Deconstructions: 1

In this deconstruction, I looked at the masthead and noted that it was situated at the top of the page, behind the models head with a fancy serif font that embodies beauty, formality and traditionalism. I then looked at the model and noticed that she had an invitational facial expression. She uses light makeup and perfect hair. It is also important she is female. When I looked at the costume, I saw what I expected - the bride wears a wedding dress. She is posed in a way that showcases a ring and is calm and poised. With the background, it accentuates the minimalist background and compliments the color scheme. Finally the sell lines convey that the magazine is supposed to be used for inspiration on every detail of a wedding. A range offonts have also been used to create visual interest.

What can I take away from this?

I also want to use an invitational expression so I could use this an inspiration for my model. I could also consider blurring my background to bring my model forward, though I'm not sure how this would look. This also could be inspiration for photos where the ring is put on display. Finally, the positioning of the model over the masthead is something that I like from this layout, as is the positioning of the sell lines.
