Magazine advert analysis


The name of the artist is Gwen Stefani.The font/lettering is best described as royalty and power as this evokes the respect that she has for herself.The physical appearance of the star is represented as being glamorous even though she is posed in a really relaxed position. Her stance and facial expression is showing that she is not bothered and she just plays it cool.  


The low angle shot represents her as being powerful, whilst she looks downwards into the camera to show her power. She is the main focus in the advert because she is in the centre. This is showing that Gwen has dominance as she is the centre of attention contrasting with the low angle shot. This image is very powerful and she is represented as a queen. 


In this music advert, she uses the colours yellow, red and white, these represent fierceness, the title of the album is Love, Angel, Music, Baby. The use of red represents love and the use of white is used to represent angel. For this reason, we will need to consider the colours of representation when we do our magazine advert so that it fits to the genre. 







The name of this artist is called Rihanna. Her physical appearance in this magazine advert would be best described as quite vulnerable rather than stern like in Gwen Stenfani's magazine advert because she is not looking into the camera. With the title of the song 'Only girl in the world' makes us think that she is quite insecure and wants to have all the attention on her but may not be receiving this. 


The colours used in the magazine advert are similar to the colours we would like to use because our video is about love and romance as so Rihanna's song so red would be good representation. The close up mid shot, shows that she is not dominant which is also evoked when you hear the lyrics to the song. 


Rihanna has taken extreme to a whole new level with the red hair and the red lipstick. This makes the magazine advert stand out so that there is attention from both male and females. Rihanna has inspired us to use red lipstick in magazine advert because we want our advert to stand out and be immediately eye catching. 






This name of this artist is called Beyonce. This magazine advert was published in order to market the release of the 'I am SashaFierce' album. The chose of colours to use black and white and then use colour for the parts that would stand out was a clever idea. The main part of her costume is in colour we pay clear attention to it, her eyes are also in colour and this gave is the idea of having a black and white image with some some colour so that it is eye catching. Black and white images show class and allow the colour parts to the image to glow and appear glamourous to the audience. Beyonce is generally all class and glamour as an artists so those words are best to describe the kind of artist she is. She is inspiring to all women.

Beyonce's music probably is probably the closest example that we are going to get that would be most similar to our artist Corinne Vielle. 

For a magazine advert, I have applied these ideas and decided to combine the two of Rihanna's colours and Beyonce's black and white to show class and glamour theme showing red lipstick so that it also stands out because in Beyonce's image, there was colour but they were dark colours so not very noticeable until you go up close to it.
