Potential Poses

After reviewing different types of poses I have selected a few that I think to be appropriate for my magazine.

The first one is a 'Super Smiler' pose. This is very common on the front covers of teen pop magazines. The pose has eye-line match which is appealing to an audience as it draws their attention and draws them into the magazine. The fact that the model is smiling gives a happy impression and suggests that the article is lighthearted which will appeal to an audience. I would like the 'Super Smiler' pose to feature in my front cover image. Here is an example of a 'Super Smiler' pose.

A second pose that I would like to include is the 'Chocolate Box' pose. Which is when the lips of the model are slightly apart and it is either full on of their face or slightly to the side. This pose emphasises flawless beauty. I would like this pose to feature on my double page spread. Here is an example of a 'Chocolate Box' pose.

The third and final pose that I am considering including in my magazine is the 'Invitational' Pose. This emphasises the eyes of the model and looks very mysterious. It is a pose which draws in the reader and is a soft sell. I am thinking about including this image on my contents page of double page spread. I think you could possibly use them for a front cover image but I think that a 'Super Smiler' pose would be more appropriate for my magazine genre. Below is an example of an 'invitational' pose.

There was one other poses that we looked at but I have decided to try and avoid them for my magazine. wanted to avoid a Romanic/Sexual pose because I thought it to be inappropriate for my target audience. This image usually features one person but is not common in the teen pop genre. Below is an example of a 'romantic/sexual' pose.
