3. Masthead- is big and bold
to attract the audience
because if it was small
then no one would
notice.it is also, on the
side which you don’t see
in any front cover
magazines this is to make
this magazine different to
any of the others.
Red hair makes her
unique and not many
magazines have
models with red hair.
This is a way of letting
people know that even
if your different from
everyone else you can
still go places and
being recognised for
being different is a
good thing. Another
reason why they would
have used red hair is
to represent love and
also danger this could
mean that people are
scared to be and wear
what they love
because of people that
would judge them.
There is not much
writing in this front
cover this is so that the
audience focus mostly
on the image rather
then the texts.
This magazine is known for
having front covers that
only show one eye. This is
what separates this
magazine from the rest
because without even
seeing the masthead
people will already
recognise what the
magazine is whereas every
other magazine has a
similar image to each other.
Rarely are big jewerlly seen
on people on front covers.
The crown indicates
power, legitimacy,
honour and glory.
This magazine is aimed for
teenagers and young
adults, It is clear to see
what audience this
magazine is aimed for
because of the bright and
extravagant colours and
also what kind of style the
model has.

5. For my magazine I will need images of
people who have an urban style and
also a casual style this way I can
compare the too and have a wide
variety of different styles for the
audience to look at and read about
they can then take fashion inspirations
from these people and also, I will be
adding in what shops the pieces of
clothing's are from this way if they like
something they see they can purchase
it from using the information in my
magazine.

6. To try and achieve real looking and
natural photos I will be visiting places that
have an urban vibe to them because this
is the thing my target audience will like to
see the most. I will be taking pictures of
people that I think have an urban/retro
style to them and will be placing them as
images for my magazine I will ask them
where each of there clothing's are from so
that I can have that information in my
magazine for my audience. I will be using
photos to adjust the images and put them
into a background that will suit my
magazine because in some of the images
from outside the background wont look
that appealing to the audience. Also, form
using Photoshop I will be able to edit the
pictures that I gave taken and make them
look exactly how I and my target audience
would want them to look even if that is
adjusting only small things. It is a great
way to turn a good image to an even
better one.

7. The layout of a fashion magazine is very different
to other normal type magazines because they
have to use a lot of images so the audience can
understand what type of clothing they are talking
about in the actual writing of the magazine also,
they have to use images and colours that will
appeal to their target audience and also lay it out
in a way that will appeal to people but still make it
look organized and well structured so that the
audience have a clear understanding with what is
going on and what images goes with what section
on the article. The colour scheme is going to be
bright colours but also, have a few dark colours in
there it depends on what the person being
photographed is wearing and then from there you
decide what kind of background and font colours
you will need to suit the images. The colours used
in this are very simple colours compared to the
colours of the clothing's that the models are
wearing in the pictures the reason for the chose of
colouring for the text and the background being
black and white is so that is doesn’t take the
attention or distract the audience from the main
and first thing that they want the audience to see
which is the pictures. The structure of this page

8. Doinfleek and 187 mob are fashion websites that sell
streetwear for an audience of the same audience of mine
which is 18-28 year olds. Their clothing appeals to them
because they are urban streetwear pieces that everyone is
wearing because it such a unique and distinctive brand.
From this website I will be looking at the way their pictures
have been taken and what type of clothing's the models are
wearing to input into my magazine. Their clothing's are very
simple but unique for example a black t-shirt with a random
image on it and caption of a popular urban song.

9. The message being conveyed in this article is that
make up which was created and looks from the
80’s is coming back and is starting to become a
trend it talks about what kind of bright colours are
making there way back into the trend of make-up
and also, the well known people who are starting to
also follow the trends of the 80’s make-up from
using high end products such as charlotte tilbury
and Estée lauder. The reason for naming such high
end products in this magazine because the
magazine in targeted to older women who have the
money to actually buy these products this is shown
from the price of the magazine its self.
The double page spread looks very elegant, the
black font on a white background means it stands
out and looks stylish and classy. This contrasts to
the coloured make up on the models face, which
dominates the whole right page. This draws our
attention to the make up and relates to the text ‘the
return to make up’. The bright colours used
connotes happiness and vibrancy suggesting that
is a positive article about make-up. The reason to
why the page layout and the font on the dps is so
neat and organized is so that it will draw more
attention to the lady's face makeup being messy
this is a way to make something that you want the
audience to see the most stand out. The colours of
the make up such as red which connotes love and
pain this links back to the headline ‘’the return to
make-up’ which colour mean that make up is so
loved by people that its coming back into peoples
lives. The black eye liner indicates fear in the eyes
because of the colour black and what is represents
if the eyeliner was yellow it would connotes
happiness this is showing that women feel like they
have to wear make up to fit in and it is sad in a way
that this is way that people think.
The structure of this dps is very organized and well thought
out this makes it easier to read for the audience.

