Analysis of Two Magazine Covers- Michael Jackson

The image has been cropped to show the artists top half of the body. Also, the type of shot that has been used is a mid-shot and this is to present Michael Jackson's body language which looks like he is very calm and relaxed.

The type of costume that is being used is quite simple as the artist is just wearing a striped t-shirt and this could suggest that he is just a normal person. 

There are no props being used.

Telling by the background, the setting could probably be a studio as it is just plain white which could mean that he is not very outgoing in terms of his personality and that he wants to remain an ordinary person.

The colours that are being used on this front cover are red and white, this can reflect the artist as being very calm.




The image has been cropped around Michael Jackson's face and the type of shot that is being used is a close up, this is to show how the musician is feeling and the readers are able to see his facial expression which shows that he is depressed.

Since we cannot see Michael Jackson's full body, we can only see from his neck upwards and it looks like that he is wearing a type of scarf which is the only part of clothing that is being presented. This could suggest that he is feeling insecure as he is trying to cover himself up.

Just like the first magazine there are no props being used.

The setting of this image could possibly be outside because the colour of the background is green which can represent nature, also another thing that could suggest that this is outside is that his hair is being blown across his face which is being done by the wind.

There are only two colours being used and they are black and green. These colours were used because it is another way on how the person is feeling and also this was published after his death which was his final and darkest days.
