Standfirst - 'In a world of bland, identikit popstars, Lily Allen is a tabloid-baiting breath of fresh air.....'

Main image - on the right of Lily Allen

Body/Body Copy - text in bottom left corner in columns.

Headline/Pull Quote are the same thing on this one which puts forward the ideology that what she says is important. Use of different sized letters are symbolic of quirkiness. This quirkiness could also put forward the ideology that people should be unique. The use of costume in this double page spread is subversive when compared to the stereotypical costume of a female pop star as she is not being sexualised. The main image for this magazine was taken on a white background to put emphasis on the artist herself. This double page spread is fairly convention with the use of the main image on one page with the text being on the other. The producer has chosen to use a direct mode of address and make the artist look directly at the camera to relate to the audience and give a sense of inclusivity. The use of a mid shot in this case is used to emphasis the subversive costume choice to push forward the ideology of being different. The use of Lily Allen's makeup in this double page spread anchors the audience into wanting to read more. If a teenage girl reads this magazine for example then they might want to know how to use makeup to look more stereotypically attractive like the artist so they will read more. The use of a 3 colour colour palette puts further emphasis on the artist as she is wearing bright clothes compared to the rest of the double page spread.

Culture jamming is often obsessed with the idea of destructing consumerism/capitalism. Culture jamming - the practise of criticising and subverting advertising and consumerism in the mass media, by methods such as producing advertisements parodying those of global brands. Adbusters potential genres: Pop Culture - Sans serif font has informal connotations Satirical Comedy - Attacks something. Adbusters uses a lot of negative white space which connotes purity but directly contrasts with the image shown on the background. Masthead changes every time. Every magazine cover is unique which shows they are challenging. There is no reference to anything that is inside. No...
