in style magazine is a well renowned fashion magazine that is popular for its use of highly fashionable celebrites. Jennifer Lopez being featured on the cover shows that when it comes to her sense of fashion she is held in high regard, cementing her place in the eyes of many as a fashion icon. The placement of her head in front of the title shows her status, allowing the spotlight to be firmly placed on her.The mid-shot focuses on the curvacious body Ms.Lopez has been blessed with, whilst managing to capture the elegance of her high class couture.
Lopez is standing in a dominant female position, giving the reader the essence of her independence and powerful business sense. However, the simplicity of her otherwise unique outfit and make up keeps the softness of the image, whilst attaining the true warmth and beauty of the celebrity herself.
Just like instyle magazine, People magazine also features famous celebrities, however the type of stories that they feature and write about completely differ. People magazine writes about the lives of celebrities, this can vary in topic: from weddings to newborn.On this particular cover of People magazine Jennifer Lopez is shown in a different light to what she is famous for. This feature concentrates on the lighter side of Jennifer Lopez, motherhood.
The business like look has gone from her face and replaced with softer use of make up and clothing. Her smile looks geniuine, potraying true happiness, her smile is relaxed but broad. There is nothing in this picture that represents the 'diva' attitude which she apparently possesses.
The softer colouring used in the image shows a lighter attitude and allows for their to be a calmer mood/ atmosphere, its almost as if their has been a transformation from 'jenny on the block' to Mrs. Anthony.
The mid-shot allows us to see the mother and children together as one, the fact that the image has been shot whilst the children are sleeping shows that they are at peace in the arms of their mother. The children are shot in colours that are darker than their mothers, this may be just conincidence but it is as if the spotlight is more on them, possibly their mothers way of showing that they are more important which can be seen from the way that she is behind the two of them instead of looking down on them . In this image Lopez is just being represented as and every day mother who just happends to be a global superstar.
FHM is unlike any of the other magazines that Jennifer Lopez has been featured on, as FHM is a mens magazine the readership are commonly known to only be interested in sports,cars,gadgets,money,women/sex. The front cover of the magazine is often featuring a celebrity in little to no clothes to attract its readers.

Once again she is in a dominant pose, however, on this cover she is almost lying down as if she is giving an invitation. She has a look of intent on her face and is not wearing a smile, more like a pout. the cover shows off the confidence and sexiness of a healthy mother of two who happends to be a worldwide superstar and entrepeneur. it as if she is as chameleon.
