College article analyzing

I used Chris Brown as a magazine cover to analyze the magazine. The use of his image and the way he is dressed allowed the audience to become attracted to the magazine, because he is a well-known artist and is shown to be comfortable with his clothes. The background was also there because the dynamic background really suited the magazine cover.

During the lesson with Zaf, we were analysing college magazines, in which we were preparing to create an college magazine for our coursework.

I chose this magazine because it grabbed my attention. The magazine itself contains many devices that were used for effect. The medium long shot of the girl is subtle. Her appearance, in which she looks quite innocent flirty, and her direct approach to the audience is what gained my attention, as if I felt I was connecting to her. The smaller features also seemed to look quite fun and interesting, and gives me something to read about. 

Finally, while analysing the magazine cover, I had arrowed how the magazine uses technique to attract audience attention, alongside the fact I named everything that was inside the article (i.e. Barcode and Subtitles).
