Indie Magazine Analysis
The target audience for this magazine is not for younger people as there is swearing on the front cover and this would not be appropriate for children to read. The type of people who would read this magazine would probably be young adults and people who listen or are interested in indie/alternative music. The magazine suggests it is a indie magazine as the make up is not 'casual' make up what you would see people wearing everyday and is different and not the 'norm'. Also there is a lot of bands/indie artists mentioned which shows that this is a indie magazine, as if it was a pop magazine pop artists would be shown/mentioned on the cover.
The image suggests that the model is vulnerable as there is a heading saying "I feel so alone", she is also covering her face which may suggest she is on the edge about something and finally she is wearing no clothes which means she is bare. In contrast to this the image also suggests she is strong as she is making direct and intense eye contact and has red hair which is seen as 'fiery red'. Therfor this picture is intriguing as it sends different messages and will draw in the readers or viewers attention. There are no props actually used in this image but things are used to make the image and cover stand out, such as blue eye shadow is used to match the blue in the cover stories, dark nails are used to convey her strength and slight darkness and finally her vibe rent red hair to bring colour to the cover and match the red of the 'Q' section in the top right corner.
