Hollyoaks Soap Magazine Front Cover

This is my soap magazine front cover for Hollyoaks. I have used a close up image of 'Mercedies' featured at the front to show her scared facial expression. A medium close up of 'paul' is featured slightly stood behind mercedies with his hand on her impling to the audience that he is theone in control and relating to the story line. for the heading i chose to use the words 'operation stalker' ironicly linking to paul; 'opereation' as he is a doctor and also giving away part of the story line; 'stalker'. I have also use a rhetorical question as the strapline 'is jacqui too late!?' to draw in the readers and grab their attention. Small images in boxes are features to link to other made up tv shows to feature the codes and conventions of other soap magazines.
