Magazine and Poster Annalysis




















After discussing magazine ideas with my group, Georgia suggested that our magazine cover will have a pull out feature. On the front of the magazine there will be an image of the main character of 'My Valentine' played by Georgia White. We decided this will look like the front of magazines such as 'Cosmopolitan' because it will reach our target audience. The pull out feature will look more like the front cover of 'Empire' magazine I have included in this blog post. This will juxtapose between a 'normal' image of the main character and then the 'twisted' version. This will give the audience a sense of the character 'before' and the character 'after'. I think this idea will work well because it is unusual and its not something that is in every magazine.

We also had further ideas of connecting both of covers together for example using a heart. Half the heart will feature on the front cover and the other half will appear on the pull out. The heart symbolizes the 'love' in 'My Valentine'. Both halves of the heart will connect together to make one heart. The heart on the front cover will be 'sweet' and the other half of the heart which is on the pullout will be 'ruined'. We also had ideas of using the same pose on the front cover and pull out. On the front cover our main character will be 'normal' maybe with a bunch of flowers. On the pull out, the character will be 'twisted'. She will be in the same pose but look 'creepy'. She will also be holding the same bunch of flowers but they will be ruined and dead.

We are not sure exactly which idea we will use however we will now take this into consideration and pick an idea. We will ask for audience feedback as well as discuss in our group in order to pick one that will work with the audience.