10. Case studyVogue was founded in 1892 by Arthur Baldwin Turnure, an American business
man it was a weekly newspaper in the United States, sponsored by Kristoffer
Wright. the first issue was published on December 17 of that year, with a cover
price of 10 cents by now the price of a vogue news paper has gone up by $3.50
because of its popularity and how big it has become since the start. The
magazine’s volume became thicker and its main focus was turned on women.
In1932 the American Vogue for the first time ever had placed a colour photography
on its cover this was a big deal because not much magazines had colours in them.
Since the first vogue magazine it has completely changed and become more
creative, emancipated and sexy. The Devil Wears Prada movie, had finally turned
Vogue into Nr1 Fashion Magazine of the World, not just reflecting fashion trends,
but effectively shaping them. The magazine was not based in America but it
started to become world wide with country's like; India, Russia, China, UK The
British Vogue was the first international edition. Every June since 2001 during the
Moscow International Film Festival Vogue gives its Award for Best Styling in a
movie. Vogue reportedly makes $2 million annually and is worth around $35 million
this is because it is one of the biggest magazines ever made and because of the
use of the biggest celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé this brings in more
audiences that know of these celebrities. Inside a vogue magazine would be
fashion ideas and inspirations. The colour scheme for vogue is always different
and unique. Target audience for vogue are 38 year olds the reason for this is
because vogue has clothing pieces that are very expensive and high end so they
target it to women who have the money to buy the clothing's. The page layout for
this front page magazine is very dark and sexual which encourages male gaze the
colours such as red which indicates fire and blood, so it is associated with energy,
war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.
Red is a very emotionally intense colour. It enhances human metabolism,
increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. The way she is posing links
back to my first point about the cover being very sexual by placing a fish net which
indicates sexual interaction and also, it is being used as almost as a facade to hide
behind who she really is behind all the make up and sexual posing. Eye contact in
this picture is a very big thing because it almost looks like she is looking directly at
you when you take a look at this image this is direct contact and it makes you feel
as though the magazine is meant for you and you almost feel a connection. The
headline in this front cover is being placed in front of the picture

11. Case study 2i-D is a British magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and youth culture. i-D was
founded by designer and former Vogue art director Terry Jones in 1980. i-D has built
its reputation on being a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. i-D has
come a long way since its pre-digital, cut-and-paste days and has developed into a
glossy magazine that documents fashion and contemporary culture, and has broken
ground defining it too. more than 30 years, its editorial content still manages to surprise
and inspire. The wink and smile on each front cover – a graphic representation of the
magazine's logo – have become integral to the i-D identity. Over 300 of the world's
fashion elite, the great and the grounded, have given i-D a cheeky wink, from the likes
of Madonna, Tom Ford, Chloë Sevigny, Björk, Tilda Swinton, Drew Barrymore, Lil' Kim,
Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. -D features people in fashion, music, art, clubs, film
and every other creative field, and has prided itself on being the first to scout talents
such as Wolfgang Tillmans, Nick Knight, Dylan Jones, Juergen Teller, Caryn Franklin
and Craig McDean, who all started their careers here. Madonna, Kanye West, Raf
Simons, Grace Coddington, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Moss, Carine Roitfeld, Naomi
Campbell, Selena Gomez, Victoria Beckham and Tom Ford have all appeared on the
cover of i-D magazine.it is targeted to both men and women however, the target
audience is predominantly middle aged women between 18-34.it began off as a fanzine
dedicated to the street style of the punk-era London and embarked on a journey that
revolutionised not only the world of fashion publishing but, fashion it-self. I-D continues
to encourage creativity and to shout out for young youth culture. Therefore I-D has
become one of the most recognised and diverse magazines in the world. This
magazine is very similar to the magazine that I am looking to do and also we have the
same target audience.in this magazine it gives me a clear understanding of what kind
of images and colours I have to use to make it appeal to my target audience. Colours
used such as yellow It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow is
seen before other colours when placed against black; this combination is often used to
issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honour and loyalty. This links back to the
image where Rhianna looks as though she is in charger because of the way it is very
dominating and the head tilted back and also, the eye contact shows power and
confidence. The use of plain colours is to show that this magazine is a simple and
sheik magazine also, telling the audience that this magazine is quite a serious and well
organized magazine.
