magazine

• The main attraction of this magazine is OLLY MURS. Having this photograph of this artist allows him to connect with a wider audience and shows his commitment to his fans because he is modelling for a gay magazine. The photo is central allowing the first gaze at the magazine to be OLLY MURS. Having the photograph central it is a big selling point for the magazine as this photograph is classed as EYE CANDY. Having the text saying HOT beside the image makes everyone look directly at the image and allows them to put there own opinion of the artist and what they think about him and his songs. Having the text in the same colour throughout the cover is gives it a more basic layout and more approachable perspective. Having a background very simple it makes the main focus of the magazine stand out, which on this cover is the photograph of OLLY MURS. This photograph will not only promote the magazine but also make Olly have a bigger fan base as he is posing for a Gay magazine not just heterosexual magazines allowing his fan base to enhance. Having other stories around the edge of the magazine it is creating a teaser pulling the audience into the magazine to view the image and to asses the stories.

CD anaylese

• The advertisement of artist is the main selling point of the DIJIPAK itself as having the artist repeated 7 times on the front of the CD cover. Having each one of the images expressing different emotions , it allows the audience to have a connection with the artist and the also portray the emotion of the song through his images. Females will look at this single cover as a sexual fantasy because many girls will look at the images and asses the looks of the artist. Again as i said earlier having him staring into the camera it is connecting to the girls and will enhance them to buy the CD. The design and layout of this single cover is very simple, having the single cover simplistic there is a greater chance of the audience understanding the emotion behind the song and the emotion the images are portraying towards the audience. Having a simple cover it allows all the focus to me on the artist and nothing else. The natural colours of this DIJIPAK almost promotes the artist opinion of how he is viewing the song FOR EXAMPLE - Having a relaxed colour shows us that the approach the artist wants us to have with the song which is a relaxed atmosphere. On the DIJIPAK there is not just one image of the artist but multiple this is a unique selling point and is not only promoting the song but also the artist. A theorist Mulvey supports the idea about the male gaze, however this goes against his point unless homosexual, because this photo supports the female gaze because the way in which the artist is looking into the audience. Having the singles name on the front of the DIJIPAK allows the audience to quickly identify the song, instead of browsing through the DIJIPAK wanting to know what the title is. The photos down the side look like they have been taken in a photo booth at the city as they are lined up that way, this creates a relaxed approach to the audience and shows the personality of the artist to the audience. OLLY MURS is in a different colour to the title which makes it stand out more and shows the audience exactly who the artist is. The photos taken look natural by this i mean they don't look like they have been modelled, having natural photographs supports my view of having a relaxed atmosphere and emotion. Just by just looking at this album the target audience looks like it is aimed at young females because of how the main photo of the artist is gazing into the audience and creating a connection with his fans.

CD analyses

• Very simple and straight to the point
• shows the artist herself
• aimed at a femal audience
• Her name looks like it has been writen on which makes it m,ore personal to her.
• To me her hair on this photo is pointing left and right which to me its telliong us to open the CD
• However malkes may buy this because they will look at the photo as a sexual fantasy also know as the male gaze.
• Natural colours
• Name - "FEARLESS" has a black shadow draws you to it.
• Background matches the colour of her hair
• Representation of sexuality - she has no eye contact with you which makes it more secretative as you want to know want she is looking at.

This is our selected song from our artist Carly Jones.

Lyrics:[Verse 1]
How can you describe your sight to someone whose never seen Impossible, like trying to feel when you're numb from head to to Like chasing the universe No awareness of space or time like trying to describe when my heart is racing faster than the speed of light

[Chorus]Why should I have to have a reason to smile
Why should I have to have a reason... to smile

[Verse 2]
So confused taking pieces from different puzzles time passes by, like any other day language of the soul music to me close up faded dots..step back and take the picture in

[Chorus]

[Bridge]Letters from the words. words from the sentence Sentence from the page, a chapter in the book Running over the logic again in my head It doesn't make sense. The story ends.

[Chorus]
