Miley Cyrus in editorial covers, souvenirs and action figures are situated with the colours purple, black and white.

Coverlines:
The size of her image fills the page and leaves only a bit of free space on the sides of her for the sub-headings.Masthead:
The Magazine logo is in large and bold font to fit the width of the page. This emphasises on the Brand and company of the magazine, manipulating the reader to always look out for that specific logo.

Here is a magazine cover from the established Pop magazine “Blender”. Again a female model is being used, who is a popular country singer who has broken into the pop charts.

Costume:
She is dressed in black and white with however rocky edge look which doesn’t seem to display as a pop magazine.
