This Q music magazine displays Liam Gallagher, with a close up shot, to present the genre of Q music for that magazine with is a rock theme. This is shown by having the name of rock band's names on the cover. Liam's face doesn't have any expression. This doesn't suggest that the magazine is serious but its to create a sort of 'rock atmosphere'. I found it clever with the way they used the band Beady Eye' in the glass lens where the 'eyes' are. Also, the name 'Liam' is in huge red writing which stands out against the brown and white background. The other sub headings are displayed around Liam's face to show that he is the main, important person and story of the magazine. The sub headings that are in a bold attracting colour seems to be the stories that should be the ones that they recommend you to read. The background colour is presented as grey to match Liam Gallagher's glasses and to make the main celebrity for the magazine stand out. |

This Billboard magazine shows Miley Cyrus as the main singer/celebrity of the magazine. She has a serious expression on her face makes her look daring and older, like she wants to be atken seriously in her career and not to be seen as the young girl that portrayed 'Hannah Montana' on the Disney channel. This is proven as she is wearing a black leather costume and her hair and makeup professionally done to make her look older and also in a way, more mysterious. Its like she want to move up in the career doing what she loves. All this you can see in her eyes and facial expression. The way she has the letter 'M' covering her suggests that she is promoting herself and her music. The way they made the colour of the 'M' gold makes it signifies that she is number one, that is like a race and everyone wants to get the gold trophy/medal and by making her wear the gold letter shows that she is 'number 1' and that she has worked/trained and deserved this achievement in her career. Billboard magazine is a hard music magazine to get on the cover of, and for a young star like Miley Cyrus proves to us that her music is the one to listen to. The background colour of the magazine is purple to show us that the target audience they are presenting the magazine to are females or young girls.
This music magazine 'Billboard' for this front cover shows the singer Bruno Mars. The way its laid out is quite empty but the only thing its focusing on is Bruno Mars himself hense why the main sub heading is his name. this clearly represents that most of the magazine is about either music or the singer. All the other sub headings are smaller than the main one to show that the sub stories aren't that important. The colour of the writing is white to stand out from the shiny blue background. The red shiny top that Bruno Mars is wearing compliments the background with the colours and the shine. Also the line diagonal by Bruno's neck is like some sort of spotlight, like the cover is trying to show that for the magazine, Bruno is in the spotlight. Also, the way Bruno's arm is at an angle and the way he is pretending to touch a tie, suggests to me that he is trying to show that he is cool and smart at the same time and this also supports the reason why he is wearing glasses to show that he is cool and it also suggests that he is secretive in a way, that is why he is hiding his eyes because to me, the eyes of someone tells you more than their actions.
