Just by looking at the main image of this magazine extract, I
can denote the mise-en-scene element of make-up, which
shows of Jessie J’s choice of a dark bold black lipstick, as well
as her nails coloured in black vanish and her black smokey eye.
From this I can connote, that Jessie J is trying to convey herself
to the audience as a strong and bold persona, which will be
consistently seen throughout each song of this album “Who
you are”. The choice of the black lipstick can reflect the
mysterious theme of the songs in her album and it can also
give a deeper sense of curiously to the audience, which will
make persuade them to purchase Jessie J’s album. Similarly, I
can connote that the choice of black smokey eye, enhances
Jessie J’s direct address towards the audience because it gives
a profounder meaning as it shows of a strong and bold side of
Jessie J. The fact that her mouth is opened halfway conveys to
the audience, that she could be asking them who they are and
it could also make the audience feel like they can answer her
question by finding the answer within the songs in this album.
By looking at this magazine extract I can denote that there is a
repetitive colour scheme of black, white and gold. These three
different colours individually give out a different meaning to
each other, however this poster couples the three colours to
give the audience a specific message, which will then persuade
them to go ahead and purchase Jessie J’s album. For example, I
can connote that the colour black conveys power, elegance and
strength. This would affect the target audience of this album
because it will show them that the songs within will portray all
the connotations of the colour black, and these connotations
will deliver a message to the audience, which will make them
feel inspired and empowered with themselves after listening to
the songs. Moreover, the colour white is only used as the
background colour of this poster, so it can work as a canvas for
the main image to stand out against. Finally, the colour gold
used in this poster conveys success and achievement due to its
original connotations of luxury and quality. The three colours
coupled together show off Jessie J’s intentions towards her
audience, which could be that her they are going to see her
journey from being a normal child to now being this successful
artist that she is.I can denote that this copy of the magazine extract includes Jessie
J’s most successful song “Price Tag”, which is from this album
“Who You Are”. This could be because Jessie J is trying to interest
her target audience by showing them that there will be more
songs like that featured in her new album. In addition, it is
highlighted that this song features B.o.B, who is a very well-known
rapper, therefore I can straight away connote that this album is
appealing for a wider audience. Overall, the fact that this is a
debut album and it already features a successful hit like “Price
Tag”, which features a well-known rapper straight away show the
audience that Jessie J is a very determined artist.
The typography used for Jessie J’s name shows off the way her name is
always written in promotional pieces for this particular album. I can denote
that this title is the biggest text on this poster and it draws the maximum
attention of the audience to it because of the gold colour, which makes the
title bold and it makes it stand out from the rest of the titles in the poster.
The colour gold also brings out the articular connotations of quality and
success, which will straight away convey to the audience that this album will
be successful.
