The image on the left is from the existing magazine 'top of the pops'. I will be comparing the main image used in it with the image I used for my front cover. The picture of Tulisa that they have used is a very attractive as it's a positive pose. She is smiling and this portrays a positive attitude towards her and the magazine. The picture that I have used is not as positive because the model is not smiling however, the pose that she is delivering is suitable for a pop genre music magazine because it shows an attitude which is necessary to attract the audience.
The shot type that I have used is a medium shot which is the same as the original picture from 'top of the pops' magazine. I used this type of shot because most pop genre magazines use this shot type for example, 'top of the pops' and it suits as well because with a medium shot you can see the expressions and postures properly. Also, there are angles used on both of the images because on the picture of Tulisa she is tilted to the right and looking directly at the reader. In the image I have used I have taken the picture from the right with the model looking directly at the reader.
The posture of the two pictures are different because Tulisa is posing with her hands on her hips whereas, my model is posing with one hand on her hip and using the other hand to blow a kiss. I have constructed my picture in this way because it is similar to the original pictures from pop magazines in terms of postures and shot types. Also, the expression on Tulisa's face is very friendly because she is smiling which gives a positive impression whereas, the expression on the model of my magazine is not too strong because she is not smiling or moody, she is giving a flirty look.
The costume that has been used for Tulisa is very different to the costume used for my magazine model. Tulisa is wearing a very simple pink top with a very stylish black jacket whereas, my model is wearing a black and white jumpsuit which also looks very stylish. Also, the hair styles of both of these pictures are different because Tulisa has her hair down curled whereas, my model has her hair pinned up.
All of these elements of these two magazines like, the postures, shot types, costumes, layouts and colours illustrate that these magazines are targeted at young females as they are most likely to relate such presentation styles, attitudes and gossips that are included within these magazines.
Overall, through the style of my magazine I have represented young people especially girls as very confident, cheeky and modern individuals. I have done this through the use of presentation such as, the picture posture, angle, shot type, expressions etc.
