Cosmopolitan is a well known fashion magazine.
On this cover, Jennifer is placed in front of the title to show her importance towards the magazine and also how high her star status is.
The colours, red and orange, shows the fiesty attitude of Jennifer. It also symbolizes the sun, the summer season. Her posture with her hands slightly pulling her dress shows that she has confidence towards herself. She doesnt smile in this cover and keeps a straight face. Her eyes, her flowing hair and her tanned body attracts the audience as this shows her wild personality. This also shows that she can be flirtacious.
J-Lo is wearing a revealing summer dress which goes with the theme of the magazine, "Sexy swimsuits". She is directly showing her cleavage to the audience which helps picture the image in a more sexier way.
The camera shot used is a mid shot to show off her dress that she is promoting for the magazine. This is an advantage towards the magazine as it is a fashion magazine.
The lighting used here is bright. This helps bring the image out more realistic and brings out the clothing that she is wearing.
Overall Annie you've made an excellent start to the course. Some really good examples of media language being used to explore the texts.
