The pictures show the RELATIONSHIP between the three characters CLEARLY. We felt that the second picture worked better than the first as the characters were CLOSER together which made their relationship EASIER to recognise. Chandelier (Kate) is giving EYE CONTACT to the reader which shows that the story line is based around her as the other two characters aren't looking into the camera. Rhino's (Matt E) FACIAL IMPRESSION highlights his EMOTION which is clearly anger, as he is at the back of the picture looking onto Chandelier and Mickey (Matt B) it's clear that he is angry about their RELATIONSHIP. This picture makes the story line clear as Mickey's hand is placed onto the bump to indicate that he is the father of the child. Also, we decided to put make-up onto one side of Mickey's face to show his SPLIT PERSONALITY, as we learn in the trailer that he cross dresses.
These were two pictures we took for our front cover, we decided to use the love triangle story line as our main concentration for the magazine cover.
We took INSPIRATION from the TV Easy magazine, using BRIGHT COLOURS to make our magazine stand out. The use of bright colours also highlights the sense of a PARODY and the other storylines are from other soaps created in our class.
I think this magazine cover is a good, conventional cover. It has all of the stereotypical 'trashy' magazine conventions which makes it appeal to an audience who like to watch soap operas.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are bright and abstract which would stand out on the shop shelf, making it more appealing to buy for.
I also think the characters eyes are good to be looking in the camera, as if to be looking at the reader of the magazine. If I saw this magazine in a shop, I would want to buy it and I would also want to watch the soap because it looks so inviting.
You can see what is exactly happening even without knowing the story line. i also think the colour scheme works really well and it stands out which will draw people in to buy your product, It uses all of the coventions needed for a trashy soap magazine. I really like this magazine cover.
