In comparison of one of my magazine's pictures (to the left) and that of another magazine (to the right), I can see that there are many similarities. Firstly, the postures are quite similar, with both models resting their heads on their arms, giving a feeling of relaxation that could symbolize a proud gesture of smugness because they know they represent good music. Secondly, the expressions are similar, with both pouting. This makes them look welcoming. A stereotypical view of youth is used by both me and the other magazine, because the pouting and smug posture of the two young models symbolizes sex which is know to be a scourge of modern teenagers.
There is no emphasis on pro-consumerist ideals here, the clothes are not the focus of the pictures at all, whereas the attitude symbolized is.
The classes symbolized in these pictures include middle class teenagers who are trying to get through their hormones and emotions, which is yet again reinforced by the model's postures and gestures.
The lighting differs in these two pictures, with mine focusing on darkness on my model's face and in the other photo, the lighting is used to emphasize the woman's natural beauty features. The costumes are very casual and symbolize rebellion, i.e through my model's undone buttons and tattered hat and the other model's t-shirt that says "security", meaning, with her sexual orientation connoted, that she could take control of a man and represent an ironic comparison between a real security guard and a bedroom fetish, for example, where the girl "punishes" a man. These all add up to create a massive portfolio of the rebellion represented.
