In order to help me with my own magazine images, I did some research on facial expressions. I discovered that the two main theorists (Trevor Millum and Marjorie Ferguson) had created various groups in which both male and female models facial expressions could be categorized into. I think this information will be very useful when creating my own magazine as I need to decide which category will be most effective for my Target Audience. Once I have decided on an appropriate facial expression I will need to reproduce the features within it. To give me a more visual idea of this I have created a Google slide share to show example images of the different theorists categories:
Overall, this piece of research has shown me the different ways in which magazines attract and appeal to an audience through the conventions of their dominant Image. This will help me to create my magazine as I can inform my model on what facial expressions I would like them to do so that I can draw my audience in more effectively. The expression I am most likely to use throughout my magazine are practical or seductive if I chose to have a man has my main dominant image or If it is a women, I will use invitational.
