Star Image

A classical magazine is aimed at the high class older generation so the magazine has to represent the genre to make it appealing for them. I've found that the star image on the page has minimal make up and styled hair, this gives a classy and natural look to fit the genre. Unlike, a pop magazine which use a dramatic and colorful look to intrigue a much younger audience.
The magazine shown below, the star gives a glowy and natural look. The makeup is nude and the eyes are not bold but still stand out. The lips are highlighted but not in any bright colors which could you distract you from the text. Also a bright lipstick like red symbolizes love which could be used in a vogue magazine to symbolize the vintage style and which was common in that time. The shot is a mid-close shot so you can see the whole of the star's face. You can tell the shot is from a studio and the hair has been styled to give the look that shes dressed up formally to suit the genre. I like the natural and glowy look, it makes the magazine look intriguing and pleasant to read. However, I do need to use some more bright colours to attract the younger audience I want my magazine to appeal too.









This magazine has much more closer shot of the stars face, which gives a much more closer look on to the star's make up. This star uses more bright and bold colours then the other classical magazine. The pink lips and the gold shimmery eye shadow are used to make the women look more formal and dressed up. The gold represents the classy look and the pink links to the highlight of red in the background. I like the touch of colour in this magazine but I would want it too much more bolder and neat.

However, this image was taken from a pop magazine of Adele. The look is styled this way in a studio shot to give a high classy look even though the magazine is normally published for the middle class. The black and white makes the eye liner stand out and give a bold effect but also give the minimal and natural look. I like the use of black and white which would follow my genre but I would consider using highlights of colour which would have synergy between all my pages.
