1. Analysis of magazine in general
I really live the layout
of Vogue’s magazine, I
feel as if it is busy but
captures the key
information by a well
designed structure. A
structure similar to this
would be key to my own
magazine.
The way they have almost
overlapped the photograph in
front of the title really
intrigues me because it brings a
real three dimensional element
to the page- this is something I
may wish to involve within my
own magazine.
The font used for the
title is very iconic. I
believe although it is
simple, it really is the
icon of vogue-it’s how
it is known worldwide.
The way they have
decided to use a white
font to contrast with
the pink background fits
very nicely and allows
the title of the
magazine to be read
clearly with no
struggles.

2. ELLE also have a very
unique font which is
related to them. The
tall and smart font
allows the audience to
know exactly what
magazine they’re
picking up as the title
is extremely bold and
eye catching.
The way in which this
magazine is structured
is unique, and differs
to other fashion
magazines. With the
variety of fonts this
enables the audience to
highlight the key
information such as
‘sales’.
Finally, the
photograph
positioned behind
the text gives a
particularly nice
look to this
magazine, this is
because although it
is simple it gives
the audience
something original
to look at. The way
they have managed to
completely separate
the fonts colour
from the
photograph/backgroun
d is very clever as
it still holds some
sort of theme to it.

3. The text throughout this
magazine is very bold
and does a good job at
featuring individual
elements of the
magazine.
The way the font is all
positioned in front of
the background allows
the audience to focus on
the highlighted key
information-which is a
very smart marketing
technique.
I really like the way
the title is
positioned on its
side as it defies the
stereotype of having
your title at the top
of a magazine. The
red behind the title
really helps to
highlight the title
and make it stand
out.
