Analysis of Magazine 3: People


People magazine is a well known US celebrity magazine for a worldwide audience.

The image of Jennifer and her newborn baby twins is set in a homely environment. This image shows her motherlyhood and her maturity. She is positioned in front of the title which shows how important she is than the magazine.

J-lo has a bright smile and her hair is tied up to emphasise her euphoria. Her head is slightly tilted closely to her newborn children to share the happiness she has experienced.

J-Lo is wearing clothes that blends in with the background. She reveals her shoulders which shows us that she still has an impact her in her glamourous lifestyle she is living in as well as being a mother.

The camera shot used here is a close up. The close up shot concentrates just her facial features and her baby twins to show that they would be the important subject the magazine would be focusing on. This also engages the audience to feel warm and close to Jennifer.


The lighting used is low contrasting light and the use of colours are very warm and light. These colours enables us that Jennifer and the twins are welcome back to their home and that they are well.

  1. A good analysis, it's a very different representation! You could comment on the colours used e.g. beige and the connotations of this. Her hair is tied up but it is very different to the Style magazine cover. What are the different connotations?
