  1. 1. Representation in Indie Music Magazine By Emily Turner
  2. 2. This font is serif font and it is quite formal and elegant and it would help represent the artist as being modern and sophisticated as this is how the font is portrayed. The colours used on this masthead are white and red. Red is the colour of strength, power, willpower and leadership. Red brings text and images to the foreground. This red is also seen as a feminine colour, which also links into the fact that I have unconventionally used all females throughout my magazine. White is associated with light, It is considered to be the colour of perfection and purity and this is how the artists are shown. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful beginning. The single letter is seen as bold, also information, it is also seen as formal and friendly.important
  3. 3. The main image shows this artist to be dominant and outgoing and confident in Indie music magazine. She is taking up most of the page which shows that she is the main focus. The use of dark clothing shows the artist to be stylish and mysterious, these are the types of outfits artists are usually seen in to distract the attention away from the clothes and allowing the focus to be on the make-up and face of the artist, This why it is typical for the main image to be a close-up. The main coverline Cheryl Cole rocks also links to the rocky image she is portraying.
  4. 4. Contrasting colours help represent the artists outgoing personality and the black background everything stand out, The content of the headline also encourages the reader to buy the magazine and read about their favourites artists.It encourages the reader to read on. It is what the audience expect and they can be represented by the text as some of it is bold and again could represent the audience as being outgoing.
  5. 5. The main image on this page on is representing the artist to be edgy and mysterious because she is turning her face, this could also represent the audience as being serious and outgoing. Also the use of the mid shot can represent them as being the main focus or centre of attention. Outgoing and fun, also represents them as being dominant. The colour represents them as being power and elegant.
