In this magazine cover we get the impression that Lily

Alan is very bold and boarder pushing as she is not only surrounded by big cats which imply verbosity, she is also revealing the top half of her body, this mixed with the dark colours of the rest of her costume suggests that she is hiding something that will be revealed inside the magazine as her body is faced away towards the inner pages of the magazine. Her pose is brings the reader’s attention on her body, which as his showing a lot of skin implies she is a risk taker, and the props joined with the description ‘sexy beast’ implies she is a predator and is fair from boring. This entices us to read on. She is showing little expression on her face but is still making eye contact with the readers, this makes it hard for us to figure her out, and will make us read her article to find out way she is appearing on the magazine the way she is.

From this cover we get the idea that M Shadows is rebellious and a rule breaker, we get this impression from his tattoos, backwards cap and gothic looking T-shirt. The dark colours suggest he goes against the rules and he is more on an individual. His pose is very active and controlling as he is making contact (under the sunglasses) and is pointing towards the reader. This implies he is very active and possibly aggressive with the mix of the tattoos and dark sunglasses. Also the use of sunglasses means we can’t see his eyes suggesting he not showing all of himself, and maybe that he has something to hide. The prop of the microphone suggests he is all about the music and that he enjoys singing and preforming. The fact he is singing/shouting at the reader pulls us into the article and shows his character as a bold and loud person

from this magazine cover we get the image of Eminem being serious and tough as is the cover he isn't smiling and is staring at the camera with a very stern expression. The clothinig also shows you his muscles also suggest his is tough and that he lives by his own rules. he is also wearing dark clothing adn the mix of this and is facial expressions suggests he has something to hide and that he isn't here to joke around. the cross neckless contrdicts this however, as it suggests a nicer more religous side to him. the light is a lot bright arund his upper body implyng he isn't as dark and mysterious as his appearence suggests, and the lack of clothing suggests he has no secrets as he is showing off his skin. His pose and the mediam shot shows he is informal which supports his rebel appearence.
