The colour palette shows female connotations, I think this is because the deep purple has connotations of love, calmness and it is a female orientated colour in general. The font is simple, this connotes that it is easy to read and shows the simplicity of the magazine without the ned of fancy fonts. The image shows a medium close up of Shakira. Her pose is bold, this has a representation of power and shows that she is strong. However pretty and delicate with her hair flowing and makeup perfectly applied. This image, is not like your typical magazine front cover image. Shakira is plainly dressed, well covered up and looks very respectable. This goes against Laura Mulvey's theory of the "male gaze". Her theory states that women are seen as " erotic objects of desire for the audience to enjoy." Shakira is proving this all wrong by looking gorgeous, yet classy in this very feminine image.
