The close up of the front cover image shows Adele looking directly looking at the camera, showing the interview and feature inside could include something intense or something from her perspective, like looking into what is through her eyes. The serious facial expression provides an idea that the topic is something she is close to and sometimes has difficulty talking about. The fact that the image is a head shot covering the chest up, focuses on he facial image and what goes on inside her head, as there has always been criticism of the celebrity's weight.
The colour of the black outfit would have been chosen to blend with the background so that Adele's facial features and especially, her red hair stand out. The lighting only reflects of the face to leave no shadows and so that the image looks clean, simple and classic. Although there is colour in the middle of the letters in the magazine title, the colour scheme appears to be black which and red. The emphasis of the red hair could represent the fire that the singer feels and her passion of what she does.
The target audience for this particular issue would be females of any age, as she is wearing little makeup so looks young and fresh but especially isn't dressed provocatively - which would be how to target the male audience. The magazine targets those who are interested in the charts as Adele has had several No 1's and has more or less dominated a lot of the charts.
The image captivates those that would be interested in hearing of the singer's life and how she has coped with a lot of criticism. The cover looks as if it is trying to achieve a serious and intimate look into the life of Adele.
From this cover I will use the minimalistic look on my own magazine, because it highlights the artist more and makes the magazine look classy and sophisticated.
