Artist representation
Lily Allen introduces her new style with her hair cut short and boyish which is quite a drastic change from her previous image of a sexual, beautiful woman. Too get her new identity across to the audience, Lily Allen oozes self confidence though her photo with the intimate direct eye contact which connects with the audience and also makes the audience feel uneasy as they don't know what Lily Allen is capable of, by the radical change in image that is shown by what she is wearing, she looks like she hasn't made an effort for the photo-shoot which tells the audience she doesn't care what people think of her. Also her hair and make-up do not represent Lily Allen's old music genre as she looks like a rocker with the stereotypical dark, over the top eye make-up and the short spikey, stereotypically homosexual hair. All of this added together creates mystery and curiosity for the audience as it makes them want to read about how and why Lily Allen has changed and if her music is changing. This image corresponds with the image of Lily on the front cover
The masthead
By appearing like a hostage letter, it adds to the mystery of Lily Allen. It advocates a side of Lily Allen that has been trying to escape and now she is releasing her true self. The black and white contrast of the letters represents the contrast of Lily Allen's change.
