Denotation:
The magazine cover shows a man holding a basketball and looking in a straight line at the camera. The camera shot is of the man is medium long shot because it’s showing his head, arms and wrist. The background of the magazine is white so the picture of the man stands out brightly mainly because his wearing a bright blue top as well. The picture of the man holding the basket ball takes up the whole magazine this makes it catch the reader’s eyes. On top of the man the title College Basketball the Masthead which is big and black on a white background so this is also good because it stands out from the rest of the text. Also theirs a barcode on the bottom right.
Composition: The man is posed in a happily way while representing the basketball as well so this could mean that if you play basketball you could be happy like him.
Costume: his clothing is basic their not any think really special just a basketball polo top which is branded by Nike and the basketball team Logo.
NVC: His Non verbal communication shows that his really happy with his mouth open and his white teething showing and his looking directly at the camera.
Lighting: The lighting is high key because it’s bright.
Setting: This setting is not really shown properly but I guess it could have been set in a basketball court mainly because it’s about basketball.
Masthead: the magazine title is called ‘College Basketball’ this is very eye catching because it’s big black and out with a white out line so this makes it stand out from the rest. Also there is another title on the same page that says ‘ The Cult of Calipari’ this also grabs the readers eyes because it’s the biggest font on the page with a White colour font and a black out line.
