MAGAZINE FRONT COVER ANALYSIS

Out of all the front page covers the most effective in my opinion is the WORD UP front cover. This front cover in particular connects with my intended target audience, who are 15-18 year olds of both gender and who are also in addition,  driven by 90s contemporary R&B music . The front cover has the widest range of colour and celebrities. It also uses more informal language which young people nowadays will familiarise with. The mise-en-scene of the front cover is also quite modern in society. For instance the baggy clothes , creative hairstyles and make up on the celebrities relates to the current trends constructed by young people. I can use these features as an inspiration for my final front cover to help capture the attention of my target audience . Using baggy clothes as an inspiration for my front cover will make the theme of my front cover easier to identify. For example baggy trousers, oversized t-shirts and jackets with bandana's hanging loose from a back pocket of a trouser, black shades for either both male and female models will create a clear perspective of the 90s period . Moreover , for make up the female models in particular can wear dark lipstick and and stylish make up designs on their face to show the essence and creativity of the 90s era.
