Cosmopolitan Analysis


The use of the image of Beyoncé can be regarded as juxtaposed with the opposition of the dark manly colours and her sexy feminine looks. the black dress connotes power and respect however the use of her cleavage and her long curly shimmering hair it shows off just how sexy Beyoncé really is. The covering of the title shows that they expect the reader to already know what the magazine is called due to there layout with the main image in the dead centre and having tag lines and headings all over the sides, also they may have done this to bring more attention to the image of the 'FFF of the year' (FFF- Fun Fearless Female). With the use of the different subheadings they may have been used for a comedic reason with the sub heading of 'Never lose your orgasm again' suggesting that you may be able to miss place it. 

With the use of bright colours it grabs the readers attention to try and speak tot hem before they even begin to read it by being bright and flashy and looks as if you want to buy it because of how colourful it is.

  1. WWW: Good connotations of colour with reference to the black dress. Good analysis of the brand being established due to partially covered masthead.

    EBI: You need to expand into detail. For example to mention the contrasting yellow background - what does the colour yellow connote? How does it link to the model's smiling facial expression? Refer to the language used in the cover lines, is it formal or informal?

    LITERACY: Capital letters at the start of a sentence.

    SHOW ME: Add detail (as advised in EBI) Comment on Beyoncé's outfit, her stance - the fact the magazine uses celebrity endorsement. The colours of the font, the arrow instructing 'flip open'... there is missed opportunity for detail!
