E.g. In this Big Issue front cover, the simplistic and minimal approach makes it very clear to the reader what the focus of the later articles is. The Masthead of the magazine is located in its traditional position, in the top left of the page. Its large size and choice of contrasting colour, matching the theme of the magazine cover, all help to make its iconic style stand out. The font of the Big Issue has a similar aesthetic as ' Eagle Book', a straight forward and bold font. The masthead also takes priority over other elements of the magazine cover, as it is positioned forward. The main cover line, 'BRAND NEW', is also shown in the same yellow colour as the masthead. The use of this against the dark background helps to emphasise the meaning behind the cover line. The use of the pun helps to create the light humour of the following articles, as Russell Brand is well known for his humorous side. Underneath this main cover line, the sub cov...

Throughout the video the singer glances at the camera, creating almost a connection with the audience, though a different connection depending on the gender of the audience. For a male audience, Khalid is shown in a position with a female which would be desirable for a heterosexual male. This is a common trait in videos containing the theory - presuming the sexuality of the audience, and forcing the audience to view the vides through the eyes of a heterosexual male. Though for a female audience, the singer presents himself as desirable for them directly. A female viewing this video begins to compare themselves to the girls shown, making Khalid the goal. As the video goes on, it becomes more female orientated and so aimed at the heterosexual male. The scene changes to a party, where the lightin...
