Magazine Advertisemnt Analysis






Jessie J advertisement in a magazine



On this Jessie J advertisement for a magazine a close up camera angle has been used to show the artists signature dark fringed hair. She's been positioned so her arms are fisted to the sides of her head, which may have been to signify a song within her album, or it could've been perceived as sexual. Due to her eyes been the direct focus of the image which has been done to try and engage with the consumer. The overall image with her mouth being open and arms raised gives off a sexual vibe imply she's wiping her hair away from her eyes . However on the other hand the firm and strong eye contact she makes and the raising of her arms may be to imply she a very strong women who isn't shy and quite dominate.

By dressing all in black mesh and see trough clothed fabric its represented as been very confident but also having a sexual representation from it due to stereotypically known for stripers to wear fishnet tights and mesh clothing. The contrast in the black and white colours used throughout the cover is interesting and makes the image pop even though its dull and basic colouring. The colour gold symbolises royalty and actually links to the song ‘ price tag’ on her album where she sings about having loads of money, the gold colouring therefore could've been included to represent her song titles. Jessie J has a very straight cut bob style, this is known as her key signature look and is what people identify her with. By her hair style covering the majority of her upper facial features like her forehead and eyebrows it shows that perhaps she uses this to hide her facial expressions. Her look is very serious and dramatic and perhaps by looking her eyebrows in her hair she feels it gives her completion are more aggressive and strong minded approach.




Katie Perry advertisement in a magazine




This is a advertisement of a new album Katie Perry is realising , this type of poster would be found within a magazine. Katie is a solo singer who's songs come under the pop genre, we can tell this because the type of colouring and clothing she wears is very pop based. The font is very interesting, the flowy italic themed bubble writing is her signature style, which is stereotypical to see on her digipacks and advertisement posters. Katie is represented very provocatively by the way she has positioned her body. The on her knees look represents her as very provocative , by placing her arm over her hair it frames her upper body, the director ha positioned her like this to give a leading eye effect. The clothes she wears tell us she is very confident about her body, it emphasises she's very outgoing and adventurous clothing . This is shown through her PVC material ballet and high wasted skimpy shorts. The geometric pattern is very stereotypical for a pop advertisement , therefore she matches the stereotype and representation of a female pop singer. By her giving across a very sexualised body image it attracts the male audience which is also very typical to see within pop genre, where females use there body and assists to appear to a mass audience rather than just a niche audience . The colours used within this advertisement also fit the pop genre, within her clothing there are pastel colours with a geometric patter, this outfit links to the floral repeated background. The purple tones within her outfit complements her purple pastel hair style, this may have been done to emphasises her songs as being fun and energetic. The make up is very plain and not to dramatic. The font used to display her name is the artists signature font used throughout all of her album covers and advertisements, this is stereotypical for an artists to have as it identity's them as an individual.
