Analysis of Magazine 1: InStyle


InStyle magazine is a well known fashion and beauty magazine from the UK.

From looking at the magazine, the image of Jennifer Lopez is placed in front of the title. This emphasises her importance to the issue of the magazine. Also, the use of buzz words used on the bottom left; her name is in bold capital letters also shows how important she is towards the magazine. Her hair tied back tight shows the inner beauty features of her face especially the lipstick that she is wearing.

Jennifer is stands slightly to the side with her hands on her hips. This presents Jennifer in a much safer way than she is when facing forwards. This also shows her curves and the detail of the dress.
This represents her glamourous lifestyle and the hierarchy of her fame. Also, this shows that she is stylish and wealthy. Her perfect smile informs the audience that she is a friendly person.

The camera shot used is a mid shot. This is used as this shows the audience a clear view of Jennifer's features such as her body and face.

The lighting used are very bright to help add an effect towards the image. This helps her star status to her fame.

  1. Well done Annie, a thorough analysis with some good use of media language. Things to think about:
    ~her hair is pulled back quite tight, was impression does this give of her?
    ~think about that is relation to the bold red lipstick.
    ~what does her facial expression reveal?
