According to Dyer's : 'How we are seen determines how we are
treated'. ' a star is a image, not a real person.' Eminem is clearly posed here
to show a strong independent man in this image. Also he is surrounded by red
and black writing this is also showing the colour of danger and strength. The
masthead is very outstanding in this front cover as it is behind the model,
this is breaking one of the conventions of a magazine it is also outstanding as
some of the text is also behind the model. This brings all eyes onto the model
and draws the eyes to the models torso and tattoos. This could also be used to
represent Mulvey's but twisted, to say
that males do things to attract women and the female TA.
The magazine has also used symbolic signs, this is the use
of the cross around Eminem's neck this represents God or religion. They also
use iconic signs - the tattoos, the cross, the black t shirt, the crossed arms
and expression, these work together to represent anger or disgust.
From this magazine I may use the way the front cover is busy
and boldly laid out in my own magazine.
