The image is a top shot of Britney lying down, this makes her look attractive and still young and sexy with the phone and the teletubbie in her other hand. A sexy, cute shot has been used because to attract more customers, also a lot of people like Britney and that’s why cute has to be a part of the main image. Rolling Stones uses a lot of celebrities as a sex image on their cover, most of the time the celebrities have hardly anything on. However in this image their still keeping her age in mind.
Britney’s costume suggest that she’s not that good young girl, this appeals more to teenage boys or even men. Her image attracts boy’s eye, especially because she is a famous singer. Also her costume does not flesh a lot of her body as usually the magazine would have, she’s still 17 year old girl.
In the image there is a telephone and a teletubbie in her other hand, this shows that even though she’s undressed she still has the cute side of her inside her.
Bright and sharp settings are used to make her body look sexier and toned, this makes the image look more attractive. And also the sharpness makes the darker parts darker so where it’s bright it’s brighter and where it’s dark it’s darker.
The intertextual reference is the teletubbie because there is an actual children’s show about them, this shows that a 17 year old girl that is going through the stage of being a girl to a woman. The woman symbol is the underwear and bra she’s wearing.
The colours used are pink, black, purple and lilac. The pink represents the girly side of her, the black represents the elegant/grown up side of her. Purple and lilac represents the sexy side, the purple/lilac silk material makes her stand out and makes the image more sexy.
A side shot of her has been cropped to make her shape look sexier, which will attract more customers. There are no other images or anything in the background, so the attention is focused on her.
This time Britney’s not wearing much, only underwear showing that she is a grown woman. Her leaning against the wall with her backside leaning out makes her backside look bigger and her chest leaning against the wall makes her chest have more tone, this makes her shape look perfect, skinny and toned. With that pose she is aiming to have a sexual tension with the reader.
Bright settings are used to make her look sexier and toned, a bit of softness is also used to make the image took a bit like a dream or an illusion. These settings make her look all perfect, this attracts mostly men.
The lighting is used just from the right side so there is brightness and a bit of shading to give her a bit of tone.
White and a bit of light pink, only these colours are used to make her stand out and look like a perfect woman from dreams and to make it look simple, this makes her look more naked.
This image has been chosen because Britney has been through a lot and she’s trying to come back, so she wants a close relationship with the reader in a simple way. The picture being black and white shows the coldness and the sadness of what she is going through.
The image is cropped really closely of her face, and from her face you can tell that she’s sad and also in the picture she’s not looking how she used to look before. She used to look like a diva, always looking perfect. However in this picture is showing how she has changed, no makeup makes her look more plane with the black and white effect.
She wants a personal, simple and close relationship with the audience, for the audience to understand what she is going through, what she’s been through and instead of judging her she wants the audience to get to hear her side of the story first. ‘Britney Spears, inside an American tragedy’ straight away goes with the sad picture of her, it makes you feel sorry for her and by buying the magazine you could find out the story from her and what she’s going through in person.
