- bold colour
- super contrasting with black and white photo
- different to most other magazines, especially older ones]]> 2018-10-08 11:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290231338 Different Sized Text 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290231704 - importance of the words in this context
- order of what you're supposed to look at]]> 2018-10-08 11:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290231704 Repetition of Fonts 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290231844 larger font
- easier to read
- thicker/bold

smaller font
- defined and elegant
- almost old fashioned which relates to the use of the word reign]]> 2018-10-08 11:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290231844 Placement of Text 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232073 - white test is placed on the darker areas of the photo so it's easier to read due to it being white
- also has a good balance of amount of text on each side of the cover making it a little symmetrical
- speech nearer the mouth so it's obvious even without the speech marks]]> 2018-10-08 11:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232073 Largest Area is Photo (specifically her face) 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232481 - shows Nicki as the subject and the most relevant area of the cover, before the text]]> 2018-10-08 11:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232481 Contrasting Elements 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232892 - harsh colours with the black and orange
- orange contrasts with the rest of the cover that is black and white
- really strong black in some areas contrasts with the softer aesthetic and colour gradients

- Nicki's sound and usual look/vibe
- Usually very colourful, very sexualised
- harsh/strong sound, aggressive and powerful

- definitive clothing elements and strong makeup
- strong black lines and shapes in the little clothing that is shown
- heavy black eye makeup** this is important because it makes you look at the eyes and that's usually the most important if not prominent feature on a face]]> 2018-10-08 11:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290232892 Use of Certain Words 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290233471 "some"
- referencing other people so broadly draws the attention away from anyone or anything else and to Nicki and her art instead

"it"
- not her because its more than just a person, indicates IT is a physical being of its own

"genius"
- strong meaning
- not a very common word so it stands out

"reign"
- royal, high up, in charge
- important, successful]]> 2018-10-08 11:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290233471 Photo Aesthetic 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290233918 B&W
- simple and clean
- soft whites and greys but also dark strong blacks

grainy/blurry
- soft edges and lines
- everyday photo as opposed to a shoot
- very real and relatable]]> 2018-10-08 11:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290233918 Rule of Thirds/Golden Ratio 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290234176 - eyes lie on the top line, drawing audience into that specific area
- the teeth are dead centre and are the only thing in the photo that are stark white
- a circle placed in the centre of the bottom third
- the lighter areas create a shape similar to the golden ratio, converging at the eye area, making it super appealing and focusing in on the eyes again]]> 2018-10-08 11:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290234176 Lines 247262 https://padlet.com/247262/l6jgmsmg1t9h/wish/290234472 SUBTLE
