creates a sense of sexuality within, trying to appealing in the form towards males. However, it also shows a sense of aspiration towards the female audience. The hand over the face, can show the main feature of the face as the rest of the body is partly covered. The mise-en-scene within the centre image, is under a colour scheme, with the relation between the cover line ‘Whats On Now’ and the colour of Nicola Roberts eyes and the clothing.
