Jennifer head is covering quite a large part of the title showing that the magazine is well known and having Jennifer on the front cover will make the magazine more popular. Jennifer is wearing red dress which blends in with the backgroud of the front cover therefore this draws the audiences attention to the parts of her body thats showing.
The red, orange and yellow colour scheme makes are colours associated with fire so it gives her a firey look and makes the picture more bold and sexy.Her focus is directly towards the audience. The sub title ' his pleasure' suggest they are talking about jennifer also.Her hair is being blown back by wind which shows her whole face and shows off her shoulders and chest.This makes her more revealed and connected to the audience.

On the front cover of this magazine we can see that the magazine has completely changed the audiences view of Jennifer.We see her here holding her babies showing she is happy being a mother and has settled down.Her dress is a pastel like colour so the focus is on her chilldren instead of her. Jennifer shows her happiness by her smile and also shows that she is comfortable moving from a sexy icon to a proud mother. The colours used for the picture of the magazine are very light and shallow colours unlike her other magazines. This shows that she no longer is the center of attention and she now shares the spotlight with her children.Her head covers the title of the magazine showing that she is an important part of the magazine.The title has an outline of lilac which blends in with calm colour scheme.Eventhough there is an image in the corner, it doesnt take the attention away from Jennifer

On the front cover of this magazine her head is only covering the end of the main title which can suggest that the magazine is not yet well known and have used jennifer to increase sales rates this suggests that she is a powerful icon.In this image she is wearing a light blue bikini which brings out her golden skin colour and which is often desired by many women . The background which is also a light blue emphasises the way her body is positioned and again brings out her skin tone.She is positioned sitting on the floor which is covered with sand showing that she is exotic at the same time powerless as she is on her knees,which will attract men to the magazine as they like to think they are dominant. Her hand is placed on her hip and she is leaning to the side showing off her curves and defined stomach.The title below her knee gives us a sense of how she is seen by the industry and fans which is a 'goddess'. The look on her face is fierce yet seductive which give more sex appeal to the picture.The title next her head saying 'sex mad' sets a mind frame for the reader that this lady is all about being desired or a goddess. This image portrays jennifer to be a sex icon and eventhough the magazines main audience is women this image will definetly attract some men.

On the front cover of this magazine(instyle) Jennifer has a face that immediately stands out on the front cover because her head is covering the actual name of the magazine. Not only does this show that the magazine is well known it shows that jennifer has a respected and powerful status.Half of jennifers dress blends in with the white background but because of the other half of the dress which is black, the audience look in more detail and will catch the readers eye which is perfect since the magazine is about fashion .She is standing side on which shows off the dress and gives her more of a feminine look.Her hand is resting on the side of her hip which shows off her figure and makes the dress more interesting to look at. Jennifers hairstyle is tight and sleek often associated with business people and have chosen this hairstyle to make her face stand out.The colour of her lips match the main title which brings out her face na ddoesnt make her dress so plain.The text of the cover is quite small except for the sub heading 'fall fashion'. This shows that jennifer was picked because she is a dominant fashion icon and has an effect on the fashion industry.The colours used on the front cover are very bold and classy.
