Post 4 – How combinations of media language elements are used to create meaning and construct representations that address and appeal to an intended audience?
Introduction: How combinations of media language elements are used to create meaning and construct representations that address and appeal to an intended audience.
The layout of this Elle magazine front cover is neat and professional with a main image and small texts around Rita Ora. The layout is based on one single image surrounded by non - invasive cover line , which means it don't look messy and you can focus on the main image. The typography of the masthead of the magazine is bold , which connotes the title of the magazine , however the little subtitles , the font is swirly in words like " love". The fact that " summer fashion" is in white could suggest new and innocence." Summer fashion" is written in italics and in white which could suggest love is pure. The masthead is pink , which matches in with Rita's skirt and the colour pink is feminine and girly. The coverlines on the front of the magazine are all linking to Rita being in love , for example, " Im in love for the first time" , this could suggest why the main image of Rita she isn't wearing a top and showing off her big cherub tattoo. Furthermore, in the headline " silver sandals" the word silver is in bold and not sandals , which could suggest that silver is more classy and seems expensive , also it could suggest the colour silver is coming into trend this summer.There is only one main image which draws attention to Rita Ora and she is glaring into the camera in a sexy way.
The layout of this Vogue magazine is similar to the Elle magazine , in the fact that it is professional , with a main image of a well known celebrity , Selena Gomez. The layout of this magazine is also based on one single image surrounded by non - invasive coverlines , which means it looks professional. The typography of the title of the magazine if a bold red colour , which connotes the summer as its bright and the background is leaves which links to the summer and tropical. Also , Selena is posing in a floral pink outfit , which could give the target audience fashion advice and tips , and the cover line says " Selena gets real" which shows she's trying to express herself. There is only one main image in the centre of the magazine of Selena posing and her arm above her head looking straight into the camera in a sexy way.
Conclusion: In task 4 I learnt ways in which magazines are set out and how celebrities pose in magazines and subtitles based around the magazine.
