The visual elements I see is the model looks very sophisticated and modest. It looks like she is standing straight and looking at the camera with her face slightly tilted for a more elegant look. She is wearing a pink lowcut dress with very puffy shoulders, she is also wearing a pink turtleneck under it and a pink hijab to cover up because she is Muslim. The color scheme is obviously pink, the background, her makeup, and her outfit are all pink, however her hoop earrings are gold.
The linguistic elements I see is at the top of the magazine it says "Essence" in big letters, then under that it has the models name and at the very bottom of the cover it says "breaking the mold", "breaking" is in cursive and "the mold" is in bold letters. I feel like the lifestyle suggested is maybe a more hardworking lifestyle, probably showing that anything is possible because it says on the cover, "refugee turned supermodel" Representation wise, Halima is the only person shown on the magazine cover, however on the side of the magazine a couple names were listed such as Pearl Thusi, Martin Luther King, Yemi Alade, Eudoxie Bridges, and Ebonee Davis. Something all these people have in common is they are all black activists. For mode of address I feel as if the audience being addressed is people of color, or minorities/diverse people. A person reading this magazine can see themselves as an addressee if they are a person of color, Muslim, or a refugee. They will probably also feel very inspired by this magazine cover. A potential reader is being persuaded to work harder to get what they want, this is because they are showing a supermodel who was a refugee. It's inspiring and will probably persuade some people to follow their dreams. |
