carrie underwood covers

cover 2- confident, strong, powerful
cover 3- comfortable, happy, proud
In this magazine cover she is presented as a happy women, she is shown to be proud of her house and her pet but also of herself. she looks lively and full of joy.
The differences between this two covers are...- David Beckham is show to be powerful and almost greedy with strength, however carrie underwood is show as a sweet and innocent women.
- Davids poster is seen as very dark and smart
- Carries poster is a lot brighter and lively with a hint of fun.
- There are a few stereotypes represented in these posters as well, such as the fact that David is seen with tattoos all over his hand, which is seen as manly but carrie has none.
- the have very different camera shots, carrie is fully body David is a close up.
- genre is very alike but they have very different audience
In David Beckhams magazine cover the men of the world are being represented as strong powerful human beings. in the close up shot it allows us to see the tattoo on his hand which often represents someone dangerous or trouble. when representing a man all you need is the face however with the women often have there full bodies on show. In Carrie Underwoods magazine cover the women are presented as sweet, innocent and colourful. Carrie is also seen with a lot less clothing on and it is also a full body shot. the cover reflects on the fact that women are obsessed with the way they look and how they are seen by men.
