(First image) -The Central Image on the front cover of the ‘Rolling Stones’ magazine is Britney Spears. When this shot was taken she was only just 17. The image has been cropped just above her knee, revealing more parts of her body. The image has been framed to fit the whole of the cover, to attract the readers as they are using her image to sell the magazine. The shot type of this image is an overhead shot, exposing her body more clearly to the readers. This makes her seem loose as she is only 17; this promotes a fact that the Rolling Stones magazine is an example of a man’s magazine
- In the image Britney Spears is hardly wearing any clothes. She has been dressed in provocative and sexy underwear which suggests that she is quite promiscuous and care-free in the way she presents herself. Her shirt that she is wearing has been undone revealing a black bra, from this we can suggest that the colour black is her informing everyone that she is a strong and confident women and that maybe she doesn’t feel or act 17. This image would appeal to men in particular and attract them to go and buy the magazine.
- Britney Spears uses a prop in this image, one being a TeleTubby. This could suggest how at heart she is still a young girl or perhaps promotes the fact that she is really only 17. It gives the readers a sense of innocence and maybe inexperience. Using this prop could confuse the audience into thinking what she is actually like which then teases the readers.
- The Setting of the image is supposed to be inside a bedroom as Britney is lying down exposing herself on a bed. The bed covers seem very silky and sleek which not only makes the setting look very sexual but it makes her appear sexual too.
- The Anchorage Text to support this image is, ‘inside the heart, mind and bedroom of a teen dream’. This supports the fact that she is set inside a bedroom and also supports the sexual nature of the picture. By also using the word teen, strongly states that she still in just a teenager of 17, and comes across quite confusing to the audience as to why they would be presenting her in this manner.
- The Colours that are used in the central image of Britney Spears are colours such as, Fuchsia pink, pale pink and black. These colours again promote Britney is a sexy and sexual nature. The colours (pink and Black) are powerful and striking colours, they also contrast each other making her stand out and also make her look attractive and appealing.
(Second Image)
- In this second ‘Rolling Stones’ magazine, Britney Spears has been cropped at the top of her thigh, revealing to the readers eye the top half of her body. The type of shot is a mid-shot; Britney Spears herself is standing sideways which reveals her curvy and slim body to the readers.
- In this Image Britney Spears is standing up against a wall, pushing her bottom out, revealing her assets and curves to the readers. Britney is wearing a pair of knickers but no bra; she is covering up her breasts by standing upright against a wall. It seems as though Britney is contradicting herself as she bears all by wearing no clothes and no bra, but she still wants to and manages to cover up her assets. This shows how she is teasing the readers to buy the magazine, as they believe she may bear more inside. This image doesn’t show Britney Spears in an angelic and innocent manner, this explains that the relationship formed with the readers will not be a sympathetic or sensitive one, but a heartless and uncaring one. From this image, Britney comes across very independent and stuck up, showing the readers how she may feel that she is better than everybody else.
- The Central Image seems to be set in a bathroom and from the image I can gather that this is the shower area. I also notice that she is clasping something in her hand which I believe could possibly be a shower curtain. This image shows Britney about to get into a shower; it also shows her about to get into a shower alone. The way in which she presents herself in this image is not only desperate but quite cheeky. She seems as though she is crying out for affection and tries to achieve this by posing provocatively in a way she knows will catch the reader’s attention.
- The Lighting in this image focuses particularly on Britney Spears herself; the lighting is used to emphasize Britney’s slim, sleek and curvy body. Lighting has been used on her hair to make it seem striking and shiny. This all helps to make Britney herself appear stunning and attractive.
- The only Colour in this image that has been used is white. There may be two reasons why this colour is used, one being that it symbolises purity and cleanliness and the other being that they wanted to focus more on Britney and her own body complexion as this is very striking and appealing.

(Third Image)
-The Central Image in this magazine has been chose to focus more detail on Britney Spears herself. It contrasts with the two previous images that were used of her flaunting her body and acting and dressing provocatively. The use of black and white in the image suggests how Britney’s flaws have been stripped away and reveals the more innocent and naive girl that has been there from the beginning. The use of the black and white makes the image more clear and understandable, it reveals more to the audience as it is really just her face and emotion to focus on.
- This Image of Britney has been cropped below her chin, creating a close-up shot of her face, revealing no more or no less. This also contrasts with the other two images as the both displayed Britney’s body and focused more on that asset. This image however centres on her face and expresses Britney’s emotion as it presents Britney in another light. By cropping the images in this way helps the readers deeply and directly connect with Britney.
- I feel this image was also chosen so that Britney could strike up another; however different relationship with the readers and this time a more deep and meaningful one. In the image Britney is neither smiling or crying, her expression is neutral which helps the readers to sympathise with her as I feel she is almost saying that this is who she really is. The Anchorage Text that supports this is image reads ‘inside an American tragedy’ the word ‘tragedy’ would strike the readers and make them sympathise with her as it implies that she has probably been through a lot of life problems and issues. She wants people to look beyond her image and name
