Genre: Fashion Magazines
Mastheads –
- All three of
my chosen magazines have title that are bold, simple and clear.
- All three magazine covers have been designed so that
the photograph overlaps with the title, this makes the photo more center of
attention and draws the reader in more to the main topic of interest in the
magazine.
- Two of my chosen magazines choose to use colour in
their title so that it works with its surrounding pictures and text and so the
theme of the magazines content is shown at first glance. However the Vogue
magazine that doesn’t use bold colours in their title compensates for lack of
colour in their photography and subtitles.
Images and Colour Themes –
- All three magazines uses celebrities as
selling points and all but one try and make the product being sold central of
the page so that the reader is originally drawn to the person on the cover and
then to what they are wearing. How the photo and cover is laid out will have to
represent the celebrities personality and clothing style, for example Vogue
have gone for very loud but feminine colours that represents Lady Gaga and an
artist, this is therefore a contrast to her dress which is simple and graceful.
- Colour themes chosen
generally complement colours in the main photo. For example in Ella the colours
in the photo are quite cold and quiet so they have chosen similar colours for
the text.

Cover Lines –
- Cover lines with
main information that will hook the reader to want to read more are normally
the second largest piece of text of the cover and normally are bold and a
strong clear intriguing colour.
- stories in the magazine
that are the most interesting normally are placed nearer the top of the page
and less intriguing cover lines are smaller and near the bottom, however still
bold and different to other text on the cover.
Plugs -
- On
all three magazine covers the plugs are short, sweet but very to the point
which is good because this hooks the reader onto the information right at the
start and makes them want to read more.
-
All plugs stay within the colour scheme of the rest of the cover which of the
reader is visually pleasing.
