analyising front cover images

Before doing my magazine I had to analyse other magazine to make sure my work was at a good standard. I looked at the structure how each magazine made iconic shot and noticed how they captured a shot. I looked at the edits aswell the background the format of the pictures props to see what I can inspire to do making my image original and professional.

. The first thing I found interesting and unique was the Q magazine was the artist lily Allen with the tiger the background was plain and she wore black tights same colour as the tigers and below Q magazine  it says sexy beast which is her and the tiger both tigers were either side of her. The image makes me think about lily Allen started off as a kitten and turned into a sexy beast. She is also topless this suggests that the magazine is trying to get more male audiences.

I then looked at this image of this magazine and see how they were presented they were all men huddled around the women look like brotherly figures around the female. The background colour is green and they all look like their wearing casual stuff. I think each person shows their personality in the photo with the man on the left with a stern face, the women with a seductive kiss, the man on the right looks shy the man behind him looks very bubbly and the man behind the man on the left also has a stern face.

I then last looked up the image on vibe magazine of the music artist usher wearing glasses it is also a close up of him wearing glasses a chain and a ring. The picture looks very cool of him. Around the picture it says  swagger suggesting that usher has swagger.
