Fashion Images of Pop Artists

 The first thing I noticed was that female pop artists are usually put in front of the masthead to make them the centre of attraction. In this one,  Katy Perry is accessorised and placed in front of the masthead, making it harder to read. There isn't much text placed around her and she seems like the main focus. The angle of gaze is straight at the audience, making the front cover eye-catching and more personal. Her name is in the largest size again making her the most important person on the front cover. The other text around her is quite small, making it less important. The spacing is used quite well however, she seems like the only thing that matters to the readers so text is very minimal. The colour scheme is also very consistent and not too over the top.


In another edition of the Billboard magazine, Beyonce is put in front of the masthead, making her the focus. Her angle of gaze is straight at the camera, making people pick up the magazine. Again, her name is the largest text on the page apart from the masthead, making her the centre of attraction.  The colour scheme is also quite consistent on this magazine but her name is the only text that is an ombre shade making it stand out.

On this one, it is almost impossible to read the masthead unless you are familiar with it. Taylor Swift's angle of gaze is straight at the camera and her whole outfit is on show, making her stand out. Also, the fact that she is in front of the masthead, it makes her the main focus. Her name is not the largest text on this magazine however, the way she poses is very eye-catching. In my opinion, the spacing isn't used as well as it could've been as the puffs and coverlines are all the same size, making them less important. The colour scheme is very consistent as the same three colours have been used throughout.





On this one, Chery Cole is smiling and again, she is in front of the masthead, making her stand out. Her 'big' hair is very eye-catching as well as her wide smile. She is the main focus of the page as all the other celebrities are smaller in size and therefore, less important. There are only a limited amount of colours used on this page such as pink, purple, black and white. Overall, these front covers can inspire me with my production work as I can incorporate many of the features into my own magazine.

 Many pop artists wear fashionable, bright coloured clothing which usually reveals some of the artist's skin and body. Most of the accessories worn by the artists match the outfit for example Katy Perry has green hair which goes with the bright green sequins on her outfit. Ariana Grande is also wearing a black, cat-eared headband to match her black sequins outfit and Miley Cyrus has her nails painted red and her lip colour is also a bright red which matches the red sequins on her outfit. Most of these outfits are short and the artists' legs are on show, which attracts a lot of people. Overall, the outfits worn by pop artists are quite bright, eye-catching and revealing.
