Cameron Duncan

Existing ProductThe main image show the artist “Sabrina Carpenter” in fashionable clothes and is using a fun address by looking into the camera and smiles playing with the headphones which are props for this image, Younger people look at her as hoping to be like her when they grow up and they may look at her as a role model.

The layout is very colourful and which has a lot of yellow on it meaning that it will stand out more and it will catch younger peoples eyes more than older generations. There is quite a bit of Dark pink as well meaning that them parts may be for more older people who like to read these kind of magazines. Her costume represents her

attitude which is wild and it shouts “I just want to have fun!” The props they use are the headphones that she is wearing, they are used because it is called Tiger Beats and it is a music Magazine like Karrang and Billboard. The colours are a mixture of bright and dark with the white T-Shirt and the black Leather jacket.

The font is curvy and fun to look at with bright colours that make them stand out. The title is in front of the artist so that assumes that the magazine title is more important that the picture, just like the side heading and the cover lines.

Existing Product The image was taking at LVL ten studios in San Carlos, California.

The lighting is coming from the side of her you can see the dark shadows on one side and bright colour on the other.

There isn’t much writing on this front cover meaning that there might be more images than writing inside the actual magazine. The Mast heading is over the main image meaning that the magazine title is more important that the main image.

The Costume is dark but colourful like the dark pink with the black, it goes well together, there isn’t any props used here because they didn’t need to use any seeing as it is just a music magazine but it is for interviews and quizzes in this magazine.

Existing ProductThe Mast heading is beside the main image but it is also above it so that means that they have equal meaning but the mast heading is more important that the main image, The main colour on this cover is Dark pink, suggesting that it is meant for females only, but a lot of males like the colour pink and they read these sort of magazines too.

The font is bold but dark because it is only for a certain audience, that is for 16+ females but some males do read thee kind of magazines if you are into this sort of stuff. The costume in this

is bright because it has dark colours around it and it blends in well with the background.

The lighting is coming from above and in front of her because it brings out the dark colours and it give her a lot of shadows so they would stand out against the white.
